This school is to he known ?.s the WmrbroptlXorm;ii" and "IndusTki" Colleze. TDtse two words 'Normal acd Industrial" are the two lode stars which n.?ust guide outpeople out of the wilderness of poverty, ignorance and s'?gaat'O j, which surrounds us. Within th'ir mpomincf lies ol;t oniv hCDS the ooe savs educate; the other ineass work. 1 would not be understood as claiming or intend p ' ing that the women of our 6'ate do net now work, or that they are all ignorant. In fact some years ago in discussing the causes of our depressed financial condition, I made tne assertion?and I stick to it yet?that c.nly ?wo classes of ourpopulation did their due share of work. No observant or fair minded person will deny that our wives and daughters have met the changed conditions wrought by the emancipation of the slaves with much greater success and fortitude than the men, and that they do a much larger portion of work than we do. On the other hand, it is r?nftllTT th'-t +Y\CX hnll" Csf fHo C?[UOJllJI pai^UU bUMV IUV WW1U. V4. Ui>v labor among the colored people is per formed by the men. But to return to the scope and pur pose of the two lines of teaching which we expect to pursue here. We desire to say that we fully realize and un>iestand the great need of better teachers ?teachers trained specifically for that vocation. There are hundreds and thousands of fairly well educated wc^s-_ men in our State, many of whom are are following the noble advocation ci teaching. But the mere possession of KnowieageGoes no. carry wiill il iae power of imparting it, of exciting: emulation, cf making study interesting of training children how to .'think and exercise their reasonin? pov, ers. I have often thought that teachers are born, not made; and we occasionally meet with those who have a genius for im - parting knowledge. But the improved systems which have been adopted in the Wintbrop School, and facility with which all the graduates of that -school obtain positions at more remunerative wages than others of equal education, TT?V?r? Hqt70 r?r\t hoH t q o/3ronto/yco ic UUT V UVV UUU AJ proof that normai trainiEg an absoloute necessity and invaluable. Work which has hitherto beeu done in tbis time, it is our purpose to enlarge and improve on that work, and it will ne our ambition to have such professors and inaugurate such a curriculum as will not only furnish facilities for persons already educated to get this normal training, but to take the young girl fresh from home and carry her ?' through all the classes up to the" high est proficiency in the normal department, conferring degrees lor the van ing degfees of proficiency. There wsil never be any restrictions as to the cum ber of normal students, but we will take all who spply for this special trainicg. But along with the normal, cooper IatedaL dot equal importance, will bthe industrial lealure o: the scbccl. Somebody lonv ago said "knowirdec- is power." In these latter da}S we fjuvr also come to learu that knowledge is rr?rin??v \ T.ri trnocU*ricrf> coupled with skill, backrd by iruius'?y, will insure any woman, however fui gile, absolute exemption irom w^ht and poverty Every latter, who thinks aright, would have his daughter, it throwu on her own rt source, at;i? to earn her own support. Ih-j tff-cs or slavery upon our habits y.Lu custo-as are still plainly visible however. We aic uioiu^uucu ao a CJ vui women leave home to setk their fortunes or enter into industrial life. The const quenc? is that, with t he system or education which has hitherto prevailed, preparing women soltly to a.iorn the drying room and society, our vvomen lave been aitogem* r ht-iplt-ss and our system of education has bet-n a fatal blunder. How many thousands of our women, tenderly nurtured, carefuiiv trained at, the expensive boarding schools, nave found themselves by the death of fathi, 1 er, brother or husband, thrown on tr^eir own resources, left to battle with the cold, hard world by tie loss of their protectors? Every day we come across some of these, and, v.hile an :ncreasir.g number have found positions of laic; years as clerks ia store*, *h'.- vast army have bai no other avenues opm to them except work as seamstresses and in cotton factories. In these latter, owiug^ to the fact tha' the manufacturing iraustries of our State have only developed in the coarser fabrics, their labor has not been very remunerative J and it is only sou^nt as*the dernier re sort, ^anyone wcu aas visitca me ! Northern cities and factories js stiv.ck ! with the painful contrast in the dress, j demeanor, intelligence and evident prosperity oi iiie siiutu ieiiid;e Ktccr compared with that which we 3ee htrs in the South. We can and must change th's. In the industrial cepartment of this college it is cur intention to teach everything and have the students practice every industrial art that will lead I: to ind-tenc'sace. JMnsic will be taught, i bat only a3 f-.n industrial art?in otner words, witti so much proficiency only in sicking ar.d playing as will insure a livelihood. As auornataent it will not be tansjht at all, sod those lacking in spccial talent will not receive tuition in it. Bit. don'c understand me as meaning that we intend only to lit those who eater ibe industrial df-p^rtO,'~r makinc t.hfiir OWn SQDDOrt We will liHve a iaucdrv, where' tae jiirlsdo their own washing :?nd iroDicz.

