An exchange says ! that the mystery of the pyramids is at! last disclosed, that they were probably ; beer vanlts. Mr. Carlisle thinks that the battle j for tariff reform is almost won. His j opinion on this point will be very en- j couraging to reformers, for it is known I that he is accustomed to say just what ; he thinks and no more. There should i be no hesitation when the enemy fal j ters. The friends of tariff reform j should not abate their efforts on the eve of victory. It has been said that the whole inter-State commerce disputation resolves itself into the question whether the horse that carries, or the man who owns the load, shall control the direction in which it shall be sent to market, the share of it which the horse may eat anefwhk^-jd^ owner may sell. There arc casuists who" think that every tiling shonld be left to the discretion of the horse. Tiie officers of the Tr 2 liciu a meeting a few days ago, with Assistant Secretary Thompson in the chair, for the purpose of deciding on a form of testimonial to ex-Secretary Manning. It was de? - - - . . i tided to select some suitable article for presentation to Mr. Manning upon ! his return to this country at a cost not i to excoed $1,200. He will 110 doubti receive the same very gratefully as a 1 pleasant reminder of the high esteem ! In which he is held by the subordinates of the Treasury Department. "We propose," said Henry George in a recent speech, "to abolish poverty, to tear it up by the roots and open free employment for every man and woman; and in doing this we propose to disturb no man's property/' When this has been accomplished it will fairly eclipse ail 01 me magmucent feats of the present century, and there will be no end to the men, women and children who will "whoop up" George. The old scheme has already cast an iufluite amount of perspiration and still the poor arc with us. If George can work the problem : . out in conformity with the conditions that he lavs down, bv ail means let - . 1 , , him get at it. It is a well known fact all over the world that the American people will go in head and ears for a sensation. They have always had apeculiar fondness for the marvelous.; The disinterment of old man Peter 2fey in North' > Carolina a few days ago furnishes a good illustration. There is absolutely & n^hope of tracing a resemblance?to *say nothing about establishing iden ^jtity?between him and the great ITar?-* *?a3iaL M. Napoleon Xev. srrandson of jsbal Ney, said, during his visit to reinterment of the remains of his illustrious relative, the coffin was opened and the bullet-hole was found in the skull exactly where the record said one of the fatal wound? was received at the execution. It may be assumed with eutire safety that Lord "VVolseley is better acquainted with Mr. Davis now than he was at the time of writing his recent article on Gen. Lee. He is perhaps also better acquainted with the facts that he presumed to recite in the course of his narrative. lie certainly ! made many of his statements off-hand, j but he will hardly fall iuto tiie same error a second time. He owes the mail he tried to disparage a great deal more than he will ever be inclined to acknowledge. It is evident that it never occurred to his Lordship that Mr. Davis will be accorded a hearing all over the world, among friends and foes, whenever he has anything to say. A not unimportant circumstance, too, is his style of saying it. There arc several ways of speaking and writing the same language, and Gen. "Wolseley is no doubt now of the opinion that for plain "Mr. Davis" his adversary illustrates the fact in a marvelous manner. Charleston and the Railroads. The people of Charleston have found out at last that the best thing that can happen for Charleston is to have the inter-State commerce bill enforced. At a recent meeting of the Cnamber j oi commerce, Air. weary jl. >y il-1 liams, the vice-president of that body, asked the attention of the members to i the following resolution: *~be appointed to ttlUli j United States railroad commission, j asking for the immediate enforcement! of the inter-State commerce I authority is given to committee to present the petition in such manner as may seem best to them, and to cooperate with any and all other commercial bodies in carrying out the i views of the Chamber as expressed in this resolution. In speaking to ids resolution, Mr. j "Williams said: "To every seaport this Act of Con- j gress comes as a balance restorer of j the trade of its legitimate territory, ! not disorganizing but rearranging j, upon normal and natural bases" the 1] business which has been forced through ! < channels and outlets determined upon ;1 to suit private and speculative ven- 5 ^ni*oo TrritlAAnl- rnrrov^ fViA /.1.AA?-V ' 1U1V?

