Her account of the wrongs endured by the Metlakahtlans created great interest. The admission of the prohibition organ, the Voice, that there are about ninety bar-rooms doing business openly in Bongar, Me., is a striking illns tration or me iauure ox promuiuim ai its birthplace. Tee contemplated duel between General Boulanger and M. Ferry was to have taken place on Tuesday on the Swiss frontier. M.

The report comes from Chester county that the county will make corn enough to do the population for two years. This is encouraging. IIow about the bacon? There is no necessity to buy a pound when you have plenty of corn to feed hogs. It is stated that Mrs. Frank Leslie has refused the hand of a Bulgarian Prince, preferring .to bean editress than a Princess. Mrs. Leslie is a remarkable woman, and the tact and ability displayed by her in the management of the large publishing house of her husband has perhaps never before been equaled by any woman. Charleston is to have a gala week about the first of October, to be to the "City by the Sea" what the Mardi Gras is to New Orleans.

At this season of the year it will be a serious blow to the prosperity *pf the city, but the indomitable pluck and energy of Augusta's business men will undoubtedly cause her to rise superior to disaster and more beautiful than ever before. It is only at great crises in his life that John Sherman buys a new hat. \Ynen ne was apponueu ^ecreiary 01 the Treasury he astonished his friends by appearing in a brand-new tile. At Toledo, a few days ago, he again caused a sensation by donning a fresh and inexperienced hat, to which lie will doubtless cling until the stress of conflicting emotions drives him once more to find solace at a hatters.Tiie Gladstonian victory achieved by the election of Mr. Trevelyan at Glasgow is felt in conservative circles as the heaviest blow the Unionists have yet experienced. When the result of the election became known in the House of Commons the members deserted their benches and flocked into the lobbies to discuss the matter and its bearing 011 the future. Ths home rule members are jubilant. It is stated that eome wild protectionist Congressman in a recent interview in Washington said that an effort woxld be made by the protectionist Democrats and Republicans to organize the next Congtess 011 that basis by the election of a nrotectionist Sneaker. There is little danger of this, but if an attempt is even made the traitors should be unceremoniously kicked out of the party. A little kicking of this sort just at this time could not result J seriously to the Democratic party any . way. ( Hexky Wattersok has hail his hand read by Ed.

Mr. Bishop is the most (lis- j iiidir;inl writer that Amer- i ,A?inUis*?vv ca has produced. Tiie special report of a committee of J :he grand jury of Edgefield, appointed :o examine into the condition of the public offices o? the county, caused juite a sensation. The nerve displayed by the committee, and the fearlessness and impartiality exhibited in the disof it? dutv. deserves the highest sommendation. It is more in the right direction and willredouud to the bene: Gt of the county. Most of such examinations are conducted in a superficial manner: but the committee in this instance seem to have done their work thoroughly and well. The county commissioners were rasped, the j bonds of several of the county officers rr-rtvrt fnn<r>n wpfik to t>ass inspec tion, and the master was reported as a defaulter. For some time past it has been rumored that the "City by the Sea" would have an evening journal. It is now a settled fact. Mr. John McElree is the proprietor and 'its editorial department will be presided over by Mr. A. ii. William, formerly of the Greenville JS"ews. Its first issue will appear on the 15th inst., and will be styled the Daily Sun. We have received a prospectus setting forth the object of the journal and its price.

Oar enterprising contemporary the JYeics and Courier is equal to the occasion and is now issuing an evening edition for the benefit of its subscribers' who cannot get the morning issue.

The committee is to meet at Chicago 011 November 1G of this year. This early date, more than a year before the national election, is without precedent in our political history. It indicates the determination of the Prohibition party to fight on its own liue, to avoid all entangling alliances, and to avenge itself on the Republican machine for the treachery that has been practiced jomn/iMiK .'> interest in t.V ?

The Culbreath Lynchers. Bill Parkrnan and Wvatt Ilolmes, that sweet-scented pair of "the best citizens of Edgefield," have just been acquitted of the murder of O. T. Culbreath. Tne evidence against them was overwhelming, and their crime was one of unparalleled atrocity, and yet they made no denial other than the formal plea of not guilty. Indeed, they rested upon the strength of the State's case, and posed with shameless arrogance as the "purifiers of society." To what a pass have we come in this nineteenth century? A bold, brutal band of ignorant men, snatch a prisoner from the custody of law, murder him without mercy, and rely upon the venality of that much exalted institution, "a jury of their peers. These men were tried by "tteir peers," there is no doubt on this point. IVar Taxex Forever. This is the motto commended to the Republican party by the Troy Times in tan elaborate leader. It argues, after the Ohio style, 'that the true way to deal with the surplus is to spend it. Of course it would have the money spent "for the benefit of the people," ana it menuons various puonc wuj ks and enterprises for the promotion of which it urges that the excess be appropriated. This is virtually the position taken by Senator Sherman and his Ohio Convention. It is the policy actually pursued by the solid Republican delegation in the last Congress, in voting against even the consideration or the | question of reducing the taxes, while favoring the most extravagant schemes expenditure. The Democratic party is not worthy )f its name if it does not accept this ssue and, antagonize squarely the perpetuation of the war taxes. Its policy shyuld be to stop the surplus, lot to help spend it. The way to 'benefit the people" is to relieve them Vom unnecessary taxation."

