Freaks of the Cyclone. ?^V^?^?^ort? of the Ohm cyclone of last . ; ^ Friday show the remarkable freaks that jipi these wind storms play with haman life j ^?^^ property. ID the house of George Honman, was an eight-months-old baby, ^r - It was pfdeed* up by the wind, laid in a ' feather bed, and the whole business, i;.' "baby and ail, was carried one hundred ^J?id,.?ftj"f??fc? & was then deposited l^iwcLa lag: was. thrown on either side of ^^^?^p^.^^g fcbe bed to the ground, ^^pifier the storm a search was instituted fe^iof- the baby.

William Stevenson says that he saw the cyclone approach. It looked like a great black ball in the act of rolling over the surface of the earth. It came along with frightful velocity, and made a noise louder than the roariog of a hundred thunder peals: It was-a clear night everywhere but in the wake of the fearful monster. It was about a half mile wide, and it twisted immense trees of at the ground as though they were ;pipesteoms. It eut crops of grain anti grass-off as clean. as. a mowing machine, and in instances stripped trees of bark as a hungry Italian would peel a banana. George Fox's wagon was carried half a mile. The tires on two wheels were each cut in two as with a sharp instru? ment, and each partly straightened ex? actly in the same shape. At John Griming dishes were carried and driven into stumps so that they could not be pulled out. A Ten-Year-Old Murderess.. The Aiken Journal an<t Revieic of the 27th inst : Jane Walker, a little colored girl? about ten. years of age, was committed to the "County" jail "last week by Trial Justice E. A.- Eubanks of Mill-brook Township, on a charge of murder: From what we can gather it seems that Jane was required by her parents to mind the cnild of a near rela? tive, and becoming tired bf her charge administered concentrated lye to it, which caused its death. Jane upon be? ing arrested denied the charge, but. ad? mitted that her mother had often warn? ed ber that concentrated lye would kill anyone who swallowed it. Twins in West Wateree,. We learn that three pairs of twins have been born tn West Wateree within the past few months. One gentleman who has about seven daughters boasts of two fine girls-twins, and another boasts of two fine boys.; We also learn that the one who is the father of the girls is trying to trade with the one who is- the father of the boys. Our sympa? thies are with him and we hope the trade may be satisfactorily made. Wateree Metsenger. - -?- MM ll ummrn - I The forth- in Keely, of motor fame, in Philadelphia, is still unimpaired.

