A SEVEX-YE.YK-OLirS LMTKJESSIONS. j If there is one thing I Late it is, whisk". I am only seven years of age, but I j have seen enough of whiskey to make ; me hate it forever and forever. I can't understand why people wiii ! drink it when it is such an awful bad j thing and m^kes them look so wild and ! terrible. O, I ea: remember how my pa used to look when he drank whisky, and I! can remember bow scared mother was j i? i- i? - i wnen iiy came iioae arunK. I used to think we were as good as j other people, for we had. a nice house j and had enough to eat, and we all seemed : to get along first-rate, except when pa j would go to the tavern and get drunk, j and then "when he came home we would have an awful time. He would strike mother with anything he could get hold of, and once when i told him he was a bad man to act that way, he took me by one foot and slammed "me clean across the room. I was hurt and scared too, and mother she screamed awful, and then she picked me up and ran out of the house. It was a cold night?yes, awful cold; I can mind that very well, for when mother took me to Mr. "Weston's house they said I was nearly frozen. My leg hurt me awfol bad too, and I cried and cried. TvT Mr. Weston brought the doctor, he said my leg was broken, and he set it, and it hurt pretty bad too, but I tried not to cry, for I knew it made mother feel kind of distressed. But I couldn't stop the cry altogether. It would break out sometimes. I tell you it is pretty bad to have a broken leg. It is bad for a little boy, but I reckon it wouldn't be so bad for a big boy or a man. I hated my pa after that. What did he break my leg for? I asked myself that question a good many times. Wasn't I his own boy? And hadn't he been good to me before? Then why should he rise right up and slam me across the room and break my leg just 1 - T "U Ct .3 TY-*Q"n -fn UeCii UiU X lUiU f: 11:? iic uas a uaw imuu W act so ugly and strike mother? I talked to mother about it when I was lying.with my broken leg, arid it hurting pretty bad too, and she said it was whisky that did it. But I tola her that if whisky and pa hadn't got together it wouldn't have been done. Whisky in a bottle wouldn't have done it, but v hisky in pa is what caused the trouble. I told mother I wondered why people drank whisky when it made them so bad, and caused them to slam boys around and break their legs. She said they couldn't help it. When they commenced they were compelled to go ahead. They - ' "? ? iT l ungnt try to stop, out; tney coiuun i. If whisky is as bad as that, oughtn't people to be very careful? I think they ought to shut _ their mouths and strike right and left -when they coine near to it. I never asked mother to explain all about this, for she died soon after, and I didn't have an opportunity to talk to her, but I suppose that he meant that whiskey would chase a man and get into his mouth and down his throat whether he wanted it or not. If that's the case, whisky is a terrible monster. Mr. Weston Is a preacher, and he says it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder, and he says that serpents and adders arc snakes. I have been thinking about it a good deal, and I can't just understand howwhisky can get into the shape of snakes, but that must be the way of it, for how could whisky chase a man and get down his throat, unless it did first get into the shape of a snake, and then ran along the ground and climb up his legs and plump down his throat? And I think this must be the way of it, because I heard Sammy "Weston tell about a drunkard that had snakes in his : laAALa T rr.Ti cr|q^Pg jCQUldfl' t climb clear up to the man s moutii and so they got into his boots. If I'had to have snakes at all, I'd an awful sight rather they would get into my boots than to get \nLo my mouth and down my throat. And, speaking of boots, I've got my first pair on now. "My pa r ever had money to buy me boots,'but he had money to buy stakes. Now, which is the worst? Snakes, of course. I said my mother as dead. Yes, she didn't live ioner after pa broke my leg and drove us out of the bouse. Mr. Weston says she died of a broken heart. I reckon when people die of broken hearts they cry r. good deal. That's the way it "was -with mother, anyhow. I asked Mr. Yfeston if he didn't think that when my poor mother died of a broken heart, somebody oughtn't to go over and make my pa die of a broken head. Ee began it, you know. Mr. Weston got up and went to look for good book. I wonder if he thought it was wicked for me to say that. I continued. I said I guessed it would be about right, for he had given mother a broken heart and me a broken leg, and it would only be doing him justice to give him a broken head. Mr. Weston didn't say anything, but continued to look for the book. Bat I am glad my mother is dead. She sighed so much, and