They will be taught by having them done by the students the&selvts, for we will have no servants except for the drudgery work. All 'he distinctions of wealth wiil be done away with, .fcverv pupil in toe school will be required to wear a uniform and a girl's whole clothing outfit for h year will cost not exceeding $20. I'm getting in deep water here, for I am not altogether skilled in this department, but I know every fathtr and husband will sympathize with our aspirations along this line, and I will simply say as a corollary that I have a daughter oif at boa?ding school who tas bij>-u ?one nearly a >ear. She carrisd cit a b:s? Saratoga trunk full and hrr moiher has sent her so many dresses since she left that she will "have to buy another trunk to get back home with. And we are determined that no girl shall leave the Winthrop College with or bring to it a Saratoga trunk. mere wm oe no cuumuii ur uvauji wc-1 tw^en the normal and industrial department. Iq fictthe normal students will l,e required to take industrial ir.iini!>g in order that we may be able to htt\~h manual training taught by r.; () Wintbrop graduates in our tr^e common schrois, when this feature shall be graited on to our school system, as we bope to see done ere long. Now I'm going to do some very plain railing. While our aspirations and amor ions are all in tbe direction of ti'.'ing women for self-support, boih as V e c.eacber ai d *s followers of industrial avocations, I want it understood bat I, at jras\ am irrevocably opposed o anyhiag bfii-g do' e or tiughr. nere that will tend iu tne slightest d- grr-e to ru>> the nioom off r.be piMCb. God forc:d that tbis acb.-oi sbail ever send forth a wcmaii wco has been unseed. We would bsve tbe clinging. helpless creature *b!e to stand erect ana waiK; we would huve the bird if nectar* uivea wings to tl^ from bom? sick avenues of ind-pe; dence; but never, cev-r, never bave any of me daughters of Soutn Carolina, t'ho shall be~ trained wirhin t: ese wails, by reason of the sTei-?:h and self-respect whio-ti we hope *o impart. nere.r-ecjme other than helpful wives ard h;ippy, self.respectful mo'fcers. Woman's special province in iife is that of a home-maker. Her greatest *rory, bt?r proudest dis'luctJoe, tc.e otj-ct of her creation, in facr, is tnat of motherhood. God's lasf,best gift to man," is associated wunzn in;ii is Dngo<.ess and I'oblest and oest in men's lives. As dau^h vt. sister, sweetheart, wife, mother. sh9 is an inspiration and a solace. As a wife, she doubles man's j05s and halves his sorrows, simply by sharing them; but the holiest, purest most self sscritk-ing love in the world is that of a n other. Ic is to fit women to ba mothers?high, noble, properly rrained mothers, the natural and proper guardians of children?that this seb-jol is founded. We will start it in that putb, etve it the bias and direction to wnich it should be held, and thus best discharge the high duty imposed upon us by those who have placed us in control. Contrast the picture I have drawn of a woman trained in all the domestic arts and economics and some breadwinning occupation; self-reliant and strong, yet withal modest-, self-respecv ing asd iadvli?e, with what we sometimes see, of toner read about?a strong minded, bold, brazen, pert, selr-assertmg female.prating of "woman's rights" man's tyranny and selfishness,the degradation cf Burslng children, and so on adnauscam?the first a picture to flastrate Words worth's noble lines: "She was a phantom of delight, When first she gleamed upon my sight, A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament; iler eyes as stars of twilight fair. Like twilights, too, her dusky hair, But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn. "A creature not toD bright cr good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiies, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tear and smi!es, The reason firm, the temperate will, JEnduraiice, foresight strength and skill; A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command." Of the other I have no lit description, for poets have never sung her praises, but tier position in the estimation or all right thinkiQg men and women can be pretty well set forth in the last line of a piece of doggerel brought home from school a few days ago by my little six year-old daughter, who took great delight in repeating it: "I know a little girl With a litt:e curl Hanging right ctown her roreueaa, When slie is good, the is very, very good. But when she is bad she is horrid." These composite. unnatural, unsexed women, striving to ba like men, and to do like mea, have lost all of the finer graces and charms which have always made m?n the slaves of the sex, arid C:tve gaiued nothing in exchange ?x cept their own morbid self esteem. CHich women are siouply "horrid," and it will be the ambitionand care of all friends or' this College that it shall never send forth aod harbor one of these "horrid" creatures. Every true man nek no-^ledges the existence and p*\s duerespec? to "woman's righ'3." Wordsworth gives her the right to command, ancfaii men since Adam set us the example in obedience, even to do evil, havrf obeyed when the behest Yt CiO iJUCU a ?.l t'.'J >TUUJ(4U Ali Ci MVU1aoly way. The youri? men who will be trained lit Cl-msoa in the manner I have indicated will naturally look higher and set k, anions the students who will fV>c& to Kock 11-11, for their future hripmetts. They are even here now recounoiterir-g the ground, and after Wiutbri'p gets fully under way I thiak that i: ought to be the Oxed policy of the management of the two colleges to have frequent migrations to and fro, tor it win inspire ana neip tne ooys to come here and the tflris will be equally benefitted by an occasional excursion to Cleaas^n. The illUnce is a natural one and the two schools run into each hvr, aid are just as much bone of one boD?>. !l-'Sh of one thsh, as though already (tarried.

