?iv' ~;5y UNCLE LEM'S POTATIONS. His Beasons for Suspecting the Doctor of Being a Prohibitionist. A few nights since Col. 0. C. King delivered an excellent speech before the ilor- ( oi/itroianH ?r>r? Thnrman Club. IfOW/VtU writes a ilorristown, Tenn., correspondent of the Courier-Journal. To illustrate the be fallacy of the Republican charge that the c* Democrats are free traders, because they ai want to reduce the tariff, he told the fol- tri lowing anecdote of the doctor's experience co with his patient, Uncle Lem Austin: iu "But," the Republican orators say, "the an Democratic policy of reducing the tariff is mi a step toward free trade; we are opposed ne to free trade, and therefore oppose any- se thing that tends in that direction." This sort of talk reminds me ot old of Uncle Lem Austin's excuse for declining to reduce the number of drinks he was bi taking daily. w Uncle Lem bad been a free drinker for a long time. At last it began to tell on him. E Be became sick and sent for the doctor. w The doctor came, examined him, inquired ^ as to his symptoms, felt his pulse, looked is at his tongue, sounded his chest, etc. a Having, he supposed, suitably impressed tr the old man, he said: "Uncle Lem, I am ti afraid you are drinking too much whisky, w and it is proper that I should say to you u that vour trouble i s caused almost solely b by the excessive use of intoxicants." 11 The old man did not seem to be at ail r' surprised, but replied promptly: "Well, h Doc, I wouldn't be surprised if you wan't 0 more'n half right 'bout that." b "How much do you drink a day, Unci*- v Lem?" inquired the doctor. b "Well, I don't hardly know, Doc," re 1 plied the old man. "Let me see. I take 1; a drink afore breakfus', and one arter < breakfus', and two 'twixt breakfus' an' ? dinner, and one afore dinner. How man} 's 1 that?" "Five," replied the doctor. 1 "An'one arter dinner." 1 "Six." 1 "An' two 'twixt dinner and supper." 5 "Eight." < "An' one afore supper." ( ? 1 "An' one arter supper." ] "Ten." "An' two 'twixt supper an' bedtime." "Twelve," said the doctor. ! "Well, them's about my daily rations, Doc." "That's too much liquor, Uncle Lent. You can't stand it; it will kill you. Now, I suggest that you curtail the amount. It won't do to quit off entirely. It would prostrate you. But you could reduce the number of drinks, say a third, and after awhile make another reduction. Now, suppose you drop off the two drinks between breakfast and dinner and the two between dinner and supper at first, unci begin the reformation in that way." Urcle Lem held his head down and reflected a moment; then loking up and fixing his bleary eyes on the doctor, said: "See here, Doc; blame my cats if I don't sorter b'leeve you're one o' them probibitioners, an' I'm agin prohibition, tooth and toe nail. Now, this here propersishun o' vour'n looks to me mighty like a step in ia tbe direction of prohibition, an' I ain't agwine to take it; durn my skin ef I do; I'll die fust." m ? How They Decided ItThere were once twelve Normans who traveled together, not one of whom had ever seen the sea. One day they came to a field spread with bleaching linen and concluded it must be the blue water. 1'Brothers," said they, "we must swim across." Removing their garments and making bundles of them, which they bore on their heads, they took hold of each other's hands and commenced wading through. First they counted their party. "You and I are one, he and the other two, and so on," said they, but no one could enumerate more than eleven this way. Thinking that one of their party had dropped out and would join them later they crossed the sea of linen and again proceeded to the enumeration. They were still unable to find more than eleven, though each one tried, ''You and I are one," etc. Finally one of them said, "Brothers, I have it. We will take twelve clods of dirt, and each one stick his nose in his own clod. If there aro twelve noses each clod will be used." This plan succeeded, and they found themselves twelve in numbe.?F. S. Bassett in Globe-Democrat. A Sensation in Sumter Politics. Sumtek, Nov. 1.?Considerable interest was manifested this afternoon while the county executive committee discussed the independent movement here in reference to the election for county sheriff. It was currently reported on the streets that the present sheriff, who was defeated at the last primary election, would run as an in- j dependent candidate. When the commit- J tee met a sub-commit tee was appointed to wait upon Sheriff Sanders and request his presence before the county executive board. When asked whether he was an independent candidate, Mr. Sanders replied, no; but on being requested to sign a pap^r that he would not serve if elected as such, he positively refused, and immediately handed in his resignation as member of the CouDty Board of Commissioners for the general election. The opinion of the committee is confirmed in Mr. Sanders' declaration that he will be an independent candidate n ne is not one now. Mr. Rhame was selected to fill the vacancy, and Mr. Sanders's resignation was forwarded to the Governor. Not An "Independent." Mr. Marion Sanders of Sumter publishes the following card in the Advance of this morning: A statement having appeared in the Sumter Correspondence of the Columbia Register to the effect that there is an Independent movement in Sumter County in my interest