she cried nearly all the time, and ilr. Weston says he believes that she has gone where there is no sighing nor crying, and where God wipes all tears away. I don't reckon pa will ever get into that good place where mother and God are. When I get to be a big man, I intend to fight whisky and snakes as long as I live. I don't like people that sell whisky. If I could talk well, wouldn't I give them a blowing up? If nobody had sold pa whisky he couldn't have got drank. And if he hadn't got drank, he wouldn't have broken poor mother's heart. And he wouldn't have broken my leg. H. Eliott ^IcBriue. ? Fair Play Asked For. Under the heading ''Give Virginia Fair ty "tVxa rv?nn<1 s7/>to t\$ \TAn/lov evening enters into a long and exhaustive analysis of the debt question, with the view of showing that the people of the Old Dominion are full}* justified in refusing any longer to '"tamper with impossibilities." A proposition was made to the bond holders to pay them ?703,552 interest every year on a capital of $23,277,700. The representatives of the bond holders demand interest to the amount of $934,582 annually on a principal of $32,3S4,455. As an acceptance of the latter proposition would necessitate an increase of taxation, cruel to j the impoverished agricultural sections of j the State, or further cripple the public-! schools, in which, as it is, only 51 per cent. ! of the children of school age are enrolled, i the neonle csn never a free tr? it Th< v f cannot be made to believe thai a sacririt e which to many of their dearest interes's would mean ruin can reasonably be expected ol 'hem, even to pay the public indebtedness that hangs around their necks like a mill fone. It is a situation that entitles thern to the sympathies of the country, and if they are forced into repudiation ai last, the event, though to be deplored, will not be -without its many mitigating circumstances. Com2Ienting cn the election oi Chandler to the United States Senate, the Boston Herald says: "But who snail say that 'Bill' Chandler is not a fair representative of the party which selects a Keifer for Spcakc-r. accepts IMahone and Eiddleberger as its Southern allies, and puts forward as its national standard-bearer a man so | smirched that in almost any civilized ! country in the "world he could not remain < in public life?" i WeMbiu^ton Aoten. Few persons, even among those who have figured prominently in political life, are better known, or more closely identified with the history of the National Capital, 1 than is W. W. Corcoran, Washington's; aged millionaire and philanthropist, and the announcement of the fact thit he had suffered a partial .stroke of paralysis ere ated u very general sensation throughout \ the city. If evidence were lacking us to j the general feeling ot anxiety- wmcn pre-, vails, it would be at once supplied by a re- : view of the enormous pile of cards which were deposited upon the card table in the ! hail of Mr. Corcoran*s residence upon the i day following the announcement of his' illness. Nearly every person of note in ' the city hud a card there. Among others : were those of Secretaries Bayard. "Whit-: ney and Fairchild: the French, German j and Brazilian Ministers, Baron and Buron- | ess Rosen. Admiral Porter. Admiral .John H. Russell. Medical Director F. L. Harvey and the officers of the Washington Monument Association, of which Mr. Corcoran , is the president. "While there has been a marked improvement in Mr. Corcoran's condition since last Tuesday. ::ndhe is dow able to sit up a portion of the time, still the physicians represent that his life is in the balance. Against the unfavorable con-' dition of his extreme old age, the rareness of recovery in such cases, and the possibility that an additional stroke of paralysis may come at any time, there are the favorable circumstances that the patient is endowed with a remarkable strong constitution, and his general health is good. Under 'he present administration of the postal service the position of postofiice inspector is not as much of a sinecure as in the past. The last session of Congress provided that all fourth-class postollices should 'io i'r.cTwt<vl ns TPOTilarlv as the more im portant ones. The examination of fourth class offices that Lave thus far been made, make a very gratifying exhioit of the condition of the service. Out of more than 1,000 inspectors reports, less than 100 of of them contain any suggestions of inefficiency or carelessness in the management of the offices. * 31 r. Jay Gould accompanied by hi.s wife and "iree children arrived in 'Washington on Wecnesday last, the party coming up the Potomac on 3Ir. Gould's magnificent steam yacht Atlanta. During his stay in the city Mr. Gould fought very shy of reporters, in fact despite their greatest effort, not a single reporter succeeded in obtaining an