KaUrottl Ratnar?. ] The News and Courier, of last Thurs- > day, says it has been a good many years ? since anything like th? activity which 1 has prevailed recently has been manifested in Charleston railroad affairs. ? The interest in the recent sale of the South Carolina Hail way and the mere i recent formation of the South Carolina < and Georgia Railroad Company has, of 1 course, been universal and very absorb- 1 ing. In the llurry which has attended these events'sight has teen pratially i lost of some other mitters which are i of great importance to Charleston. Ke- i cently there ha3 been a good deal of i talk about one company or anotner us- < ing organized to build a road between i Charleston and Augusta. Che first J rutnor of this effect originated In < Augusta. A. disp-ith from that city, ; wtnch was published some time ago in 1 The News and Courier, stated that the i Louisville and Nashville systems h>vi 5 some idea of purcnasicg the Port li,oy- ! al and Augusta Itoad, aad of building < a line from Fairfax to this city. For i a while this scneme wa3 pretty exten- s sivelv discussed, and created con- t considerable comment in more 1 than one section of the coun- c try. Interest in such a project is 1 now very vividly revived by certain ; statements which were nude yesterday 1 The facts given cime from reliable t sources and are worth consideration, t A centleman who did not want his 1 name given, ban w&o said his inf orm a- ( tion was thoroughly reliable, said to a t R-ported: "Were yju a fare that at t 1 his very moment the Atlantic Coas' t L\ue system is engaged in making i preliminary surveys tor aline cf Toad t ber ween this city and August*?

Colored Craok Threatens Instruction of the Pablic itaildinjEs, Washington, May 14?The day in the House was devoted to the consideration of business relating to the District cf Columbia of local interest only. A disturbance was creatrd in the House by the sudden interruption of the even tenor of the proceedings by a burly'negro in the centre gallery arising in his place and shouting: "Mr. Speaker of the House of Representa tives." Instantly the House was in confusion and all eyes were turned upon the new orator in the gallery. The Speaker, who was the first to regain hi3 composure, directed the doorkeeper to remove the offender. The man was of powerful physique, and the doorkeeper was unable to outs him for some time, the negro endeavoring to deliver his alleged divinely inspired message to the effect that tne jLora naa commaaaBu mm uu uume to the Speaker of the House aod order him to pass the Coxey bills. He wa3 finally ejected. The crank's name is Matthew A. Cherry. He is a blacksmith, residing in this city lie insists that he is not insane, but his mind is manifestly unbalanced. When questioned bv3 the Capitol police, he s-dd that unless the "Coxey good roads" bill was passed, there would be a general destruction of government property in Washington. Congress would be given until the 24'h instant to pass tbe bill. If it did not become a law by that time, the public buildings would be destroyed by bomb?. He was arresied by the Capitol police and taken to the guard room ia the b^ement of the cacitol. lie was per fectly tractable and effered no violence. He was retained in the guard roocu about thirty minute3, when he was ISKen 10108 Sixta preciuui. aoawuu. ijsfere entering tbe gallery.

When the crank demanded to see the Speaker, the doorkeeper asked nis business. The crank replied that he desired an audience with -Speaker CrisD. but refused to state for what rea soo/tJpon tbe doork-eper. ajrain s'eroly retusiDg to compiy with His request, tbe crank faced about and went up izi the gallery.

