Sitting Dull is living a life ot laziness
at Standing- Ilock Agency. Work
he considers degrading, and believes
that his victory over Custer has entitled
him to an existence of ease and
indolence.
It is rumored that the men who

from certain wide awake dime museums.
The Standard Oil Company
needs their services also.
The receipts of the Treasury for
July have thus rar avcrageu over
$1,000,000 a day, including Sundays.
This would produce an income for the
year of $365,000,000. The appropriations
were only $248,000,000, which
will leave a surplus of $117,000,000.

At a meeting of the Irish National

UV1U 11* -*> ? ? T? ***VM ?V- - ?
Mayor Sullivau presided, it was resolved
to defy the Coercion Act
and take the consequences. This
fairly represents Nationalist sentiment
throughout Ireland, and the enforcement
of the hated law will give ihe
government some very lively and
difficult work.
The discontent in the Tory ranks in
England is intense and daily growing
stronger. It has transpired that the
withdrawal of several of the Ministers
from the Cabinet was prevented only
by Salisbury's threat of dissolving
Parliament, and that he -went so far in
his surrender to the Liberal-Unionists
as to place more than one portfolio at
their disposal.
Thk announcement comes from
Rome that the final decision of the
Pope regarding the Ivnights of Labor
is that there is no ground for interference
with them by the Church so
long as they remain faithful to their
religious obligations. This determination
is fully confirmatory of the
action originally taken at Rome during
the visit of Cardinal Gibbons.
The Democrats oi Maryland give
the President and his administration
an emphatic endorsement. Thev are
qiite as enthusiastic as their brethren
in Ohio. The Maryland resolutions
are greatly to be commended in that
they also urge a reduction of taxation
as the first duty of the Democratic
. House of lteprasentatives. Thus far
? there is harmony all along the line.

his position as the leader of an intrigue
to secure the co-operation of a large
number of general officers in an uprising
in favor of a monarchy. The
story is evidently devised to injure
the ex-minister of war in the estimation
of the Republicans of France.
The French Government evidently
has no great confidence in the contention
of peace. Gen. Ferron, minister
cf war, has asked for more troops and
the Senate has passed a bill providing
for the increase of the army by eighteen
regiments of infantry and four
^ regiments of cavalry. It will be in
order for Germany to inquire what
this is for, unless, it has grown tired of
asking such questions.
John Sherman is begging the Ohio
Republicans for au endorsement?any
sort of an endorsement. His Cincinnati
organ declares that a mild one
will do, but even if he could commit
the Toledo Convention to bare tolerance
of his pretentions his case has
become hopeless. He was never popular,
and his Springfield speech was
as great a blunder as his patronage of?
Eliza Pinkston.
The Queen's refusal to accept the

The North is as easily offended by

This is not altogether correct. The I
Globe is slightly mistaken as to the j
attitude of the "magnanimous North"
on this question. That community is
and has always been perfectly willing
to introduce the aforesaid equality at
the South. Offense is taken only when
the thing is brought home. We admire
the candor of the Globe, but still
we think it were -well to state the
matter correctly.

stocks. The Act of Congress of March
3, 1S7S, restricted tlie ownership of
real estate in Territories to American
citizens and forbade aliens holding
real property or any interest therein
within the Territories. It was claimed

that this Jaw prevented aliens

President referred the matfcr to the i
Attorney-General, whose reply draws
the distinction between the ownership
of realty in mineral or other lands and
fcolcliug stock or shares or even leases
which are personal property. The
distinction seems so obvious that it is !
strange that any confusion on the subject
should have arisen. The public ;

The One stumbling; ujock.
At a time when our colored friends
are persistently putting forward and
urging with much logic their claims to
equal legal and social recognition with
the while man, it is lamentable to note
fkof *) ><% enms nf fhf>. ranin?T
VUciU wviiiviv v - ? ? it c?
of white women by negroes discovers
no abatement. It seems impossible to
stamp out the brutal indulgence of
sexual passion from a race that in
almost all other characteristics is proving
itself worthy of the highest rights
of citizenship.
Two scoundrels were strung up for
this offense in Georgia and Virginia on
AVcdnesdav bv infuriated mobs, but
the hideous instinct seems to yield
neither to the terrors of lynch law in
the South nor to the influence of
climate and good order at the North.
AVe have just as many cases in the
Middle States of outrageous assaults
by negroes upon white women as in
the Southern tier,
It is but just to say that such crimes
meet with the same abhorrence and
detestation, and often with tlie same
swift retribution, from respectable
colored men as from respectable whites,
but the frequency of their commission
and ihe unprpvailing effect of condign
punishment form the one great stumbling
block to as full and complete an
p.maneiDation of the neirro from preiu
dice as he lias obtained from slavery.