as a candidate for Sheriff, I desire to say that such statement is not true. My friends were naturally disappointed in my not receiving the nomination, but the regular nominee of the Democratic party is;my candidate; I intend to vote for him; have advised my iriends to do the same and have discouraged all opposition to his election. My record as a Democrat and my unfaltering loyalty to tEe party in all its conflicts and trials since 1876, ought to be sufficient to discredit all statements to the contrary." A Political Fisticuff. Sumter, Nov. 1.?a political fisticuff too? place today between Col. Joseph II. Earle and Mr. H. R, Thomas, of WedgeSeid. It appears that Mr. Earle and Mr. Tnomas got into a conversation about an i.ricle in the Sumter Advance referring to ' -ol. Earle as "a very slippery fish, a veritable eel." and Colonel Earle called Mr. Thomas a liar, and high words passed, and :Ley finally came to blows. They were t^.en arrested and put ap their money, and Mr. Earle went into ar. office close by, Mr. "'hnrrtAs remainfnfr in flip street, in frnnt. nt the court house. A few minutes afterward Mr. Earle was seen coming at Mr. Thomas with an uplifted stick. When he reached Mr. Thomas he struck at him with the stick, and Mr. Thomas caught the blow on nis hand. They were then separated, and Mr. Earle's friends carried him off. Great excitement prevailed and several tights have followed. Order is now restored and all is quiet.?Special to News and Courier. m Fined 825 for a Fisticuff. Sumter Nov. 2.?This morning the cases against Mr. Joseph H. Earle and Mr. H. R. Thomas for fighting, creating a disturbance and violating the city ordinances, was brought before the Mayor. In answer to the mavor's question as to whether he was guilty of the offences or not, Attorney General Earle said that he was sorry that tneanair naa to nappen, out mat unae* similar circumstances the law would be likely to be violated again. and that he had nothing to say in his defence; that he was the aggressor and that Mr. Thomas simply defended himself, that in consequence of certain words written or spoken by Mr. Thomas he struck him, and thus was the aggressor. In consequence of these statements the mayor found Mr. Thomas not guilty of the charges and fined Mr. Earle twenty-five dollars. The weather here is very warm which is somewhat strange for November.?Special to News and Courier. AIDING THE NEGROES. >w Mr. Hand's Oit't to the Colored People ' " of the South Will Be Expended. (From ;he Charleston World) The recent munificent bequest made by :. Daniel Hand, of Connecticut, for the ' nefit of the negroes of the South, edutionally and otherwise, will no doubt do ! rreat deal toward elevating the race gen- m illy iu thiis part of the South, and the 111 lored people of Charleston should come m for a good share of the benefit, as there <Jr e a L'reat many deserving, ambitious sh embers of the race in this city who on'y tu ed the means in order to bring them- ar Ives up to an educational and intellectual be oting with their more favored brethren Se the North. jn The following from the New York Trime gives a good idea of the. manner in ja hich the money will be expended: "The establishment of the 'Daniel Hand . ducalional Fund for Colored People,' ith a gift of a million dollars, is an event ^ hich deserves commemoration. Mr. Hand f au aged resident of Guilford, Conn., but " large part of the fortune which he is disibuting so munificently during his life- tl me was acquired in business in the South, lc here he obtained that knowledge of i he a eeds of the colored race which is now earing fruit so philanthropicalJy. It is ti npossible to mention Mr. Hand without u ^calling another remarkable deed of which e was the beneficiary. At the outbreak e f the Rebellion he, a Union man, was in usiness at New Orleans. He made his ray North, leaving all his property in the iauds of Geo. W. Williams, his confiden- ^ iai clerk and personal friend. Mr. Wil iains took such goud care of the interests * onfided to him that the value of the prop- * :rty increased greatly, and after the war * ie made an accounting by which a hand- t iomc fortune -was t urned over to Mr. Hand, ? vho, in the hands of a less upright agent, 1 would probably have recovered nothing i roOLi his Southern estate. Thus it will be f seen that he is now returning to the South < .he gift he received thence, and in the j character of his benefaction he Las sought 3 :o st cure the greatest good to the greatest , number. "In making the American Missionary ' Association ot this city the trustee of this ' splendid gift, Mr. Hand, has evidently ' been intluenced by the consideration that 1 this society already controls a machinery which is peculiarly adapted to the work in hand. As the giver desires that the colored people 'in every Statein which slavery was established by law in 1801' shall be entitled to partake of the benefits f>f the fund, it is evident that an elaborate administratrative mechanism would have to be created had not the idea of employing a system already iu existence occurred to Mr. Hand. It is, moreover, one of the special functions of the Missionary Association to gather information as to the deserving poor, and ??---? 1 -!a nt (1?. .(V, especially me coiurcu [jcu^ic u.