William Ki.iott died at midnight while out?:i a Uitck hunting trip. | He went Tin-.-day to the quarantine station, on Saint Helena feenud, and after a successful day's hunting yesterday spent Wednesday evening with the (jtarantine official, sitting before an open fire. Shortly before retiring he was attacked with acute iDdiirestio.. and after a few .moments tiled. The body was brought to Beaufort ti.is afternoon. The funeral service* will be held at Saint Heleua church, though i.o definite arrangements have been made. Col. Elliott came down from , Washington Friday and has been hunting in the vicinity since, apparently iD good health and in good spirits. * William Elliot was born in Beau. fort in 1837, the son of the iiev. S'ephen Elliotc. After preparation at Beaufort collage he went to Harvared university, and afterwards to the University of Virginia. In 1861 he was admitted to the bar in Charleston. At the breaking out of tKe war he wys appointed on Gover 9 >r Pickens* staff, and soon after enlisted as 1st iietitenant under Capt. j Burnet tihett.in the Brooks'artillery, j Aftel considerable service in the! Virginia campaigns he was made ' assistant adjutant general on the staff of General Stephen D. Lee and served in Yidcsburg during the *iege. At the close of the war he tad risen to 'lie rank ot brigadier j genem". During .he last war of the war j he married Miss Isabel Barnwell of j Beaufort. She died four dears later, i leaving oue daughter, wjm married Mr W B Smith WhaUy, of Charleston. At the close of the war he began the practice of law in Beaufort aod entered npon those political activities thai made up so large a part of his J career. In be was elected in-j teudaut of Beaufort aud member of the legislature. Iu 1876 aud 1SS8 he served as delegate to the national Democratic convention.During these years the Democratic par y in Beaufort conntv and in the 1st Congressional district was having a stormy ' fe. Mr. Elliott directed the con -1 test in this COUDty, acting as chairman of the county excutive committee, for many years and uutil his election to the 50th Congress. He was re-elected to the 52nd Congress and received the certificate of election to the 53d Congress, but was unseated bv the house.

While in congress he was successful in furthering the harbor improvements at Georgetown and Charleston, and was chiefly instrumental in having the government establish the naval station at Port 1 loyal. A tickling cough, from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr Shoop's Cough Cure. Aud it is so thorough lv harmless and safe, that Vr snoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesitation, even to very young babps. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung? healing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opinm, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or surpress.Simply a resinous plant extract, that helps to heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call this shrub which the Dr uses, "The Sacred Herb." Always demand Dr Shoop's Cough Cure. D C Scott. I TENDRILS. Moving Parts Which Are ths ""Brains i of Plant Lift." There are two classes of plants , which are incited by man s presence to describe certain definite movements One claas, the sensitive plants, retract their leaflets as we Ipproach them, as if they resented any attempt at closer intimacy, while the ?ther class, comprising ail those vines which develop climbing j organs called tendrila, will reach1 out toward U9 if we place our hands in contact with them and will .even I use a finger as a support to climb upon. We know that these tendrils 1 will wind just as readily about a twig or a grass atem, but as -one feels these sensitive strands multiply their encircling coils about one'6 ' fingers there almost seems to be e&- i tablishcd between ue and the vege- j table world a more intimate rela- i tionship tlian lias evvr existed before. Tendrils are indeed capable of exhibiting faculties and goine through evolutions more wonderful perhaps than many of us realize. It is only after we have seen thena at work, testing with their sensitive tips the objects they come in con tact with, apparently considering their suitability as a support and then accepting or rejecting them, as the case may be?it is only then that we realize how justly they have been called the "brains of plant life.", _ I The thoroughness with which these wandering tip^explore their surroundings is illusfrated bv an in- j stance 1 observed in a grapevine tendril. A cherry branch whose, leaves had been variously punetured and scalloped by insects hung near the tendril, and a particular leaf j had just one small hole in its blade. not'over three-sixteenths of an inch \ in diameter. So careful had been the exploration of the leaf's surface j that this bne small hole had been j discovered by the tendril, which had j thrust itself nearly three inche#! through the opening. ? Harper's Magazine. A Tart Old Lady. In Indiana a good many year? j ago a eerlain old lady, summoned a< a witness, came into court wearing a large poke bonnet, such as was then much affected by rural folkf. Her answers to the questions put to her being rather indistinct, the court requested her to speak louder, though without much success. "The court cannot hear a word , x-ftti c iv mv vnrul woman." said the i judge. "Please to take off that huge bonnet of yours." "Sir," she said composedly and distinctly enough this time, "the court has a perfect right to bid a gentleman take off his hat, but it has no right to make a lady remove her bonnet" "Madam," replied the judge, "you seem so well acquainted with the law that I think you had better come up and take a seat with us on \.r.nnk ? ill C UViivu. "I thank your honor kindly," she responded, dropping a low courtesy to the court, "but there are old women enough there already."? Law Notes. 1 - r': Don't Speak to Your Horso. Caress must promptly reward performance and the voice be never used?the horse does not understand your words, and if you are angry your tones will only further disconcert him?while if you are eternally talking to him you simply render him careless and inattentive. Caress the spot you have just addressed nor think that he understands a pat on the neck as reward for something he has just done with his hind quarters. Go direct to the spot, and where two parts have been addressed caress them both, aa in backing, the bind quarters and the sides where the legs came, etc.? and do the same thing in bitting.