interview with him. There were various rumors current as to the object of his visit, and the rooms of the InterState Commerce Commission were closely watched by the newspaper' men. He failed, however, to realise the expectations of the watchers as he failed to make his appearance, and after spending the day in driving about the city he left for Fortress 3 [on roc. Tuttle's Little Tattle. The Philadelphia Times thinks that it was not necessary for General Sherman to write a public letter condemning the false attitude in which one arrant rte-maorvrne named Tuttle. of Iowa, has ??o-o? ? . apparently placed the Grand Army of that State toward the President. The Grand Army encampment will be held at St. Louis next fall, and a committee of citizens of that city, embracing men oi both parties, came to Washington specially to urge the President to visit St. Louis at the time the encampment is to be held, and the President gave a conditio^;:: ^ romise to do so. The great mass oi ;Le veteran soldiers would have been glad to welcome the President as a guest on such an occasion, but one bktant j demagogue, clothed with a little briel ! authority, has interviewed himself fo: j the newspapers in opposition to receiv! ing the President, until General Sherj man felt - called upon to vindicate the I soldiers of the Union against the dis j grace into winch a babbling fool would | plunge them. The attempt to degrade j the soldiers of the country by an open | exhibition of disrespect for the Presided comes from one Tuttle, of Iowa, who i happens to have climbed his way to the ^-Jhead of the Grand Army of that State. He was a soldier ana = -rioicnt l?emocra; during the war, and was several times 2 Democratic candidate for local or State 1 offices. He was the Democratic candidate for Governor after the war, when the Kepubiicans proved to their own satisfaction that he was more of a cotton speculator than soldier. He continued : to seek political honors as a Democrat until 1876, when he had succeeded in an election to the Legislature: but many years of political disappointments as a j Democrat had then wearied of poj litical husks and he suddenly turned up i as a Republican and quite as radical as j he had been in support of Democracy. The Piedmont Exposition. This exposition which will onen iu Atlanta on the 10th of October premises to surpass in magnitude and grandeur the cotton exhibit held there some years ago. The Piedmont section of the South wilfbe .r.-ii ?i iUilJ Icpiey iilCU auu Lia\i AJ.vpvoitivyxi I.iji hold for two weeks. The main features of the occasion may be brieay stated as follows: President "Cleveland and some members of bis cabinet will certainly be there. This fact is advertised with his permission. The premium list covers ?20,000. There is also over *10,000 in racing purses, and 200 of the finest raccs in the country will be there. There is $3,500 in military prizes. There will be an encampment and a srand review by the President. The pyrotechnic display is guaranteed to be the finest ever seen in America except at the opening of the Brooklyn bridge, and will cost ?0,000/or three nights. One of the features will be Niagara Falls in fire works, a living wall of light, GO feet high and 150 feet long. Atlanta spends ?150,000 on grounds and buildings. The buildings excel in beauty and size those of the cotton exposition. Every day will be full of sport and amusement for the crowd. The railroads will give reduced rates, certainly round trip tickets, at perhaps a cent a mile. Arrangements for reaching the grounds are perfect. Both the railroads and street cars run into the grounds. The Exposition will undoubtedly be the biggest show ever held in the South and will make an exhibit of the riches of the Piedmont region never before eaualled. liane Bail Profit*. The Boston Herald has been figuring on the profits of base ball. The Herald takes Boston as a good example by which to illustrate the profitableness of this new business: There will be about 63 games of base ball played in the League Association during the season, of which about 20 have already bjeo played. The attendance si them has averaged fully 4,000 people. This, at 50 cents a ticket, yields considerably more than ?2,000 a game, for there are reserved seats, lo the amount of 1,400 in number, at 25 and 50 cents each, the most of which arc generally sold, and there are perquisites of the grounds which bring in money. It is a low estimate to set down the receipts of the season at ?125,000. Out of this are to l?e taken, perhaps, ?35,000 for salaries of players, .$2,500 for ground expenses and a considerable sum for the cost of transporting the players from one city to another. It will be liberal to call this altogether $50,000. The profits, therefore, tint the season of five months will represent will be $75,'MX).