The resolution was passed, and a committee appointed to present a petition to the commission. The action of the Chamber was not based upon the high moral principle, "Let us be just and fear not." Still the Chamber is unequivocally committed to the proposition that the law should be enforced. ? Jl ' *11 A 2*2 <?a of t'onfc.SMOn and Avci'.lanee. The Winnsboro merchants have sent a memorial to the intcr-State coinmcrcc commission, asking1 that the new law be rigidly enforced. Colum Dia occupics II prominent yiuv*; Hi t.ijv thougats of the memorialists, as may be gathered from the following paragraph of their petition: "That your petitioners would respectfully submit that not the least of the evils engendered by the conduct of the railroads in the premises is that which flows from a blind interference with the great law of competition in the commercial world; that under a normal state or ailairs, for example, the merchants of Winnsboro and other points contiguous to Columbia, buying their goods in the great markets of the country, would compete with the merchants of Columbia; that such competition would have the sure eflect of giving to consumers, for the most part ill able to bear the burdens of corporate sins, the necessaries of ftrejw. Uio ?r.v,*est possible prices; that whereas, as "it *o?.>"!e fir-f levy an unequal tribute, and Tfrctr leave the consumer to the mercy of the morchant of tllC favored plaCCS." The trouble is, that the consumers arc not excited much. They find it very convenient to come or send to Columbia to buy their good*. They nr>!v? not nnlv hr-ffpr nrices. but better stocks 10 choose from, and enjoy other advantages besides. Prices have I always been lower here than in the towns to which the memorialists refer. One reason is that the merchants here j have been content with smaller profits, I even where goods are sold on credit. | If reports be true, some merchants j not l'ar from Winnsboro could have knocked oil' from their profits the ex! cessive freights they paid, and yet I have had left a handsome margin. We I don't knew; but there are suspicions that the Winnsboro merchants?that is, some of them?have slain the goose that laid the golden egg.? Columbia liecord. The Record is an able and enterprising journal, keenly alive to the interests of Columbia. Its defence of the railroads and their beneficiaries may b? taken as the best that can be made. But we arc constrained to remark that the reasoning of our contcmporarv "hovers 011 the verge of absurd! " ity if it does not flounder In that logical limbo." It will be observed that the liecord does not traverse the facts sot out in the memorial of the merchants of "Winnsboro, nor does it assail the reasoning of the petitioners. But it puts in what the lawyers call "a plea of confession and avoidance." Our contemporary seems to think that it hasr answered the whole matter in the simple affirmation that "the consumers are not excited much." "We recollect to have heard once that there was an unrepentant thief who died on the cross. It was not stated whether there were any persons in that day .and generation who suffered were such, and that the question as to whether they were or were not "excited much''' was immaterial io the guilt or innocence ot that historical character of unsavory record. The peculiar infraction of the law for which he suffered does not necessarily involve an issue of popular excite ment. ilaybe, however, the thief reasoned after the manner of our contemporary, and refused to repent because the people were not "excited much." The claim of the llecord that "prices have alwavs been lower here than in the towns to which the memorialists refer," is likewise a sham defence. Admitting, for the sake of argument, that the proposition of the llecord is true, and still the force of our criticism is unimpaired. Our contemporary must not only show that "prices arc lower here than in the towns to which the memorialists refer," but it must show that they arc as low as they would be were all restrictions removed and full play given to the Jaw of competition. This is what the Record must show if it would answer beforehand the question which the consumers although "not excited - "A of OIIV I LUUUil a:t liauic cv |'iv^vuuu uu? time. The disclosure of llic Record that the merchants of Columbia have been content "with "-mall profits,*' "and its insinuation that the merchants of Winnsboro have not made the most of their hard situation suggests the pious prayer of the Pharisee which assumed that omniscience might be hoodwinked, even the consumer though not "excited much" will hardly be misled by these statments, so inconiciii wuii the oruinarv-cacperience of men in thesp , . \ me ICeeord wait until the lav/ is j enforced and all communities placed upon an equal footing. Then lay on, McDuff, etc. If Columbia can't "survive in the struggle for existence" it will have to suffer as Bagdad and Babylon have suffered.