<, mo The choice of this agency, therefore, has the advantage of securing the m-!St cconomical and at the same time prudent and intelligent use ol the fund, and the extraction l'rom the gift of the greatest possible good. Mr. Hand has guarded the distribution of his money by a few broad conditions in no way calculated to hamper or interfere with the judgment of the administrators. No doubt he is wisely anxious that his gift shall not become a source of weakness to the beneficiaries by diminishing their inducements to help themselves, aud therefore he restricts the outlay to $100 in any individual case. This is probably a very prudent provision. "The income of the capital turned over to the Missionary Association will be sufficient to do a great deal of good. Naturally the intention is tc seek out the most ambitious, intelligent and energetic colored people and assist them educationally anu otherwise. A large latitude is givcQ association and there does not danger of difficulties as to the construction of the deed of gift. The news of this magnificent gift to their race ought to be rei... ceivea wim graieiui sausiuunuu uj me colored people of the South, aud it is to be hoped that one of. the effects will be to rouse in them a determination to deserve such munificence by proving their. ability to profit by it." The License Trouble. That is a startling coDditiou of things in Charleston, which results in seven tee a reputable citizens being lodged in jail under sentence for non-payment of fines imposed for carrying on business without first taking a city license. It is manifest that behind tiie apparent stubbornness of these men there is something more than a mere determination to resist the enforce mentof an obnoxious system of raising revenue. There must be, in the first place, the earnest conviction that taxation tinder the guise of liceuse fees is wrong, because it is unfair to those^ whose capital is invested in business or who conduct any business on their own account?while the capitalist evades the burdens of taxation by omitting to disclose all his property to the tax-levying authority. But if this couviction is really as strong as is indicated by ' fKa Hiifciiilrinor tflvnfl\v?rQ I LUC UUUlfiC VI LJLZt. U&lUulbtUQ vu.. there must be more than this to induce the course of action upon which they have deliberately determined. The men who make uartyrs of themselves, in this day and generation, are, as a rule, fanatics, or they are couscious of strong public sentiment in their support. The gentlemen who have been jailed in Charleston are, we rather suppose, not of the fanatical ojder. They are conscious that in their tight against the license system they are sustained by quite a large body of their feilow-citizens?as well by many who, to ayoid annoyance, have paid their licenses, as by those "who have refused to pay. Such a state f f feeling, however small in comparison may be the body of citizeas who share it, is not conducive to the strength or the efficiency of the municipal government. That government is a poor one indeed to which obedience comes only from fear of the sheriff, or the jail, or the penitentiary. The city authorities in Charleston will learn this sooner or later. They ought to know it now. It may be proper to add that The Record is opposed to the esac tion cffees for licenses to carry on business, because it legards that method of raising revenue us unequal, arbitrary smd oppressive, and as involving an evasion by the municipal authority of the responsibility of laying taxes on property to tbe full extent necessary to support the government.. Of this, more hereafter.?ColumI b:'a Record, Nov. 3. The Corpse 'Jnses Reviewed. ! The celebrated corpse trust case, which ! made; uch a sensation in Charleston last year, has again been brought to pabiic notice. It will be remembered that a conspiracy was formed among a number of whites and negroes, by which certain life insurance companies in New York and the West were swindled out of i thousands of dollars, the consiprators insuring fictitious persons and passing off corpses procurred from the potter's field as the deceased personages. The United States Mutual Accident insurance company, of New York, exploded the game by the help of a Pinkerton detective, aud five of the conspirators were sent to the penitentiary. The case has been reopened by a suit instituted by the heirs of fat Forley, who killed himself sometime before the exposure of the conspiracy and who is suspected of having been concerned in the conspiracy. Forley shot himself accidentlaly, it is claimed, while out gunning. His life was inRrirpd for ;Sn_000 earth in the National Alliance company and the Security I Mutual Benefit Company, both of New York. Pending a settlement of the policies, the evidence in the corpse trust case connected Foley with the conspiracy and the companies refused to settle. The heirs of Foriey have brought suit to recover the policies from the coinpa xiies named and shoxild the case come to trial some new developments in this remarkable conspiracy are expected. A Frenchman spent ten years of his life to invent, a noiseless clock, aDd when he had succeeded nobody would buy it. "Msmm.i " said a little five-year-old. as his mother was giving hira a bath, "be sure and wipe me dry, so I won't rust.'' "Yes," he said, "before marriage 1 thought I could live on love, but I am now living on my father in-law." HUDSON'S BAY PEOPLE. ? jsii'y l.'fi- of tlie Eskimo "Who Dwell I] N??:ir th?