There is *n individuality about cranks and a student of human nature will recognize one at a glance. We have taken every precaution to guard the members ot the House from the violent acUons of tbese people, for a crank is violent when you least expect it. But no precaution can prevent an evil disposed person from coming into the gallery with a destructive weapon m his pocket. During the excitement about the first of the month, we kept an cillcer in citizen's clothes in the gallery, and every suspicious person wa3 carefully watched. It is our rule not to permit persons carrying valises or packages of any description to enter the gallery. IVhere a man is regarded with suspicion, the oflicers keep close to hirn to prevent any overt act. There probably never were so many cranks in Washington as at present and the White House and the Capitol are their storm centres.

' Only Pisp^TR Think His F( b t!On. We append below the comments of the daily papers in South Carolina on the Governor's letter to the Alliance: WILL AROUSE DEEP THOUGHT'Pho (Wnmhia R.ojjisr.flr which a?, all kr;o<v, is a Iteform paper, says: Governor Tiilman's letter to Chairman Mitchell contains matter of interest, calculated to arouse deep thought. That letter is one of the most striking treatises on national politics which has appeared in a long time; by it the power of the Alliance and the r.art it ought to play are mcst clearly set forth. An unthinking reader of that letter might L'ome to the conclusior tbat Governor Tillman and the Alliance were traveling on different paths, but such a conclusion would do violence to the whole tenor of the letter. The difference be ~ 1 ^ .in/1 f Wa A nian/>o i IWCtli tllC U"JVCiuui rtitu uuc iiuiouwo | ire more apparent than real; in aim, a fiop?, in purpose, they are one, and :hey only differ as to how thev shall ieeoajplish the same things?and even n this their variance is but slight, joveruor Tillman tells a plain truth when he says that Alliancemen are argely to blame for the fact that Alliance ideas are not completely in the jsctndant throughout the South. The *ct that the Alliance in this State is n much healthier condition than in my other S:ate is due to Tillman more :han any other man, and this fact is resized by the Alliancemen of other states as well as of this State. While >'jme Alliancemen maybe inclined to :ake exceptions to some parts <?f his etter, they will acknowledge its wislom and ii3 boldness. "A bird in the iaud is worth a dozjn in the bush " and i man is more apt to get a bird in the laiiri 11' hr? /?rmf?f?ntx8tfcs his efforts UDOn I ;h? capture of one bird than if be tries .0 c*tc5 a dozen at once. This is home y philosophy,but it is the philosophy of jrjveraor Tillman's letter and will ?ear testing. While the masses have )teu irviog to s-cure a dozen reforms hey have secured none, and have lever lost ground. Governor Tillman's idvicrtisrhat effort be concentrated ipo:i the task of securiog the most important and the most needed reforms 10 v; th^n when they have heen Drought about, it will be time to tight or otner and less needed reform.,, rhis is practical, hard, common sense, [f tried i?s worth will be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. Governor filloiau has raised a standard under ^h<ch Reformers throughout the iT-iion m*v array themselves and can jt-cuie vic'ory. Tbe stacdard bears :his inscription: "Free silver, more backs and gold?all legal tender ind ail rt-ceivanie for aoy and all dues, public acd private." That is a platform broad enough for i party to siand upon. Success under ;hat standard will not be secured without a struggle, but success can be sejtmd under ic. The above sentence ;xpre3fes the most crying need of the ;>untry today. When that n^d is lone away with, the national reformers can clecde wnat next to fieht for. don't suit tiie democracy. The Columbia State, Conservative, bays: The Governor "readiiy and willinerlv promises" to vote on the lines he has indicated "without regard to any caucus.'' He justifies this by sayiDg that the Northeastern Democrats have set us an example on that line which Will be a sufficient excuse for all time." The Gold i5ug Democrats," he adds, "refused to caucus on the repeal of the Sherman law last summer." Yes, and they were bitterly denounced by the Governor's organs for doing so, and called by them "Republicans" and "traitors." Now the Governor proposes to follow their example and do what he teartily disapproved of their doing. We take the liberty of reminding him that just before this declaration he wrote of a similar imitation, "It cannot be defended, because two wrongs never made one right." We find nowhere in the letter any reference to Democratic principles or the national Democratic platform. The objections he has to Governmental, loans to the people and government ownership of railroads and telegraphs are apparently conceived without reference to the principles or policies of Democracy. One important question in the Alliance catechism the G overnor passes over in silence. He dses not say whether he will or will not bind himself to vote a<*9ir>et- untr nrirl all narsnns who refuse UgUiUUU J v, JC ? ? to pledge support to the Alliance demands. The persistent Mr. Mitchell might liDd it advantageous