r'-achinga little above the counter. The door
wa? sor.n broken open, and the air rn?hlng In

that nothingcould be saved from the hurtling

with the imperial mantle of ermine, the Me
tropolltnn of Moscow saying at tlie same
time. "Cover and protect thy people as this
robe protects and covers thee." The Kmperor
responded, "I will, I will. I wHI, God helping."
The .Metropolitan of Novgorod, crossing his
hands upon the head of the Kmperor. then invoked
the benediction of Almighty God upon

his seat upon the throne. He then returned
the Insignia ol his title t-o the dignitaries appointed
to receive them and called the Kmpress,

head lightly with her own crown. The expression
and attitude of the Empress as she

grooms, a third walking by Its side. The men
wore high boots and t-p endld dresses of black

A Grand Railroad Project.

No railrond project has ever promised to the

The Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicnso

to invest their money in theenterprise
He has met with much eneoimigeinent, and
has the assurance of all the assistance lie may
need tocarry through tlie work, if the people
w ho are directly concerned in the success of
tlie undertaking will manifest a disposition
to help themselves. It Is estimated that the
total cost of the construction and equipment
if the toad from Aiken to I.exlnyton, Ky., will
amount to Sll.'XW.GOMU or an average cost i>er
tUile of It is certain that thesubKcrii
tion of 3500,000 by the towns, cities and
people of this State will secure the building
of Use road from Aiken to Greenville. Of this
amount Mr. John Ferguson, who is now in
this city as the representative of the City
Council of Greenville, assures us Greenville
will pledee herself to subscribe $100,000. The
remainder of the amount must be secured by
the counties and towns on the line of the road
between Greenville and Aiken, with whatever
assistance they may be able to ?et from
the South Carolina Railway and from CharlesLoo.

he does her distinct and important share of.

hould do even that to make her, by all the

laril that It is distinguished from all others
iy the name of "labor. ' If It does not earn!
noney it Is because it Is not to be measured |

lartner he can obtain another; and a man, no j

procure for his children a second mother. In-'

some army officers in Washington were engaged
in gambling, and It has been assorted
over and over again in army elroies that high

evil and tolerated It. instead of perform 111;:
their duty and suppressing It. It Is understood
that poker is the came whieh has attracted
and ruined more than one army oilleer
In Washington wi:hln the last year or two.
It Is not too mueh lo say that the jianie of

gambling crowd. Among Ihe players, however,
are some oflleers of high rank, two or
more of whom, it is affirmed, are members of
the staff corps, and as such charged with the
disbursement directly or indirectly of large
sumsof public money, Paragraph l,6JSofllie
army regulations reads as follows: "If any
disbursing office i shall l?ot at. cards or any

commander, and will not be assigned
to put In possession of public funds
subsequent to his trial, without the approval
of the Secretary of War."
Kesldcs the officers alluded to there are
probably six or eight other military men in
Washington who are generally regarded as
active or regular poitcr players, inning Ihe

I The gamine crowd appears to haveextended
its Influence gradually, until it bus not only
become the bane of army ll'e in Washington
and a source of great danger to inexperienced
officers vIsi11nu the Capitol, but hasalsodrawn
into its meshesand compromised men high in
authority, and thus been destructive to armdiscipline.
This is one of the worst features
of the cose, ottlcers who value their own
reputations and hold official honor in knightly
esteem could easily keep out of the net;
but they could not but sutler indirectly because
ot the laxty of discipline which lias
affected the whole, army, because it was hardiy
practicable, if indeed prudent, to punish at
a frontier post an evil which was allowed to
flourish witli impunity at the seat of authority.
There are many rumors atioatto-nlght to the
effect thatstartilngdevelopinents may be soon
expected, implicating hiah military and civil
authorities In the gambling practices which
have existed here for some time, and many
sensational stories arc told ot the amounts of
money won and losi by various fortunate and
unfortunate men of high rank and position.
All these stories appear to be mere rumors
and nothin r more thus f;-r, and it is to be
hoped, for the honor of the army, at least,
that they will turn out to be destitute of foundation.