Bucket-Shop aud Board Gambling.
Information comes that the Chicago
Board of Trade has "started in on a
crusade against the bucket-shops."
It has started in on a great many crusades
of this kind without producing
any permanent eftect. Laws have
been enacted to suppress the shops,
but in vain, probably for tho reason
that the public fails to see any marked
difference between the character of
much of the Board's business and that
of the bucket-shops.
Bucket-shop gambling is bad enough,
but it is less detrimental to the community
than Board of Trade gambling.
It does not interfere with the natural
course of trade and place artificial
prices 011 the necessaries of life. It
does not do just enough real business
to invite people who care for their
reputations to gamoie uncier cover, n
does not lure bank officers into losiag
millions of other people's money,
however il may tempt the smaller fry.
Bucket-shop gambling is but a reflex
of the semi-masked evil of the Boards
of Trade upon which, iu fact, it bases
its existence.
Eeports of prices bet upon in the
boards become public property when
they leave the board room, aud the
effort to keep telegraph companies
from sending them to bucket-shops
that will pay for the service will doubtless"
fail. This is what the Chicago
Board is trying to do.?JV. T. World.

BLOODY DEED OF A CHILD.
V Sevcn-Year-Old Colored Girl Beats a
Bal?y to Death.
A special to the JSews and Courier
Torn Greenville, dated July 25, says:
Dn Lawrence Fowler's place, aoout
fourteen miles from this city, two
icgro families lived near together, the
[ludsons and the Typings. On Satur!av
morning the two mothers of these
amilies went off on an all-day visit.
Chey came back about sundown and
bund that Georgiana Hudson, aged
ibout seven years, had killed the
roungesfc Typing child, a baby one
rear old. All the children told the
story of the deed. When the Typings'
nother had left her place Georgianna
-vent there and carried the two Typing !
ihilcfren up to her mother's house. For
;ome reason, which the children could .
lot explain, Georgianna became engaged
with the baby and killed it,
jeatiug it 011 the head'with a stick and 1
ubbing sand in its eyes and ears.
Chen, as if conscious of the enormity
)f the deed, she cai/ied the body to "a
veil and threw it in. She next seized
mother, Typing's child, a boy of five
rears, and beat him fearfully, taking
1 latch from the door as a weapon.
She then tried to throw him in the
veil, but iie resisted vigorously and
;he failed to overpower him. AVheu
luestioned she said that she would
iave killed him too, but "lie kicked."
Trial Justice Voydcn held an inquest .
esterdav, in which the preceding facts ;
vcrc developed. The mother of the
nfant murderess testilied that she has
ilways been an incorrible girl and very !

doubtless they will find s, place in
many other scrap books:
From the quickened wombs, of the primal
gloom,
The sun rolled bleak and bare,
'Till I wave him a vest for his Ethiop
breast,
Of the threads of my golden liair;
And wren the broad tent of the firmament
Arose on its airy staiis,
I penciled the hue of its matchless blue
And spangled it round the stars.
T minted the flowers of Eden's bowers.
And their leaves of living green,
And mine were the dyes in 1;ne smless eyes
Of Eden's virgin queen.
And -when the fiends art on <l;e trustful
heart
Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the silvery spere of the first born tear
To the l/cmbling earth I fell.
When the waves that burst o'er a world
accursed,
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the Ark's own few, the tried and true,
Came forth amongst the dead,
Witn the wondrous gleams of my bridal
I bade, their terrors cease,
As 1 wrote on the roll of the storms dark
scroll.
God's covenant of peace.
Like a pa 1 at rest on a senseless breast,
Night's funeral shadow slept,
When.shepherd swains, on Bethlehem's

Their lonely vigils kept,
When I flashed on their sitjlir, the heralds
U1I?110
Of Heaven's redeeming plan,
As they chanted the morn of a Saviour
b?rn
Joy, joy to the outcast man.
Equal favor I show to the lofty and low
On the just and unjust I descend,
E'en the blind, whose vain spheres roll in
darkness and tears,
Feel my smile, the best smile of a friend,
Nay, the flower of the waste by my love is
embraced
As the rose in the garden of kings,
At the chrysalis bier of the worm I appear,
And lo! the gay butterfly wings.