to make a supplementary inquiry on this point. Incidentally the Governor says that he did not in 1892 oppose the adoption of the Ocala. platform by the May con vention?though ''unalterably opposed" to at least one of its feature??in order to keep "hot-headed Alliancemen from splitting oft' into a third party." That is to say, he subordinated principle to policy, and consented to the adoption of the populist platform in order to barm Prtnnliqfs in t.hfi nontrol of the Democratic party machinery. Ocalites and Populists in other States made a "fatal blunder" in being honest and going out of a party whose principles tbey opposed; they should have remained in the party and betrayed it. '-South Carolina sets her sisters a wise example in 1892," and '-it is incumbent on her to repeat it in 1894." "It is time to b9 formulating the plar.form and marshalling the people for 189G. That is to say, this year the hypocrisy of 1892 must be repeated, and the people drilled so as to go in 189G into tbe Governor's proposed new silver party when he gives the word. Tnis is tbe resul' of our analysis. We are not ab'e to say wieiber tbe letter will suit the i b rtAh o a r\ rv? r\l of a on r j lUi 1 u JO UVO a ujuj^ICIO OUL ~ render. Ba1" it certainly will not suit thi; Democracy. AN ABJECT SURRENDER. The News and Courier, Conservative, :?avs: in his letter to the chairman cf the (-xeeuiive. committee of the Farmers' Alliance, Governor Ttliman explains his position upon the "demands" of the Alliance. It will ba observed that be doe3 not "stand fairly and squarely" upon the "demands/' Some of them he will aovocate, others he does not favor, but yil of tuem. he mates it very clear, H_, urill o irdllr-ar if ciifh an apt- r?f rtecrl n. utiou be found necessaiy to the capture of the entire Alliance vote of the State in Governor Tillman's race for the Senate. "If they ctioose to retire me to private life," says the Governor, "I will cheerfully abide their will;" but he does nor, leave any room to doubt that he will leave no stone unturned to make his position thoroughly agreeable to the Alliance voters of the State lli?i? JS VLLCU1 Luc ucuuauuo iv wuiuu be seems unalterably opposed, namely, that the Government shall lend money to the farmers at a low rate of interest but we lear tbat he would abandon this entirely proper position upon com pulsion or persuasion. He is not in a position at this time to refuse any unreasonable demand that may be made upon him, and we think that another letter from the Hon. Thomas P. Mitchell would bring him to the ground. He told Mr. Mitchell in his letter of AdhI 28, "I am a candidate for United LStates Senator and if elected will vote on all questions as my conscience and judgmentdictate." He told Mr. Mitchell in his letter of May 15 that "if elected Senator" he will strive to aholisli the national backs, to provide for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 and to increase the circulating medium to at least 550 per capita. These "demands" as the governor says incorporate "the sub treasury idea and the lending of *v?Ar?ATT of o l/%rrr rofa rtf infflraaf- " "\Tnnr li-LVLiVJ tk*j a iv M XUbV WJL lUbUlWU. listen to the Governor, the same bold man who told Mr. Mitchell on April 28 that he would "vote on all questions as my conscience and judgment dictate;" lis'ten to what he teils Mr. Mitdhell on May 15: "1 also can advocate and fight for all the other 'demands' except that I doubt the wisdom or practicability of the government owning and running all railroads, teleeraph and telephone lines." I will vote on all questions as my conscience and judgment dictate; but I can advocate and vote for all the demands of the Alliance although in my conscience and judgment they may be unwise and impracticable. Governor Tillman's letters are remarkable for the information they contain of his complete and abject surrender to the Alliance and his coatempt of the National Democracy. They do not estab lish his conrage, aitnougn tne> snow how lightly he holds his allegiance to the Democratic party. HURltAII FOR TILLMAN. The Charleston San, XeutraJ, says: Hurrah for Governor Tillman! The bold stand taken by him against the Alliance's catechnical demands of candidates establishes beyond question his Independence as a man and his worth as a leader. It is the most surprising stroke in the career of this remarkable man. In bis original answer to the Alliance catechism Gover m:*l T n n nor XlliLLliSU wruuc. ? am a uauuiuubr for United States Senator, and if elected will vote on all questions -as my conscience and judgment dictate. But as I shall not, if elected Senator, represent myself but the people, I wcuid at all times obey the instructions of the party in the State to which I. beloag as set fortb in its platform. Hurrah for Tillman, the Democrat. The Georgia Popallita. Atlanta, Ga., May 17.?The Populists today adopted a platform and put out aStateticaet with James K.Hines of Atlanta for Governor. _ Thepreimoie of the platform sav<j: "VVe, the People's party of the State of Georgia, believe in the principles of government promulgated and expounded by Thomas Jefferson, and we an nounceour resolute adherence to the principles laid down by the great Southern statesmen, who, at the beginning of our