There was a good attendance of dele? gates and the Order seems to be in a ?ouT?sbing condition; During the past Fear 284 new lodges have beeu formed, ?nd 11.463 members added to the Or Jer. The present membership amounts tn round numbers to about three huu ?red thousand. The membership is rapidly increasing, and the officers of the Order presented very encouraging reports. The colony of Southerners/ who left for Brazil at the close of the late war BOW numbers about 500 souls. They ire settled in the iuterior, 400 miles from ?io Janeiro, where they have a tract about fifteen miles square. Some >f them hold slaves. They raise water? melons and cotton, and arc in a general way quite prosperous, but need schools. ] Their English is getting rather inferior j and somewhat mixed. They seem to be proud that they are Am erica us, and on? ly in one or two instances have they be? come citizens of Brazil by naturaliza? tion. Why Doesn't Prohibition Prohibit? Because laws don't enforce them? selves. It is not the private citizen's business to enforce laws ; courts and officers are maintained for that pur? pose. The officers set to enforce Pro? hibition have been too many "bully boys." How about the "bully boys V7 The saloon is his mother (lie was nominated in the saloon.) The saloon is his father (he was nominated by the saloon.) The saloon is his idol (he was nominated for the sa? loon.) In the language of the cate? chism, his chief eud is to glorify the saloon and enjoy it forever. Honest? ly now, could you expect him to murder, at one blow, his father, h?6 mother, and his Joss? Prohibition will prohibit when the officers of the law are no longer *'bully boys" -no longer .nominated, in, for or by the saloon and no^ longer afraid of it, About the only officer not afraid of it, is tite o?Seer ^<e|^?ted in opposition ?o^ffe Prohibition^ Methodist Roosters and Bar> ?. tist Pullets. We clip the following from the South? ern Christian Advoeate; "In a church not a thousand miles away, the brethren were recently gravely considering the question of dancing, which had been brought forward by the engagement of a number of jouog sisters in this world? ly amusement, when one of the brethren arose and declared that 'if it were not for the Methodist roosters our Baptist pullets would not be led so frequently to offend against the church.' We are not informed as to what action the church took ; they may yet be consider? ing the point made by their brother, who has, by the way, gained some no? toriety as ac objector. We take the liberty here and now of referring the question as presented above to our be? loved brother of the Sout?ieni Christian Advocate, with the request that he shall consider and report at his earliest con? venience as. to what ought to be done in the premises/'-Baptist Courier. **Ab, brother," replies the editor of the Advocate, '.'you are too hard for us Those dear little 'Baptist pullets' are so sweet and Dice, it is impossible to keep the 'Methodist roosters' in their own range. Cropping their wings won't do it-they mount the fence, feathers or no feathers; aDd when they get over into the Baptist common aud feed awhile on the long grass that grows by the water's edge, they forget the wholesome lessons .learned on the Methodist high lands, and strut and prance about as if to the manor borb. Can't you induce your 'pullets' to teach them better man? ners T" Mark the Facts. Mr: Neilson, the most distinguish? ed of English actuaries, after long and careful investigation and comparison ascertained by actual experience the following astounding facts : Between the ages of 15 and 20, where 10 total abstainers die, 18 moderate drinkers die. Between the age of 20 and 30, where 10 total, abstainers die, 31 moderate drinkers die. Between the age of 30 and 40, where 10 total abstainers die, 40 moderate drinkers die. Or, expressing; the fact tn another form, he says : At total abstainer 20 years old has chance of living 44 years longer, or until 64 years old; Moderate drinker 20 years old has the chance ;of living 151-2 years lon? ger, or until 35 1-2 years old. A total abstainer 30 years old has the chance of living 36 1-2 j'ears lon? ger, or until 66.1-2 years old. . A moderate drinker 30 years old has the chance.pf living 13 1-2 years longer, or until 43 1-2 old. A total abstainer 40 years old has the chance of living 281-2 years lon? ger, or until 68 1-2 years old. Moderate drinker 40 years old has the chance of living ll 1-2 years lon? ger, or until 511-2 years old.-Cana? dian Royal Templar. A Man of Principle. Schumacher, the Ohio oatmeal king, who has recently suffered greatly by a fire-to the extent of the entire loss of hia,immence flour mills at Akron-is a mon -of powes, pluck and principle ; and hence is a very hard man to kill by reverses of any sort. A few days after the fire two men ; from Cincinnati ap? peared in Akron, .and called on Mr. Schumacher for the purpose of buying a vast quantity of grain which had been more or less.damaged by the great con? flagration. The matter was at once talked over, a price for the entire lot was agreed upon, and a che;k was be? ing drawn for the purchase, amounting to thousands of dollars, when one of the buyers, -as the check was about to be banded to Mr. Schumacher, care? lessly remarked that the damaged grain 'would make a very large amount of /whiskey.' - 'What! Do you want this grain to make whiskey of V inquired My Schu? macher, stepping back a few feet. 'Yes ; we are distillers ip Cincinnati.' 'Then, gentlemen, you cannot buy any grain of me. I have no grain to sell to be made into whiskey.. Good day ' ,f We have no personal or business relations past or prospective with bim, and do nut know him at all, except for ; this incident; but we. predict that.the ?miilsof Mr. Schumacher will be re? built, and that his oatmeal will, with a better aud purer flavor than ever before, be io very great demand ; for all buyers and consumers of this healthful and popular food will be sure that Schu? macher's principles are not mixed up and sold with his oatmeal. Readers of his paper hereafter should not, and we know will not. fail, in making their purchases in this line, to call for the 'Schumacher brand.' Three cheers for Schumacher and his oatmeal l^-The Independent." "How is your SJ>H doing, Mr. Smith, who- went to Xew York a few years ago ?" "lie has made a name for himself,*' said Mr Smith.

Some time ago a gentleman was go? ing from Boston to Albany, and on his Journey got into conversation with a young man, a divinity student, who was traveling the same way. Some? thing was said about drinking, when the divinity student said : 'I ara only tweuty-five years of age, but you can't tell me anything about that. I know all there is about.drink? ing.'' The gentleman showed interest in the young man's experience, and he continued v .When I waa eighteen I went to Boston to take charge of the books in a mercantile house. In the boarding? house where I'boarded were four young men. We became companions. They all drank and invited me to join them. I declined. I said, *I am eighteen and have never drank, and it would not be just to my Christian home and my fam? ily to do fo now.' I resisted for a time ; but they resorted to ridicule, and that I could not stand. I drank and, in two years delirium tremens overtook me. [ suffered agonies. I trembled and real? ized my danger, and in alarm sought refuge in my Saviour's strength, and I now expect soon to preach the Gos? pel.' 'And will you tell me what has be? come of your boarding-house frieuds ?' .Three of them,'said the young man, 'are io drunkards' graves, and the fourth is in prison.'