THE GItAXD TXUSK LISE. j I Messrs. Editors: Anion? all the en-! ( ^ I terpriscs inaugurated in the county of: ! Fairfield, none arc so important to ] the future development of the county as the grand trunk line railroad line from Camack, Ga., to "Wadesboro, X. C. If you were to take the map and trace the line of the proposed j route of this road, you will see that it; is destined sooner or later to link the j two in one. All arc agreed that tins road should be built, but disagree as to the mode of raising the means to the end. The only practicable and equitable i wav is by a lax levy. The burden j will then be equalized and rest genuy j upon the shoulders of ail alike. To ; attempt to construct it in any other way is utterly absurd. I am pursuaded in my own mind that if the question is agitated and properly managed, all will glide into the scam and present little if any opposition. A great deal has been written of late upon the unrighteousness of a law that wiil allow a tax to be levied upon the people. I believe that this act of j our legislators was laid in wisdom and j that it will tend to increase the re- j sources of the county. Is it not the duty of one and all to devise the means and apply the rem- i cdy that will increase values and give life to the people? I am as thoroughly convinced in my own mind that the construction of this road will tend in that direction as any enterprise ever drenme<voi^?thr> golden moment in the history of Frnneld", liud it will" not do to content ourselves within I ourselves and put forth no effort in the great problem now before us. We are not called upon to furnish all the gold ihat is necessary to forge this link, but only a part of it.

Editors. Once more I will endeavor to send you a few items from this section, although times arc very dull and news uncommonly scarce. Each one is so busy that he scarcely I knows what Ins next-door neighbor j is doing. Nothing has transpired to disturb the quietude of the community j since the lynching. The majority of the farmers have finished planting cotton, and at an early day will be ready to enter the corn-fields in the subjugation of "General Green," should he make his appearance as early this spring as he generally does. The "Means" grass appears to be very uumanageblc in this soil during the summer. Just i .1^ here let me mention tne remaiK inaue i by one who has been struggling with that grass several summers?although I will not substantiate the truthfulness of the assertion. While speaking of the rapidity of the growth of some of the plants belonging to the vegetable kingdom, lie remarked: "The"Means grass grows faster than anything else; that one day last summer he left his hoe in the middle of a cotton row at twelve o'clock when he went to his | dinner. Alter dinner lie enjoyed his usual siesta, returned to his work, j o.'.id to nis astonishment could not j decide which half of the row was i worked in the forenoon." Wheat is looking well, and some ! say the prospect for a ^ood crop is line. Oats arc not so good; they had ; begun to have a yellow cast, but since i the rain, which fell the first of last) N^ek^thcvhav^Jjettg^j^jj^^^ Gardens are looking "bnly tolerably j well, I suppose the cause may be j attributed to a late spring. The late heavy frosts killed most of the peaches in this section. A lew scattering ones remained, consequently peach pies will be scarce during the summer. Another mad dog was killed in the neighborhood one clay last week. Our community was visited a short time asro by lightning rod agents, who, notwitstan'ding' the scarcity of money, erected rods to several residences. Wurfc has been commenccd 011 the new railroad near Hickory Grove. About three weeks since, a young man, who lives about twelve miles below here 011 the river, was in the neighborhood on Sunday, and thinking that quietly gliding down the river i:i a bateau was more pleasant than tramping, so he decided to borrow one belonging to Mr. Joe Mitchell without seeing him. He was was arrested and carried before J. P. lilair, Trial Justice, 011 Saturday. A compromise was effected, and he is of the opinion that the way of the boatman is hard as well as t he way of the tranges-or. There have been a great many shad caught this season at Ninety-nine Island in Broad Iliver. lor a few days several have been enjoying trout fishing. Some days half a dozen anglers could be seen wending their way to the river with book and line, hoping to return heavily laden with the Jinny tribe. Some were successful, whlie others only returned wnn uieir patience cAuausLed, bat with a lirni resolution ancl deiei initiation that they would leave their share of the sport for the remainder of the trout season to be enjoyed by others, who are more successful. t