political liistory, comb-itted the schemes of the Eastern money power, as outlined by Alexander Hamilton, and who oredicted the ruin which weald fall upon this country wben concentrated wealth should dictate Its legislation. We oppose, as he did, the perpetuation of the public debt and the policy of issuing non-taxable interest bearing bonds, whereby a fcrge portion of the concentrated, weal; b of the land reaps a harvest from the taxing of the unprivileged. We oppose, as he did, the national banks as being of deadly hostility to tne spirit of our republican institutions. "We beJieve, as he did, in the free and unlimited coinage of silver and the issue of treasury notes to increase the volume of currency when the necessities of busiaess demand more money. Lite him, we believe in a progressive ujeome tax, to discourage the extensive concentration of wealth and to compel our selfish millionaires to contrbute to the support of the government which protects them. Like him, we believe that the life of this republic depends noon the Duritv of elections and obedi ence to the will of the majority. We hereby renew our unqualified endorsement of the national platform of the People's party; and we favor in the State of Georgia, the following reforms. The platform then declares in favor of the abolition of tne present State convict system; for furnishing primary school bioks by the State; for the Australian ballot law; and against the acceptance of free passes by public officials. The platform contains no reference to the government ownership of railways and telegraphs. The full State ticket is as follows: Governor, James K. Hines; Secretary of State, A. L. Nance; Comptroller General, W. Ii. Kemn; Attorney General. J. E.B. Mabaffey; Treasurer, C. M.Jones; Commissioner of Agricultuie James Barrett. The convention adopted a resolution thanking the Atlanta Constitution and the Atlanta Commercial which "though differing with us in politics have given fair and impartial reports of the pro l*:cuijjgo ul bug wutvuuiuui The San Jose Scale. The News and Courier, of Apr (125 says: We published last week a statement to the effect that the "San Jose scale," some times called the "Pernicious scale," the most serious enemy that the California fruit growers have had to C3ntend with, appeared last year in Florida, Virginia and Maryland, and warned fruit growers in this part of the country to be on the lookout for it and to report its discovery at once, as very great damage to the fruit-growing interest may result if it is allowed to spread. A description of the pest was printed at the same time and was as follows: ' The insect itself i3 a small, flat round * * - ? in aaiai* t-ho scaie, a utue mnuci iu wivi wuu uuv bark of the tree, and will be found abun dantly upon the younger limbs and twigs. It is at this season of the year about one-eighth of an inch or les3 in diameter, and there is in the middle of em i a small, elevated, shiny, blackish, ro aided point. Sometimes the centre of the scale appears yel lowish. The wood underneath the scale is apt to be discolored and somewhat purplish. When the insect is abundant the bark is completely hidden by a close layer of these scales, which are then hardly distinguishable to the naked eye and give the appearance of a slightdiscoloration or a slight roughening of the bark. No other scale upon apple, pear, p^act, cherry or plum possesses these characteristics, and the insect ought therefore to be readily distinguished when present." Wa racrret tn have to reoort that we have just received from Mr. Coffin, of Florence, S. C., a plum twig that is fairly encrusted m places with creatures which correspond so closely to the foregoing as to leave little or no room for a doubt that they are the dreaded visitors. They are, as stated, scarcely distinguishable at a little distance from the bark of the twig, and being well covered by the growing leaves a"close inspection is required to detect tieir r>rp?jftnpp. Snme are darker in color than the natural bark, and some lighter, aod the bark itself presents a smoked appearance in their immediate yicinir.y which is evidently the result of their ravages. The creatures are found singly and in groups of a dozen or more; are collected for the most part at the junction of the tender lateral twigs with the main stem, and all cling so closely to the bark as to appear to be mere slossy protuberances of its material .The United States department of agriculture, as was stated last week, regards the invasion of the orchards of the country by this insect as presenting a condition of affairs so serious that it can hardly be exaggerated, "and will at once take measures to destroy the in sect in ail localities wueie it uiaj uc found." Fruit growers everywhere in South Carolina should look carefully for it, at once, and upon finding suspicious forms on their trees should prompt ly inform the department and;send specimens for examination. The Trade Hark. Washington, May 14 ?Governor Tillman has not only lost the right to sell whiskey in the State Dispensaries in South Carolina, but his efforts to secure the registration of the trade mark therefor have been in vain. Commissioner of Patents Seymour, it will be remembered, refused the application of an attorney General