The New President of the South Carolina
College.
[.Vers and Courier.]
The President cf the South Carolina College
occupies a position of dignity nnd influence,
both real ami traditional, which makes him
an object of Interest, to all the people of South
Carolina. Foreseeing with certainty theactlon
of the Hoard of Trustees, as foreshadowed also
by public expectation, we had prepared ourselves
to Klve an authentic sketch of tl>e dis
tingnished gentleman who lias Just been
elected to this high position.
James McLaren MeBryde was born In Abbeville,
S. C? In 18-11. Ills family was of
Scotch descent on both sides. Ills uncle, Or.
John McLaren, was well known as on? of the
most eminent surgeons of the United States
Army,and served with our Palmetto regiment
during the Mexican war. President McIJryde
received his early training at Abbeville, nnd
entered the Sophomore class in the South
Carolina Collegein January, lSjll. At the end
[ of the year he stood at the head of his class,
ami rosa Junior in January, IS(>:i. In the
spring he wascompi lied to withdraw by faillug
health, and the following tall, lor the benefit
ol a naturally delicate constitution, he was
advised to to to the University of Virginia.
Early In 1*01 South Carolina called her sons to
arms, and young Meliryde at once left College,
returned home, ami entered the military
service of his native Statea private in ihe Abbeville
company which formed part of Maxcy
Gregg's First South Carolina Regiment. With
this regiment he shared arduous service In
South Carolina and in Virginia, until It was:
reorganized 011 the expiration of its six
months service. He then returned to Abbeville,
assisted in raising a cavalry company,
of which he was orderly sergeant, and which
was assigned to Col. .las. It. Mack's battalion
(afterwards regiment) of South Carolina
Cavalry. With tills regiment he remained In
active service near Charleston until stricken
down with camp fever, and was so left, at the
poititof death, when thccommand was ordered
10 Virginia, Col. Rlack even giving arrangements
fortheburial 0/ his favorite young
[orderly before bis departure. Recovering
after several months' contlnement be was
compelled to accept bis discharge from the
army, and was soon after appointed by Sccic|
tary Memininger to a responsible position in
[ the Confederate States Treasury Department,
in which lie remained till the end of the war,
1 accompanying the retreat of the Department
from Richmond. In lrto'.'I he had been inar;
ried in Richmond to a daiighterof I)r. .lames
i Bolton, a distinguished physician of Hut t city,
a lady who now, with her Interesting children,
| is well qiiiilillcd to adorn the l'rcsiiient's
house with a traditional elegance and hospitality.
I Uiturnlrg to Virginia Mr. MeHryde settled
jasa farmer In Buckingham County, lint soon
! afterwards removed to Albemarle County, the
| garden spot of the State in Agriculture. Here
i he soon hecame one of the most successful
j and progressive of Virginia farmers, hut while
acted In his business ho still continued ills
; early studies in science, and gave to Ills
j neighbors the valuable example which lie has
; since Illustrated in larger spheres?of the
itinion of accurate scientific thought and experiment
with their practical application to
.successful farming, lie was one of the foun!
ders and afterwards president of the celebrated
i Belmont Farmers' Club, whosereuutation and
I Influence were remarkably extensive and
useful in awakening co-operation and zeal In
farming throughout Virginia. In is?ii tie was
appointed a member of the Miller board of
trustees of the agricultuial fund of the Uulverslty
of Virginia. In this capacity he was
detailed in 1*77 to make an examination of
the Agricultural* ol leges of the country, and
In 1878 submitted a report of great- ability on
tlie subject of agricultural education, which
lias haii tin important intiucncc on the organization
and conduct of that department in
the Virginia University. In 187!) lie was called
to the Chair of Agriculture at the University
of Tennessee, and here lie began, under difficult
circumstances, the remarkable career ol
professional success which, in so short a time,
lias given him so high a reputation.
i It. Is not too much to say that when Prof,
j McUryde took charge of It, the agricultural
depaitmeiit of the University of Tennessee
was in n depressed condition, and its friends
were disheartened as to its future. Prof McUryde
soon restored the confidence of the ani
thorlticsandof the public. Under his control
I the department grew in Importance lor teachJ
Inc. mii?1 the college Ihrm was rapidly brought
to il>e hlulust state of efllcleney. lie innii^tirated
r> nil successfully conduc'ed a wide
series of experiment* of the highest practical
value to farmers, and his reports secured attention
not only In Tennessee, but I hrough
the whole country and in England. When in
1882, utter only three J'ears service, he was
called to the College of South Carolina, the
deepest regret was felt through all Tennessee,
and the strenuous efforts made, holh by the
University authorities anil by representative
farmers and citizens to retain him there,
showed how strong a ho!d thc>onnc professor
had secured in thai State. His bilef career in
the Tennessee University is perhaps the most
brilliant in the history of that institution.
In spite of remonstrances anil Inducements
alike extraordinary, Prof. McBryde decided to
accept the call to his native state, and entered I
upon duty herein the summer of 1882. Colonel,
now Governor Thompson, had shortly before
been designated by the unanimous voice as
president of the reorganized College, but
political events forced his declination. Soon
alter. Dr. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, was elected
president, but declined. It will be remembered
how deep was then the discouragement of \
the Irlends of the College, and how abundant!
were the prophecies of Its failure, The Faculty |
were now compelled, in September, to choose {
a chairman, for an interregnum, which, however,
it was supposed would last only until I
the next mectlnjr of the Hoard of Trustees in I
AWWIIUHT, IIWI'IV IIIM Nil I, ?4* II lltmj