There is a long and curious story be- ; hind the announcement made, with a ! good deal of sensational flourish, that a 1 fortune of $7,000,000 has been left to I Mrs. Kate Louise Terry by her late hus- J band, Ivan Petro Terr}-, who died in J Paris, where the lucky widow is still i living. The $7,000,000 will probably \ be cut down a good deal, but if the for- ; time reaches half that sum Mrs. Terry | is an extraordinarily fortunate woman. I Of the lad7 the Hartford Times says: Her life up to the present time, if ac- i curately depicted in a novel, would : make interesting reading. Kate Louise | Norman (her maiden name) came ' hither from England in childhood with ; her father, who settled in Brooklyn, j and eventually became a judge there, j She is now about 32 years of age, hand- ; some, of good figure, and a style that ! has a good deal of dash in it it was j to her good looks and her style that she j owed her court-room marriage to Ivan ; P. Terry. Before that she had been the i wife of the notorious bank burglar, ; Charley Bullard, who is now said to be ! serving a long term of imprisonment in i Belgium. The marriage to Bullard took I place in England, where she was visit- j ing, when she was about 16 years old. j Bullard then went by the name of j Charles Wells. He was a smart fellow, i with a fine address and plenty of spend- j *? ? V* q o a r] lllg LLluuev, auu uv knew nothing about his real character. He took her to Paris, where he opened a sort of American bar-room on a showy scale, and installed his pretty young wife as cashier. She naturally attracted a good deal of notice, and the venture prospered for a while. Bullard gave it up, however, and brought his wife to Xew York. It was then she found out who and what he was. Another wife soon turned up, and the I couple separated, never to meet again. The second wife took her two children and went off on her own account How she lived till sbe met Terry does not appear to be known. He was the son of a millionaire sugar-planter m Cuba, and had made some money himself. They were married without any loss of +Ua cnKp/irtnonf ltl f)?Q LIUIU, UUb LILO OU^CVV^UUU<y were not entirely harmonious. A number of little unpleasantnesses occurred, and led up finally to a police-court sensation. Mrs. Terry was of a decidedly jealous turn, and once on going through her husband's pockets, after the manner of wideawake wiv,.-s, she found a pushing letter from a young woman explaining why a certain appointment was not kept. It is needless to say that the letter did not imj>rove Mrs. Terry's state of mind. After thinking a while she set a trap for the young woman, and caught her in it. Then she called on her at her home to give her a talking I to, and got turned out for her pains. That warmed her up still more, and her next step was to make a charge against the young woman of appropriating certain money that she said she missed. Then came the police-court sensation, in which the two women played prominent parts, and which the reporters j n:iu a niie uiue nuuug up ansi a. I great deal of wrangling the charge was I dismissed, and the second woman, a [ Miss Atwood, soon after retaliated by I 1 suing Mrs. Terry for slander. She j claimed 825,000 damages, and a jury ! : awarded her $300, but as Mrs. Terry ; I had no property in her name to levy on ! the judgment is still unpaid. Miss At- j j wood will try pretty hard to collect it! : when Mrs. Terry returns to New York ! i as a millionaire widow, if she does re- j ; ?urn. Her husbaud's will has been re-; | ceived there for probate, and she will; I probably follow it. The unborn child j ' is expected next month. j A Real English "Masher."

' Your first visit?" queried a reporter who saw him at his hotel. "Yes," he replied briskly, "I have ! come over just to see the country." "Have you any plans?" "Well, none very defined. I intend going out into society, as I have brought over a quantity of letters of introduction." "Will you hunt?" "Yes, rather! I am told that you have several good hunts here, among others at llockaway and elsewhere. But what I want more than anything is to get some good shooting. There is some very good duck shooting around New York, I understand, and then I propose going out west to get some large game. Sly stay here is indefinite, and depends on how much amusement I can find."

Just fancy anyone strolling about in London late on a December afternoon! It seems to me that this climate musi be very healthy." Lord Grey de Wilton then expressed anxiety to know the winner of the Manchester November Handicap, for he is zealous in all turf matters. His lordship takes much interest in the stage, although perhaps in the lighter form of entertainment. Ho has also had political aspirations, and contested the southeastern division ot Lancashire at the last election, when he was beaten by a majority of 457 votes. 'He is 23 years old, unmarried, and a great favorite in London society, and is well known at Cannes and other fashionable resorts in the south of France. ?xV. Y. Herald.