of the State to register the trade mark (a palcbetto tree) selected to identiry State Dispensary whiskey. In this position he was upheld by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, from which decision, TillmaD, by his Attorney Gsna-aI f-i-k 4-v-?Cimroma fVmrf. nf CiOi. UU WUC uup^uiv; VWW4V w*. the United States. But Justice Gray, in an opinion rendered to-day, said the Supreme Court of the United States had no juriousdiction of the matter, as it did not come within the scojje of the law regulating appeals to the supreme Court of?the United States, and therefore dismissed^the appeal, v Irs a Very B .d "Wsy. An interesting report has just been submitted ro the United States Senate by Messr?. Teller, l'latt and Roach, of the committee on the Ave civilized tribes, as the result of their recent tour of investiealion through that territory. Thev uafold ' more conditions of life there than which the ceneral public have any knowledge. They found a population of 50,000 Indians in the territory, and from 250,000 to 300,000 white people. Although the whites largely outnumber their Indian brethren, they enjoy none of- tbe rights of citizenship and are to all intents and purposes aliens. On this account the committee fiad a very bad state of affairs. In the agricultural parts of the territory there are ten whites to one Indian, and in m?.ny of the larger i f/"nx7T?a tho co^tlcrc -3ra oil This is especially notable in McAllister, a town of 5,000 population. Here, owing to the absence ef any rig;hts of citizenship in the whites, they have no authority to lay out the streets, or to po.lice the town, etc. The ODly court of final jurisdiction in the territory is the federal court at Muskogee, and a3 the whites have no rights in the Indian courts, they are compelled to travel in many cases 109 miles in the most trivial trials. The condition of the whites the committee says, can oniy be thoroughly remedied by the formation of a state or territorial form of government but could be partially remedied by the appoinsment of two additional federal judges with authority to appoint com missioners to try minor cas^s. The committee uevotes much attention to tne school question, the whites not being permitted to seed their children to the schools in the territory. The committee says the country cannot aford to permit these children to grow up in ignorance, regardless of the attitude of the parents, who mav have gone into the territory with the full knowledge of the fact that they had no rights. In discussing the subject of the ownership | or me icinus, la*? ^uiuuiiuucc sa)o tua-^ In all thi-ir treaties with the Indians it has beeD contemplated t hat the whites should be excluded; bat the white have, nevertheless, gone there in grea iaumbers, presumably in response to the nvitation of the Iidiaos, certainly with their coaseor-, and bow they cannot expect the government to put them out. The Indiaus at the s*me time do j not want them co le-ive. The law presumes that all this land i3 held in trust for all the lodiaas, but toe fact appears that the greater part of it has been appropriated by a few individuals. Xo recommendation is made because the Dawrs commits is in the Held and the present committee desires to give the ladians an opportunity to make an agreement with the-commission. If they do not do so then this committee 1 says congress will be compelled to take : the matter in hand and deal with it ! without the consent of the Indians. ? I A Blackened R*c*r<5. Des Moines, May 14?Michel Smith was a railroad engineer, and there was $3,000 insurance on his life. He died two weeks ago from tbe effect of poison, and M:s. Ida Scoville told the grand jury that of her own personal knowledge her sister gave Smith three doses of arsenic. The fir3t wa3 in a dish of oatmeal and the last in a capotiI Tho fatal was ?iven in the eveniEg, and the wife left the house, | returning about midnight almost drunk. The sister says she tried to send Frank Beliare, a young.'man with whom Mrs. Smith was intimate and with whom i she said she would start a saloon when her husband was out of the way, for a doctor. But the wife went after BeJaire and brought him back, though her husband was screaming with agony. He died five hours later. Smith was shot in the head a year ago while in bed.and when no one but his wife was near. He almost miraculously escaped Anntv. 'rofnaod t"a nrnc6r>ntfl his ucaoia, uuu w ? wife and kept on liviEg with her. Pete Martan a 16-year-old nephew of Mrs. Switb, was before the grand grand jury and told more about the crimes of Mrs. Smith. Her life, he said, is dotted with the sudden and mysteaious deaths of persons who have come in her way, Fourteen years ago a woman named Adams, wife of Martin Adams, who kept a botel at Grand Junction, was found dead at the Monitor House, in this city. She was said to have had much money on her person. Mrs. Micheal Smith was her roommate that night. Her death was attribute t to heart disease, but It is now thought that she was smothered for her mouey. Three or four months later Mrs. Smitb is reported to have been keeping a boardinghouse at Csnterville. One day a woman named Maud "Williams arrived from St. Louis. She was expensively attired, and seemed to nave plenty of money. Three