Bryde, one of the youngest of the Facility
hotli In y.-ars and In olJielnl tenure. lie en-'
tered upon his work under trying circumstances.
The opening <if the session was at
hand and no preparations had been made.
Nothing was ready,and n general despondency
had begun to prevail as to the prospects.
There Is no space here to tell what was clone
or how; sufllee It to say, the work, so multifarious
and so difficult, uasdonc.and done so
quickly as hardly to tie known. The Col lege, |
external and internal, was ready for the re- i
ecption of students by the 1st of October, and j
the work of organization and classification, |
m> difficult under the circumstance*, was sue- '
eessfnlly accomplished under ihe direction of
the chairman.
I'rof. Mcllryde's energy, wisdom and success,
as Chairman, had already attracted the
attention of the Trustees, and when, at their
mcetiiiK In November, h<! sum it led hi* first
report, their conviction wiircomplete thai the
<'obese was in safe and aide hands; so that. Instead
of the expected election of a President
at that time, the Hoard unanimously re-'
quested Prof. Mellryde to retain the position
as Chairman of Ihe Faculty. Ilis administration
of tlio affairs of the College since that
t.lme and his successive reports and recommendations
have deepened the conviction,
and the Hoard have only responded lo the
universal sentiment of the community and of
Ihe students, hy whom he Is best known, in ]
elevating him to the oftlce of the Presidency,
whose duties he had already performed with I
Kiwh Ktirc'Pss. It Ik ndmitffil rm nil lunula !
the succcss of the College, ill this first year of
its reorganization, lias been "phenomenal
ut no time In Its history, perhaps. lu.s it been
in belter condition Minn it Is to-dnv. Of Ibis

l'rof. Mellryde's personal character and In*
(iuenee?especially to his skill in organtza-!
lion and to his influence over the students,
which it Is not too much to say Is almost
boundless. He has won the high distinction \
by sheer force of merit, attested by conspicuuuK
success-and a merit, too, as modest ami j
quiet as it is tomtit and effective. Without1
the large repusation which some of his prede- i
lessors have brought to their high otllee. he I
brings to it an actual ability in administrn-i

THE GROWING CROPS.
Summary of Southern Prospects from

Cotton promises an average crop. It is yet
very backward. Taking the whole reeion
there is nr. increase In acreage, perhaps a fulllugof!',
but. the more extensive use of ferilli;
zers is expected to make up the deficiency
which misiht thus arise. Tobacco makes a
' poor showing. In North Carolina ami Tennessee
the lines have destroyed tlie nlants,
and other States promise little more than an
average crop, with a slightly Increased acreage
in Kentucky ami Louisiana. Wisconsin
is uoing into tlie cultivation. Florida anil
Louisiana have a slight Increase in sugar
cane area, and expect an average crop. Rice
promises a good average crop. A noticeable
fea'tiro In the South Is the growing truck
fgrni Industry, which In Georgia, Florida and
[Alabama is assuming la rise proportions In
I unrmlvlnir frrnili vegetables fur home mill
Northern markets. Florida expects to have
so per cent, more oranges litis year than last.
Fruits generally are promNed in abundance.
There appears to be little danger or disaster
to the potato orop where largely grown.
Georgia?Unfavorable weather has retarded
growth, nevertheless cotton appears healthy,
with a slight increase Inaereageand prospects
of an average crop with favorable seasons.
The movement In favor of growing corn and
cereals, shown last year, has heen checked
somewhat. Corn will have nearly the same
acreage, hut there will he less of the small
mains, nice will give about an average crop,
with t lie same acreage. Potatoes shown large
increase, except where blighted in the southern
sections. Truck fanning is assuming
large proportions.
Sou I h Carolina?The increased use of fertilizers
promises a larger yield of cotton and
corn than in lKS2by 10 per cent. Grass Is In
good condition, but in the small grains there
will be generally a decreased crop.