the interview: .
"Will you describe the knocking on
Mr. Lockaby's house?"
"I visited the house in company
with Mr. Jesse F. Cleveland and two
otner gentlemen oue evening iui- iue
purpose of investigating the rappings
which had so much disturbed! the occupants
of the house, Mr. and Mrs.
Lockabv. The building is a log house
having the cracks lined on the outside
with sheeting plank. We had been
there but a short time, Mr. Lockaby
and his wife retired, when fte heard a{
gentle rapping on the middle of the
wall opposite the bed upon which Mrs.
Tnnkaho was lviiio\ After short i :a
tervals the knocking was repeated
with greater force, another interval
when it was repeated with so much
force that it jarred the house, and the
noise could have been heard three
hundred yards or more. Then it gave
a long stroke, apparently beginning
near the top of the wall and making a
violent scrape downward, like some
one scraping the floor with his foot
when he wished to make as much fuss
as possible. In about five minutes
came heavy blows against the wall,
jarring the whole house. A short in
tervals the knocking was repeated
three or four times. The Tappings
were kept up a short intervals, interspersed
with a noise like some one
sawing a plank rapidly with a coarse
saw. This continued until about two
o'clock, a. m."?Pickens Sentinel.

It is generally supposed that sorghum
makes a good green food for
cattle ond horses. A colored man
near Gaffney City had a calf that got
out of the posture and attacked a sorghum
patch. In a short time after
eating it became sick, swelled up and
died in a day or two. He cut it open
and found the leave5 impacted in the
first stomach and as dry as cured fodder.
He says that he has heard of
other cattle becoming very sick from
eating sorgnum.
( Aiken Journal anil Jlccietc.)
The insinuating remarks made by
some members of the press of the
State in reference to Judge Pressley's
action in continuing the case against
Mr. George Johnstone, of Newberry,
are certainly uncalled for. Had the
Judge- remained quiet and heard the
case, and bad the prisoner been acquitted,
the fact of his relationship to
the defendant might have been brought
out later, aud these same fault-finders
would doubtless have been among the
first to condemn the Judge for not
doing the very thing he has just done.
In our opinion the Judge acted wisely.
In behalf of iustice it is always better
to have an*impartial -Judge presiding
when a murder case is being tried.

We failed to get any rain in the immediate
vicinity of Camden from the
7th to the ISth nit., and during that
time the hottest weather of the year
has prevailed. As a consequence the
gardens have been ruined and the field
crops materially damaged. In some
places the corn has been parched up
by the intense heat and killed, while
in other fields it has been cut short
considerably. The cotton fields have
also suffered a good deal by the parch
ing ancl tnrowins: on 01 leaves anu
forms. Ko one seems to be able to
recall any year in which so much damage
was done to the crops in so fihort a
time. The drought-stricken area does
not seem to be very extended, as good
rains fell in northern Kershaw and
portions of West "Wateree on the 11th.

laying the blame on the tendency to
adhere to the old methods of cultivating
the soil, and to a ruinous credit
system among farmers." The old
method must necessarily be the, common
way, if by the old method is
meant a lack of fancy machinery and
high-priced fertilizers, and the credit
system is more of an effect than a
cause. Of course new ideas and
methods are good, but old fashion
work and common sense go a long
way. The great mistake of the farmers
is not raising their home supplies,
and after this what hinders their sucfv>cc
is nn ailmp.nt that more or less I
affects the Southern people generally
which when reduced to its last analysis
is regular old simon pure?ante
belluni laziness.

Primus Jones Tells the Secret of Getting
the First Bale of Cotton.
(Atlanta Constitution.)
"There is no secret at all about it.
It is the simplest thing tn the world.7'
The speaker was the Hon. Primus
Jones, the lamous "first bale" man,
and he referred to the work of getting
up the first bale.
"In the first place, I guess I am the
hardest worked white man in Georgia.