Prohibition in Tex a*. The Prohibitionists have been defeated in Texas by an overwhelming majority, and the friends of good government everywhere will find little cause for regret. "We believe in temperance and we aduocate it always, but there is a wide distinction between this and the creed of the Prohibitionists, which formulates the principle that the government may force temperance upon the people by means of legislative enactments. This doctrine is the rankest political I AAMlntMf uvn:s\ ux liiv wiauiii There is a trne relation between government and governed, which it is the business of statesmanship to find out. It is worse than folly, however, to urge this upon an age which has repudiated the guidance of principle and committed the keeping of all things to the majority.

The town of Milford has, by the policy of the railroad syndicates already outlined in these letters, been dried up. A large number of her otfti.o.ViAn:os sfnnrl iirnwiiniwl. her merchants being forced to seek oomo Other channel through which to obtiin ? Hvoiihood. At the time of our arrival our attention was attracted by a large crowd of men colled around one of the stores. We soon learned that l the object of this assembling was to induce a railroad, which was in process uf construction, to come by their town. "Wc were introduced all around as from South Carolina, whereupon one gentleman remarked that when we drove up I was taken for a railroad man, and a Yankee at that. Upon being informed that I had the honor of being an unreconstructed South Carolina rebel, he replied that he was a Pennsylvania Dutchman. The meeting was in due time called to order in a store-room unoccupied, save only by a tonsorial artist, who was busily at work trimming and fixing Ihe young men for their appearance at church the next day?Sunday. Your correspondent remained a siient spectator, but was struck with the number of men in this meeting who had an opinion of their own, and who were in no way backward in giving expression thereto. The meeting resulted in a voluntary assessment or subscription : of five per cent, of the taxable prop erty of all present, uommitiees were I appointed to wait upon others not ! present, and also to submit this proposition to the railroad authorities. This latter trust, although ft involved a ride of some sixty miles by private conveyance, was promptly accepted 1 bv the committeeman thus honored. Oar stay here was rendered exceed-11 Ingly pleasant by the kindness shown 1 ns by the old Carolinians wh? here \ ' I have their homes?notably among !! whom we will mention Dr. McFadden, ; Mr. Ellison, and our kind host, Mr. j Tom Dickson. These gentlemen, with '< their families, contributed so kindly and cleverly to our wants that we i took leave' of them, feeling that we : were parting irom inenas inueeu. >ve ; also had the pleasure of here meeting Mr. Jas. B. Mobley, a former citizen of our count)', and from my own sec- : tion. Although equipped with broad- ( brimcd hat, large spurs and a Win- 1 Chester rifle, we had no trouble in j recno-nizinor him as he came ridinfir ud the street, and very cheerfully gave \ him the news from our county,"which he seemed so anxious to hear. He represents the Ellis County Land and Cattle Company, postofflce "Waxa- < hatchie, and would be glad to hear ( from his friends here or serve them in 1 nnv wiiv in his nower. Hiring a wagon, friend Ervfin and j j the writer thus resumed our home- | ward journey. The road, was firm i and smoothers glass, and our spirited i span of horses seemed eager for the i trip. On either hand stretched out the | prairies all covered over with grass about lour inches high and beautiful flowers. The buffalo clover, which is 1 blue, with a crown of white and very t sweet, and the wild verbena, which is t variegated an cojor, reu piuuvuiiua.L- j ing, were most attractive. A soft ^ southern breeze wafted their fragrance \ to us as we passed aK <r and made us i ready to adopt the la ^ aage of a fair 2 Texos writer, and exclaim: "Oh, c beautiful Texas, with thy verdue-clad x] hills and sweet-scented prairie, how I ? love thee!"