[| How to Hive a Swarm of Bees.

I The season of swarming Is fast advanclni

colony. If j oil havcl'ox hivesuiul black bees
!iinil wish to reform from the errors of you
i; way, now Is the golden opportunity. Ilav
i your movable frame hives ready and liiv
your new swarms in them. A new colony o
my polden banded Italians, have tilled a te:
i frame Langs troth hive with brood anil hone;
r- in twenty-one days, without the assistance o
'! foundation. When the bees swarm, have in
I It l,n..tliii, fit, mine mill Vllfl
r nonsense; wait patiently and nine times on
I i of ten, they will settle ut Ilielr own accord ; i
(! they don't, all the racket vou can make ahou
' It. will have little olivet In altering their de
I! termination. They may say what they lik
j about using a fountain pump, throwlnj
sand, and discharging tiro-arms among tin
j swarm; tint. In my experience, when thej
| strike lor the woods, your only hope is in fol
j lowing them, and tfcey may go a hundrci
I yards "or, as has heen known, even as far a
i seventeen miles before alighting. After tin
swarm eltle.s, brush your hive out nicely, On
' need of fooling with peach leaves and sal
! water), set it where you wish it to remain,sav
! off the limb with the bees on it, lay it on i
j board at the enleranco of the hive, and In i
[short time the bees will be cstablisticd ii
their new quarters. If It is not convenient If
cut the limb, or other object on which tliej
: may light, take an o:d wool hat, secure it to i
pole and hold it near the cluster, shake 01
smoke a portion of the bees oil'; when thoj
attempt to return, put the hat In the way, bj
the side of tlie clusier, until quite a nnmbei
i have settled upon it. aflor which, you wil
I have no dilliculty in getting the whole swarm
j When they have aii settled on the bat, walk
] gently to your hive, and deposit them on tin
: board as you would the limb. If they should bi
i disposed to clog the entrance to the hive b>
! slopping to hum i helrsatisfactlnn, keep it open
j by gently pushing them aside with a twig,
I You may facilitate their march by pushing
forward the rear of llic company In the saint
j manner. They will go to work at once, and
I build small bits of comb by the next morning
j liaise the rear end of the hive three inches
above tin* level of the front, to make them
I build straight combs. If two swarms should
i be out at the same tlmo, cover the llrst to
j alight with 11 tablecloth or sheet, to hide them
j from the others. Otherwise they will nil
j light in the same cluster, much, perhaps, to
I your dlsmav.
i Tf at any tlrno iltirlnjr swarming. you can
'discover and secure the queen, you have the
.matter in your own tmmls. t'nge the queen,
! lake the hive in which you ilesiie the bees,
[ and ret It ill the place of the hive from which
I trie swarm issued. The bees win soon disjcover
her nbscnce ami returning to the old
i stand, will enter the new hive. After a por|
tion of the swurm has entered, release the
queen at the door and allow her to coin with
j the swarm. When they are all hived, set them
to a new stand and return the old hive in Its
proper place. I hive most oi my bees, that
i aie allowed to sw.irm naturally, according to
this latter plan, giving them a few frames
j of brood from the old hive. By clipping the

To Keep Chicks Free from Lice.
I When you set the hens scatter sulphur,
snnfT, tohacco, or Insect powder. In live nests,
! and acaln about, ten days before the chicks
' are due dust the feathers of the hen well with
' sulphur or Insect powder, and the chicks will
come from the nests free from lice; then put
t them In a clean coop, elve the mother hens a
chance to dust themselves, and the chh-ks
> will not be troubled with lice. Foryoung
> chicks that, are troubled with lice there Is
- nothing better than a mixture of sweetoil
and carbolic acid?I plntof acid to 100 of oil.
A Livino Game of Chess.?A somewhat

! was the ebon queen, while Mr Hurnett was
5 her kin?. Miss Mlnne Jones was the white
' queen, and Mr. Smith was the king. After
i tho camo there was a delightful musical eu[