less sleep, probably, tban any man
similarly situated. I get up at three
or half-past three every morning, and
from that time until night my men
and I are hard at work. I use the
intensive system of farming, and believe
in it thoroughly. In the first
place I plant very early, taking considerable
risk in doing so. I manure
my land heavily, and work it rapidly.
I always save the seed of my first
picking, and that helps.
"I have three hundred acres of that
early cotton. Everything that can be
done to force the cotton?that is everything
in the way of manuring and
working?is none. Then as the bolls
begin to open, I pick the firsj; and in
that way make up my hale. Of course
I have to go over a large area in order
to get the cotton so early, taking a boll
here and a boll there as I find them
matured. That's all there is in it."
"How often have you been the firstt.
~ 1 ~
unit; man:
"With the exception of three years,
I think I have had the first bale every
year since the war."
Mr. Jones went on to say that three
years ago he was working eighteen
ploughs and found that he was not
making monev. lie cut down the <
number to eight ploughs aud has done
since done the same work with that
number. He now averages twenty
bales of cotton and two hundred i
bushels of corn to the plough, besides
raising oats, peas and potatoes in .
abundance. If the good weather con- '
tinues. he expects to average twenty- j
five bales and three hundred bushels

watermelons are famous, as a number I
of member? of the Legislature and j
other friends -will attest. . <
"It used to be said," remarked Mr. k
Jones, "that auy fool could make a 1
farmer. I believe it takes a man of
brains to make a success at farming or
anything else."

For m&ny years my wife had been
the victim of ncrr?iu dyspepsia, of the
chronic, distressing and apparently in
curable type from which so many of her
c.zx suffer, languish and die. It was all
the worse because the tendency to it
was inherited. She luul been under the
systematic treatment of many of the
best physicians in New York andBrooklyn
and elsewhere for twenty years with
only temporary relief. In fact, there
were few, if any, kinds of food that did
not distress her, so diseased, sensitive
i * i 11 ~c
ana torpiu were an me organs 01 uigcation.
The usual symptoms of dyspepsia,
with its concomitant ailments, were
all present?had taste in the mouth,
dull eyes, cold feet and hands, the sense
of a load upon the stomach, tenderness
on pressure, indigestion, giddiness,
great weakness and prostration, and fugitive
pains in the sides, chest and back.
I have often risen in the night and administered
stimulants merely for the
sake of tlie slight and transient relief
they gave.
Intermittent malarial fever set in,
complicating the case and making
every symptom more pronounced*and
intense. By this time the pneumogastric
nerves had become very seriously
involved, and she had chronic
Gastritis, and also what I may be allowed
to call chronic intermittent malarial
fever all at once. For the latter
the physicians prescribed the good, old
fashioned, sheet-anchor remedy, Quinine
gradually increasing the doses, until
?incredible as it may seem?she actually
took thirty grains a day for
days in succession. This could not
last. The effect of the quinine was,
if possible, almost as bad as the twofold
disease which was wearing away
her strength and her life. Quinine
poisoning wa* painfully evident, but
the fever was there still. Almost every
day there came on the characteristic
chill and racking headache, followed
by the usual weakness and collapse.
About this time I met socially my
friend Mr. Norton, a member of the
firm of Chauncev Titus & Company,
KrnVprc nf A!!?inv. who. or> hfsrinor
from me these facts, said: " Why, I
have been through almost the same
thing, and have got over it." u What
cured you?" I asked eagerly. " Kaskine,"
lie said, u try it for your wife."
Ihadseen Kaskine advertised, but had
no more faith in it than I had in sawdust,
for such a case as hers. Mrs.
TLT-11 1 3 1*1. - ' ! _
xauu iiuu no iiigucr opinion, yetonine
strength of my friend's recommendation
I got a bottle and began its use
as directed.
Now recall what I have already said
as to her then condition, and then read
what follows: Under- the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
showed instant improvement, and the
daily fever grew iS-; and soon ceased,
altogether. Side In' ;hese diseases
vanished. ?< sidi* <: rh^r tnrf.
ured their victim for ten years?the
dyspepsia alone having, as I have said,
existed for twenty y .-.irs. Her appetite
improved from w-.*e!c to week until she
could eat and digot the average food
that any weli per.-, m ta!. js, without any
suffering or inconvenience. With reifin::
<?f /-innr* nt
course, a stead;- i:i;:re;i:>e in flesh, until
she now looks like her original self.
She still takes K.iskine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is
well. I consider this result a scientific
miracle, and the " New Q.iinine " is en
titled to the credit of it, for from the
time she began with Kaskine she used
110 other medicine whatever.
If you Chink a recital of these facts
calculated to do good you are welcome
to make them public.