We picked up a leaf from c in old day book of 1SS5, and noted f :he prices charged for goods. Calico ^ Evas put at ten cents, tobacco at from \ torty to sevemy-uve cuius, buuiiun au ( jightecn cents. These were t:.me ? prices, and from a store fourteen miles t from a railroad. < We hasten on as we still have a good < distance to make before night, and i Mr. Erwin is anxious to go out of our ] way somewhat and show us a tract of 1 land which he hopes will lit our idea and settle ns in Ellis county. This tract of a thousand acres was unim proved, but is in reality a beautiful J place. The trees were in bunches or clnmps of a dozen or more in a place, ] ami fully a hundred yards apart, while ( the intervening spaces were covered ( aM over with grass. This property is ( held by a Northern man, simply os an j investment; is utilized in no way, but ] no reasonable inducement would make . him agree to let go. A little further , on stood a large church with au enclosed grave-vard extending to and and along the public road. In one corner of this was a plot enclosed with a paling fence and covered over by a mat roof of cypress shingles, all J painted white. Two pretty marble slabs marked the last resting place of . two beautiful young ladies, whose sad ! death causes many a heart pang to the . surviving parent, and who3e tombs standing thus closc by the highway are silent advocates of the prohibition m ( unn: onrifoKllO- fho. Sf.flfft. <.wiiuii u iivii **0* ? These young ladies had just returned home after completing their college course, and were sent into the garret of the dwelling to draw some whiskey from a baarei there stowed. Taking a cardie they proceeded to obey the commands of the father and their opening of the faucet was accompanied by the explosion of the barrel, the house being at once enveloped in in flames, which spread with such j rapidity that the father alone barely escaped from the burning mass. Possessed of abundant wealth he now aimlessly wanders in sadness and solitude, with nothing left for which to live. Passing on, wc soon reach the home of our friend where we rest for the night. In the morning we bid adieu to the kind host and family, aud again set forth to see other places and in guest of further adventure. A run of lour hoars carries us through thriving cities aud towns, the names of which were yelled out by the brakeman in such a manner as to be totally unintelligible to us, and at 11 o'clock we reach Sherman, the county-seat of Grayson county. Rain was falling, and'wc take a seat in the street car, which stood waiting, and thus make our way to the office of Capt. N. C Roberts, whose acquaintance we had made at the meeting of presbyter}*, aud who had furnished us with his business card to enable us to find him. We found him at his desk,- and after talking awhile asked him to recom-^ moid ?

(Marlboro Democrat.) ; On Friday last, as Mr. James A. i IcDaniel was dicing a new well on he placc .which he purchased from ; ten Thompson about three miles be- j 3W town, he discovered a large log bout eighteen feet below the surface ; nd right at the water spout.

The plat of j ground has bee:; cultivated for fifty j 'ears, and Mr. McDaniel is anxious ! or some one to explain how that log ame to get down that far in the i rround. A sample of the wood has j >een brought us by Mr. McDaniel for j ixamiuatioii by the curious. I (LancaxUr Ledger.)

(Grccucille ?Yt;?v.) Owing to a new regulation of the New York cotton exchange on and xfter September 1, 1887, cotton buyers in a!: interior towns will deduct from bale; weighing under 400 pounds .-? :ent per pound; under 350 pounds A ;ent per pound; and packages less Umn 300 nounds arc not considered bales, and are therefore unmerchantable. The dinners and farmers v?*ill do well to note this fact in putting up their cotton. Tney will also find it to their interest to increase the general average of their bales as the heavy weight of bales from the Southwest is, i:i addition to the superior staple, an additional inducement for Northern and European spinners to give their orders to that section . This is an important matter to the- ginners and farmers, and should receive their attention. (Charlotte Chronicle.) The office of the Charlotte Observer was closed up on Tuesday and the business of the office was suspended. Nearly all the printers formerly employed in that office have found employment elsewhere, and several of them have arranged to embark in an enterprise of their own. That office has been in a hard way for several months past, and the failure of the Observer does not seem to create much sarpisc among our people, though expressions of sympathy for Col. Jones are not lacking. The fate of the Obwver is a natural result of the political course pursued by its editor in the past few years, though other causes have contributed to it. (Columbia Jlccord.) During the last Legislature, or the rvim rviwWIimr. a hill was introduced V/UV, |/*vwvv..M0, ? - which wo think passed the House, making it incumbent upon lire insurance companies doing business in this State to pay, in case of total loss by lire, the full amount ot" the policy of the property insured. This bill was sent to the Senate, if we are not mistaken, and, for the want of the proper time ro consider it, it failed to pass that body. Such a law as this, it seems to us, is greatly needed in the matter ot ituriniuru uuu iumucuuoo ui. least. When a residence, for instance, or household property now burns up and is insured for a certain amount, in the majority of catcs the insurance company will oiler a compromise, and fight to the last their duty to pay the policy in full. When apiece of property is offered a com pan v and the oiruor WAlltS tO XllatirC it io 1* U, "-*w>v| amount, and It is so accepted by the company, and they receive tlic premium on said policy, we contend that it is nothing but fair that should that property be destroyed while the policy is in forcc the owner should receive every dollar that it wrs insured for. The agent at the time he issues the policy has every opportunity at his command for ascertaining the true value of the property, and if he fails to do this then the company which he represents can only blame Itself for employing incompetent or careless representatives. It is too late jafler property is destroyed to begin to quibble about the value and to try to prove that it was pr.?bablv not worth more than one-half the amount for which it was insured. This matter can be definitely settled at the time the policy [3 written, and insurance companies should be made to do this. In regard to mercantile establishments this plan would not do, for the reason that thoso dishonestly inclined could lay in a full tock of goods, show their invoice to my insurance agent and take ont insurance upon the stock for a certain sum. The stock could then be run lown, the money pocketed and in caso >f lire the loss be nothing lil^e tno imount insured for. In a case like :his the insurance company is quite right in making the insured prove the imount of the loss before paying. But n regard to dwellings the matter is juite dilferent. Some legislator can mmortalize himself by introducing md working through the next Legisature such a.bill as will make clear he responsibility of insurance compares operating in this State, and thus five relief to the people.