The name of Ai plecrcss, the old Eoss-shire seat of the Mackenzie?,! is a modern corruption of Abercrosan, meaning "at the mouth of the Crosan," the little river which there flows into the Atlantic. The names of many places in Scotland have un- | dergone changes as curious and confusing. The thousands of travelers who weekly alight at the fine sta- j tion of St. Enoch, in Glasgow (called alter the neighboring church), no doubt identify the name in some vague way with the patriarch Enoch, mentioned in an early chapter of Genesis. It is really a corrupted form of St. Thenog, or Thenaw, who was the mother of Kentigern, Glasgow's first bishop and patron saint and who ia the subject of as quaint a legend ag any to be found in mediaeval 6acred history. ?Modern Society. * UNION GKADED SCHOOL Pleasant Entertalnmed to Be GI?en on December 20RHEMS, December 6:?At the last meeting of the Francis Marion Literary Society the members thought that it would be best to close the society until after the holidays because the weefc following i would embrace examinations and the follow-in? Friday would be needed l to practice for tiie approaching entertainment. A remarkable pupil entered our school last Monday morning. He is a man very near middle age and after preaching for fifteen years has decided to try aud obtain an education, so for the first time in life he sat in the school-room last Monday. He entered the sixth grade, having studied at h'?me for all the educa tion he has obtained. We honor and respect a man of such noble purpose and determination. We are in the midst of our examinations this week and without a doubt shall be glad when the last one is finished Friday. On Monday Mr J L Cook, lecently returned from his studies in New York,and Mr Kirkland Cockfield, a member of the Senior class of Johnsonville Graded school, visited our school. Also Hon. Josiah Doar, superintendent of education from ' Georgetown, was with us Tuesday) aud Wednesday. Mr Doar is a fre ! nnent visitor and one we always; 1 welcome with intense pleasure. On this occasion he gave us a delightful , address replete with humor, as,only I he can give. All visitors are cordi- ( ally welcome at all tini^s by teachers | and pupils. , For the night of December 20, there has been planned one of the most notable entertainments ever held in the history of onr school. The programme as has been arranged is varied and elaborate throughout, j Those who come will be made- ac- i quainted with the effect of "Wo-; man's Suffrage*' by means of one of ; the plays.

Not a remedy that will straighten the | distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor ran Dony > growths back to flfsh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and panes of this deplorable disease. In Germany?with a Chemist in the City of barmstadt? I found the last ingredient with which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last Ingredient. I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now. at last, it uniformly cures all curable cases of this heretofore mach dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood, seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pa*? from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism is gone forever.