speak from experience, not from observation. Mr. Win. E. Good, who was sent to the lunatic asylum a short time ago, returned to his family last week. There is more sicknes this spring than generally. Several families arc chilling yet. Mortality greater. More anon. x. Hopewell, York county, 5. C. I'ETITIOX OS" CITIZESS To tlxc Iuter-Staio Connuercc Commission. South Carolina, ? County of Fairfield. ? To the Honorable the later-State Coranuisiou : The petition of your petitioners would respectfully show? 1. That your petitioners are citizens of the town of Winusboro, of the ; County and. State aforesaid, in mass < meeting assembled. i 2. That said town contains about seventeen hundred inhabitants, and 1 situated about thirtv-fivc miles north : of Columbia anu about seventy miles \ south of Charlotte, and 021 the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad. ;>. That said town has 110 competing . railroad line, and all freights shipped to and from said point are shipped over the said Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad. 4. That the said corporation in the prosecution of its calling, as a common carrier, has practiced against 11s for the past twenty-five years a merci- t [ess system of unjust discriminations ( in freight charges, which has dishcart- sued our people, paralyzed the indus.rial energies of our community, Iriven our trade into other and tin- 1 latural channels. Y 5. That it is believed by your pcti- ii ioners that discriminations have been P nade in the carriage (f every article 0 and from this point l'roui the most ^ ndispensable of the necessaries of life ^ 0 the most insignificant article of i ii 11 ii mi nil r ?nTrnT?Mnwnow :rade. And your petitioners would respectfully submit herewith a few examples and references for the consideration of your honorable Commission : cotton. The freight on cotton from Winnsboro to !N'ew York or to Philadelphia is 70 cents per cwt? on an average bale of 450 pounds, $3.15. The freight from Columbia over the same line to the same points and thirty miles further is 50 cents per cwt. or $2.25 per bale of 450 pounds. See "How to Ship", p. 34. [Note: To large shippers from Columbia special rates are allowed. All bales shipped from Columbia are by special j. - - A? or A arrangement esumaiea si m>\j pouuus, making the rreight'oii a bale from Columbia to New?,'York but $1.75.] GUANO.fc The freight on a ton of guano from Norfolk, Ya., to "Winnsboro is $5.00; from Norfolk to Columbia through Winusboro and thirty miles farther it is only $3.00; from Norfolk to Augusta, Ga., through Winusboro, and one hundred aud twenty-four milc3 farther, only $2.75. [See "How to Ship", p. 34.] SUGAR. The freight on sugar from New York to Winusboro 51 cents per cwt.; to Augusta, Ga., one hundred and twenty-four miles farther, and over the satr.c iine, it is only 28 cents per cwt. [ifce "How to Ship", p. 34. ] BAGGING AND TIES. The freight on cotton ties from New York to Winnsboro is 40 cunts per cwt; to Augusta, over the sameiiue and one hundred and 'twenty-four Fiiiles farther^ it is only 18 cents. [See "How to Ship", pp. Si aucl 76.y The freight on bagging from New York to Winnsboro is 40 cents per I cwt.; to Augusta, over the same line aud one hundred and twenty-four miles farther, is only 25 cents per cwt. [See "llow to Ship", pp. 34 and 77.] r?AAT\Cf 1/UX VJ Wl/O* The freight on dry goods from New York to Winnsboro is $1.23 per cwt.; to Augusta and to Columbia, over the same line and one hundred and twenty-four and thirty miles, respectively, it is onlv 9G cents. [See "How to Ship", p. 34.] MKAL. The freight on meal from Lynchburg, Va., to Winnsboro is 2G cents per cwt.; to Columbia, over the same line and thirty miles farther, it is only 1G cents per cwt. Upon the?meal shipped to this place during the year this excess amounts to SI,500, [Note: The rates over this ITne to Augusta and to Columbia are the same when not otherwise stated. 1 G. That it has been carefully estimated by your petitioners that the people of Fairfield by reason of such unjust discriminations are forced to pay annually an indirect tax of sixty thousand dollars to the railroadsmore than is paid upon the same quantity of like goods by the adjoining County of Ilichland, in which Columbia is situated. That the weight of this burden becomes appreciable when it is stated that the entire tax paid bv this countv does not exceed 832,000. 