There is talk of organizing a band oi': regulators in Lancaster to make the loafing ; sneak thieves go to work or leave the towu Farmers throughout Lancaster county report their crops in as good condition nw as they have ever known them to be at this time of the year. Mr. W. J. Cunningham, of Lancaster. ; has a specimen of his cotton crop taken from a 50 acre field. One stalk measures 2S inches in height and contained 10 shapes. Some person, took the horse of Mr. Orlando Dickert, of >'ewerry, from the stable on Saturday night, and, leading it olT . some distance, shot it dead. Dr. W. B.

Willis Wright, colored, who was employed in grading the railroad to Walhalla, died last Saturday from the effects of drinking too much cold water while overheated. William Munzenmaier, a German aged 43, living in Charleston, shot himself with a pistol on Friday. The act was due to mental depression caused by supposed bus: ness embarrassments. A negro man was taken out in the weeds near the Lancaster depot, on Saturday night last, by a party of his own color and severely cowliided for making improper proposals to the wife of one of the party. The election in Darlington last week was carried by the "loan'" men by 300 majority. Town bonds to the amount of $5,000 are to be issued for the purpose of making certain improvements in the town. Lancaster I^ed'jer: It is stated that a lump of hail, weighing 100 pounds, fell at Landsford's ferry on Thursday last. If this is a fact (?) it will, to some extent, account for the cold wave which struck us about that time. Patterson, the colored Baptist divine, who was expelled from the church at Lancaster by his congregation on account of his conduct with some of the sisters, was notified, on Friday last, to vamose the town and county or take the consequences. He left. Near Massey's store, six miles c-ast of YorkviHe, Wednesday afternoon, Jim Jackson, colored, accused Mary Biooks, colored, of stealing his watch, lie went to her, on the public road, half a 'nilc below the store, gun in hand, and shot her in the thigh?inflicting a severe but not mortal wound. His wife came running down the road just in time to prevent his second shot i by telling him his stepson had taken off the watch. Jackson has fled. On Sunday niglit last it was discovered tliat an attempt had been made to burn tbe ! colored Episcopal chapel, in the western portion of Rock Hill. A pile of shavings that had been placed under the front steps had been lighted and were burning briskly wben the discovery was made. There was ! no damage done. Two negro boys were j arrested on suspicion, but, on failure of evii dence, they were discharged. Progress in the State.

A Washington dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: Here is some inside in- < formation in regard to the vacancy on the United States Supreme Bench. It come:;: from a thoroughly reliable source. There are only two points settled upon by the ! President with regard to the appointment he intends to make to 511 the existing vacancy. He has decided that the position must go to a representative Southern man, and, secondly, that he must not be more than 55 years of age. It is the desre of Mr. Cleveland that the man whom he appoints shall be a vigorous man, acd one ; who will be good for at least fifteen or twenty years' service upon the Supreme Bench. Beyond this the President has not given the question or the qualifications of any of those heretofore named in connection with the appointment the least cor- ]cration. He wants the man whom he sLa""l select to be a Democrat who will last for fifteen years or more after he has retired from the Presidential office. Was It a Ghost' Pinkey Edwards, wife of Burt Edwards, colored, was badly frightened last Friday night by what some of the darkies think was a ghost. Burt lives in a house about 100 yards in rear of Messrs. A. E. Smith & Co's. store, and on the night in qusstion his wife and children were at home alone. About 9 o'clock Pinkey heard something pass around her house, making a noh-e like a horse when walking. Suddenly it attacked the back door and tore it oil its hinges, and then took to its wings, or heels. aaci auigucea on a neiguuonng icnce. i u s. feat so frightened Pin key and her children ! that they alarmed the neighborhood with tbeir cries. A crowd gathered, but the ghost had flown. Burt does not think his visitor was a ghost and promises him a warm reception if he will call again.?liock lliU Herald. A Colored Editor'* Views. There is nothing that does more 10 injure the negro race than the ignorant jackass preachers who prey upon the pockets of the colored people. On Sunday these Bible smashers can be seen after their pulpit harangue is over, sitting around some of their members' houses, with another man's wife, waiting for the last old hen to be put on the table that they may stuff their bj-pocritical hide. They, as a rule, are always wanting to build a church, and therefore can be found with a little book . collecting money for that purpose, and ; when it has been built it would not make a j good sized coal-house.