days later her dead body was found m an alley in tbe rear of the Smith place, and the cause of her death and tbe identity of her murderer remains a sealed mystery to this day. The grand jury is still inves igating Mrs. Smith's history, - bat her lawyer has refused to go any further witn ber case. A fearful Crime. Jacksonville, Fla., May 14.?A special to fie Times-Union from Ocala, Fia., says: Neil Young, a negro, went to the house of Mrs. Holmes, a widow lady living; near South Like Weir, this morning abou; 3 o'clock, and entered the room of her two daughters, aged 13 and 15. In drawing the .cover off the girls the negro awoke them. They resisted, and he snapped a pistol a't them three times, but it did not-.explode. This so frightened the girls that the negro succeeded la ravishing the older one Mrs Holmes was aroused about time the negro had acomphshe.i his purpose and rushed into the room occupied by her daughters. The negro iutimidated the motnt-r with his pistol. When tcld by the elder daughter that the negro had ravished her.' the mother bagged the brute to kill her and the outraged child. After threatening to return and till thorn if the alarm was ffiven. the negio lefr. As soon as day dawntd the fearful itory was told and a posse began pursuing'the negro. He was tracked to an old church and captured aDd brought back to Ocala and lodged in jiil. Ic is rumored that an attempt *i)ibemudeto lynch the negro tonight. If the inheritance tax just enacted in England had been in force when Mr Jay Gould died his estate would have paid $5,000,000 to the Government. When Mr. liockefeller dies, if his estate is as large as reported, his heirs would pay under such a law 810,000,000. William II. Vanderbilt's estate, under the tax just imposed in Great Britian, romil/1 have nairi SlliOOQOOO. If Mr. William Waldorf Astor, besides liviDg in England, spending bis money there, and entering English politics, is subject to this new Eaglish probate duty at the time of bis death, the Astor estate will p.iy into the English exchequer from $12,000,000 to S 10.000,000, according to varying estimates of its ize. A short time age a girl died at a Berlin hospital of blood poisoning, which investigation showed to have heen caused bv the li2ht blue tunic of her dragoon sweetheart touching a scratch on her arm. It seems that tnere Is some poi3oning ingredient in the dye of this particular uniform; and since the fact has become known the dragoons have entirely lost favor with tne young women, who consider it dangerous to associate withthem, while the hussars, with their harmless and less pituresque red jackets, are all the rage.

The most marked improvement was shown in the southeastern portion of the State where the rainfall was quite heavy anl general, being; sufficient to relieve the drought and revive vegtation,except small grain crops which are too near maturity to be much benefitted. The temperature was slightly above the nsrmal the en-1 tire week, with somewhat less than the average amount of sunshine, Showers were numerous and well distributed over the entire btate. The rainfall was excessive at many places, but the ground being very dry soon absorbsd it i and permitted farm work to go on. Weed3 have not yet proved troublesome. Cotton is coming to a good stand from late April planting and May replantinj? just coming up promises well also. Obopplng out and workiog in progress everywhere. Much sea island cotton replanted and looks well. Corn of healthy color but very uneven stand owing to much replanting on account of worms, the latter being still troublesome in many places. There is little improvement to note in wheat and cats. Sweet potatoes being planted delayed in localities waiting for more rata. Sprou.s plentiful. Irish potatoes not uniform in condition.

Jacksonville, Fla., May 16?Last Saturday, a young man appeared at the nnot-nffir>o in "FVrnandina and Durchased seventeen postal notes, each for 10 cenrs, The notes were numbered from 13,764 to 13,780 Inclusive. The young LQ4n probably spent Sunday in raising the notes from ten cents to ?4.10,for oa Monday morning a well known merchant of this city presented one of the note3 for payment at the Jacksonville postoffice. The clerk called his attention to the fact that the strip denoting dollars on the side of the note had been torn off, but as the merchant was known and as postmasters sometimes make mistakes in tearing off strips, the note was paid, conditionally, that the merchant should refund the mosey if the note was a irana. x-oauuiaacec Clark wrote the Fermandina postmaster, who telegraphed immediately that the notes had been drawn for 10 cents, aEd that seventeen of them had been issued to one party. After the merchant presented his note, two others came in for payment, one of them from a lady and another from a well known bink. The merchant who presented the first note said that on Monday a stranger appeared in 'his store and asked him to cash a postal note, saying that he did not have time to go to the postoflice, as he was in a hurry to catch a train. Said the stranger: "The note is for S4.10, jast give me S4 and keep the ten cents fcr your trouble." The joungmanbas disappeared and ha3 left no trace, save a number of sffind led people.__ Harmed.