7. That these abuses have been car 1' ea 10 SUCH extent ius,i. meituauio doing business in this town have found it to their r^u vantage to have their merchandise shipped bv this place to Columbia and then re-shipped back to Winnsboro, paying the local rates on the last shipment; that a car-load of live stock may be shipped from Atlanta, Ga., to Charlotte, X. C., and then re-shipped to Winnsboro at a total cost of seventy-four dollars; whereas, the freight from Atlanta to Winnsboro, direct, and over the same line and the shorter haul by one hundollars. That stock-dealers doin<? bnsiness in this town have availed themselves of this discrepancy.8. That your petitioners are informed and believe that like discriminations, to those herein referred to, are practised everywhere by the railroads throughout the country against communities situated as theirs. 9. That your petitioners would respectfully submit tl at not theleast of the evils engendered by the conduct of the railroads in the premises is that which flows from a blind interference with the great law of competition in the commercial wo.-ld; that under a normal state of affi irs, for example, n( c nf Wi inthnm jrirl nf-hor points contiguous to Columbia, buying their goods in the great markets o^the country, wojJd compete with the merchants of Columbia; that such competition would have the sure effect of giving to consumers, for the most part ill-able to bear the burdens of corporate sins, the necessaries of life at ihc lowest possible prices; that, whereas, as it is, the railroads first levy an unequal t-ibute, and then leave the consume:1 to the mercy of the merchant of the favored places. 10. That against the evil practices hereinbefore referred to, so inconsistent with the genius of our free institutions, your petitioners have appealed to the railroads for relief and the appeal has been passed unheard; that they have invoked the authority of the State Government, but this from the limitation of its sphere of action has been powerless to solve the difficulty. Wherefore, your petitioners pray that the law of the nation which has just been enacted for the removal of the crying evil, the admistratiou o:' which is entrusted ;o your honorable uommissio oe ei:iorceci 10 me ena that your petitioners 111 common with all of the citizens of the Republic may be restored to the enjoyment of that principle of equality which is the common heritage of Americans, and which Is guaranteed to the;n In the Constitnti0n OK."

Sudden j O ^ %t J deaths irom nervous collapse among our business, professional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of suicides, committed without apparent reason, or under so-called "depression of spirits," are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful -J- -? irs\ r\ source OI lUSUiiicy auu. i with all their grief and hon*or. j These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and prosperity. They wreck manhood's strength and woman's usefulness and beauty. - Every one should know the causes. What are they ? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in[ tense mental and physical strain | arising from our mad race after j money, position and influence; I I < ? r I __l i | | tne iears ana su uggies ui yuv- i j erty; the use of narcotics and : j stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our . desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour'3 pleasure or success. So we burn life's candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we | suffer .and die is, in plain English, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it is seated in the Serves and in the organs of Digestion, Assimilation and Kut.-Ition. Heakhy digestion being impeded or destroyed, the whole body, nerves included, is Lite rally starved; even when there is no emaciation to tell the sad stoiy. N ervous prostration sends out its warnings:?headache O # in the rooming; a persistent dull hert v in. >s or aching at the base of the brain; wakefulness: loss of a?.?; ce ar.d disgust with food; lo^b of :o.v::;al energy and interest in ordinary duties and t business; resuoasness and anxiety without rj:y assignable r e a 8 o n; breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitation of the heart; sallowncss of the skin; coated tongue arid gradual failure of strength and nmbition, O % The renu-viy is a total abandonment of the habits and customs which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of SJi aker Extract of Boots (Seigel's Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. This great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Oou.r.::?:iry of Mt. Lebanon, N. Y.*is t'S}xrvi;illy adapt- j ed to eradicate Nervous D}rspepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but powerfully upon the disordered stomach, liver and kidneys, restoring their tone and vigor, promoting the secretion of bile, expelling waste matters from the system,and Thurifying the blood. Upon the nervous system Shaker Extwct{b<:igeV$ Syrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their natural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition.