In the summer each family lias its *5i homo, but in winter two or more milies live together fur the sake of in used warmth ;uid economy of fueL ^ ie summer residence is a tent made of ulskins with the 1 lair scraped off, giving ucli the appearance of yellowish parchent, which is stretched over poles of iftwood airanged in the ordinary cone ape.

As they sleep with head point- ? g doorward, they necessarily lie down c: ill, owing tot'ie natural slope of the ft nd toward the shore. This does not 0 em either a comfortable or healthy potion, but apparently they are none the orse for it. On either side of the door- o ay is tlu'h* larder, consisting of exceed- \ igly repulsive looking piles of seal meat g ad blubber, which give forth an odor , lat Samson himself, with his hair at its >ngest, could hardly nestle with sue- c issfuily, so overwhelming is its strength.

The build- 1 rs begin by marking out on the snow a ircle about fifteen feet in diameter, ] rhicli represents the inner side of the ( rails, and with a saw or long bladed :nife they cut out blocks of snow, from hree to six feet long by a foot thick and 1 tigh, from inside the circle they have 1 narked; then, placing the blocks around he circle, they carry the walls up spirilly (not in tiers), until they meet in a :eystone above, at a distance of about line feet from the excavated level of the loor. The result is, except, of course, aa a color, the production of a gigantic bee live, over the door or in the center of the roof of which is set a big block of fresh water ice to serve the purpose of a winIcw in lighting an interior that, although stainless white at first, is soon blackened by the ever smoking, evil smelling lamps the inmates use. The furniture of these human hives is very simple, as may be readily supposed. It consists of a bed place or divan along the side of the "igloo," opposite the door, ~~'1 rvno r>n either hand as ttliU l>>v v/ 111 Vj/iuvwj WV ... ? _ you writer. These are made of firmly packed snow, and raised al>out three feet aliove the floor, the divan having its outer edge faced with a pole to prevent it from crumbling away when used as a seat in the day time. The beds are made up in the following manner; First, a layer of moss spread over the snow; next, a layer of sealskins; then a layer of bear or deerskins, and finally the sleeping bags, which resemble exaggerated pillowslips, only that fur takes the place of linen, and the fur is double, so that there may be hair both inside and outside. Into these bags, of which each adult has one, the Eskimo, stripped to the bare bull, creeps fcr the night, and sleeps very comfortably. Up to the age of 10 the children share their parents' bag; after that tnev are promoted to having one of their own. Their fires are nothing more than lamps rudely fashioned out of soapstone, and so arranged as to be self-supplying, a mass of blubber being hung in such close proximity to the flame that the fat is converted into oil, which, dripping into the bowl below, is consumed by means of a moss wick. As the lamp has no chimney, and both oil and wick are of the poorest, the result is the reverse of brilliant, neither light nor heat being obtained in what we wouJd consider a satisfactory quantity. Just above the lamps a sealskin is stretched to prevent the heat thawing the roof away, a precaution that seems hardly necessary, seeing that the ordinary temperature of these snow huts is 27 (legs, at the root and 24 degs. at the level of the beds; in other words, from 5 to 8 degs. below freezing j>oint. In order to keep out as much cold aa possible, the doorways are very low and narrow, a fact which explains the curious phrase with which the hosts speed theii j* pari ing guests, namely: ' 'Talxmrke aperniak in atit"?that is: "Good-by; don't bump your head."?J.

While some have been taken in under Dromises and expectations which have not been fully realized, the most of them are elegant men, good and true. They liavs a long time heard of Winnsboro as a grand old town; they remember that Sherman said he found a silver mine here, and are now all agog with anticipations of their visitation. The noble women of Winnsboro propose to take these men to their homes, as guests for six or seven days, and wish ' to sustain their reputation. While SlKrman took away most of their silverware, he did not get it all. What remains is a little tarnished, but can be made a? good as new by an application of TAPPAff'S RELUCEUT, which is used, recommended and sold* to us by one of the largest silverware factories in the Union. Each bottle has full directions for its application.