C-.-.-ai 1 !:cekuue<l Without j ii., I live i1 r!ic nniist of the malarial districts of Murvl.md. near the city of Washing ion. :>p.(i am exposed to all the dangerous of tile impure air and water of ::ua region. Being natur.tiiy of a strong consti- i tution. I hud frequent!}" boasted that j 110 chills ant! :Yver or other malarious complaint would ever trouble me. This was my experience and the coni dition in which 1 found myself six ; months aire, i first noticed, that I did I ? j not feel so sprightly and vigorous as | was my wont to do. I felt tired and j enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct j and distressing back :;c!i_v would make [ its appearance in the afternoon, in- j creating in severity if the exercise was more than u>ually violent. Then a stretchy feeling with profuse gaping made its appearance. Then my head, j always clear as a be!!, would feel heavy j and I began to have headaches. The cold stage was marked with chattering of the teeth, severe rigors passed over me, and no amount of clothing could keep me warm. The chill was ens>s*r>r>/lt*A f't-i Kv t!i.. i* : > whirls I seemed to be bnrai-jg up, the congestion in my head | :?a violent pain in the iVimk.u p<>; .;nd a heated sensation or' the ev!M>. with an in. describable aching of :!.e lower limbs. Nausea and \ ii._ occurred with severe retchiai.d .\iien the paroxysms passed. c:f i was throughly pros- i trated by a wcakne.sj that was felt in every part of n;o. I drugged :ny.?'/lf with tjuinine, and j obtained some relief, lint :ny respite j was of brief duration. i was now so i much reduced that I could hardly walk I or stand upright. My disease soon ! culminated in ;; continued malarial fe ! ver which kepi me cio-cly con fined for | about a week I ::e?- i:s:exceedingly j depressed an ". ... oxhoiy. so much so ! that I lost int in w.- work. and. ! * ! indeed, scarce!* cared what happened | to me. . j During a!! thi< time, it must be unj derstood thai I did ik?i :ie-icct medical | treatment. All tiivj most powerful j remedies were tried, mm-'; as !i<;uid ar! senate of potash, valerianic of iron, i mercurv. bromide of potassium, chlo ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchonidia, quinine and several others. Aii this I did under the advice ot" eminent physicians. It was while I was in this deplorable condition that the claims made u.-; Kaskine, the new quinine, as aspcciik for malaria, were lirst brought to lr.v attention. I knew nothing of its value to justify my having any confidence it, but as everything else had failed I deemed it mv dutv to trv it, so I be-ran I . ' * * . .. f . its use, and it-: prompt and raciica: etfects were of the nature of a revelation to me. Many people may think the statement scarcely credible, but it i- a ~ fact that after only a few days' use of Kaskine all the leadir.jj symptom?, in my case were decidedly abated or ceased altogether; and in a few weeks from the time 1 tool; the first dose I was cured. This was about the !lr>t of January, I nnd since flu;. 1 ii.ivi- tvnrnVnrrd nn recurrence of the malar Id symptoms in any form. .A remedy of such exceptional virtue for the rare of malaria ought to be c (>:ir.:e:u!- d and universally made known. I have therefore urged it upon the attention of my Afands, several of whom have used it with like good results in every case, a*d it is with the greatest pleasure and sincerity that I commend Raskin e to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
