The Man, and not I lie Flaeo.

? There nr." sortie people who profess to bo- [
liere that almost any oilier pl*re is better, In
n'business point of view, than the town or)
?ity in which th<\v may chance to live. These j
inny be denominated croakcrs. but, neverlheJ".?8
they are numerous, and some of them [
proft-ss to be well-informed business men. .
After looking somewhat cirefnl'.y into the
Matter, we have come to the conclusion th:it I
our success, in the various callings in life, de-1;
nends more upon the man than the place lie '

same circumstances, one man will make!
Tiionoy, while another will ios?. It is not the
place that- makes the money, it is the tactatid .
management, the industry and enterprise ofi j
the man.
We oner, hoar the remark that such and |
biicJi a town Is a dead pl'*ee. That is all a,
mistake; it Is live men that make a live ,
place, and If the times are hnrd ami trade r
dull. II is the fruit of the dead men. instead of i
t!;o dead place. The place Is all right, and all I
H needs Is enterprise and capital to make It I'
lively and prosnerotis. A mail Is lazy and!'
thriftless. and falls out with the plat-c, and I
p?es Roinewh'-ro else to make u fortune, and!
]>e mitiht succeed if lie ha<l lcrt himself be-1
hind. I>ut tie can't lle? from hlmsi-lf. and |
therefore his troubles follow him, and he finds j,
himself fiiee to (ace with the very difficulties |,
rnd drawbacks that he Haltered himselt hej
was leaving behind. He eoon tiinds that j
there Is no place lively and thriving: enoti'jh j
to live without work, and comes to the sa*rc ;
conclusion, after spendin:; all his money in !,
limiting the Kl Dorado of his hopes and as-}
pi rations that aflorall, there is no place Mice j f
fiome, be It ever so h^tuely. ,
Tne idea even of going West, which wns (
once po popular, Is pre'ty well dying out.}i
The fact is. there is no West now; it Ir s been I (

Fregnentiy they have no pla'c to sleep but in , I

Their food is of the poorest kind, so that they l<

This subject brings mo to speak of the so- *
e;il!eil famine of HIT!'. After n direful study of '
the question 1 cannot lull believe that the "
English (iovernmeii t made a cruel mistake 1
anil inflicted almost fatal injuries upon Ire- '
lan:l l?y proclaiming danger of famine. For a 1
nation to become a general subject of charity |!
ol the world, is a danger that political econo- '
iny rediunizci*. What followed that cry of J
"famine," which the Dnehes of Marlborough j [
gave out f.ot.i the pinnacle ol Dublin Castle, '
ami wliich, for the first time, found credence!'
in KnglaiHl ami America? The .Vo-rent Maui- j

amount of sintering in Ireland that, year,:'
iler.; was no famine, ami (he distress that !
there was strange to say, was clue more to the j1
failure of ciops in Kngl.md than lo scarcity of i'
food in Ireland. How so? Because the crops 1
failing in Kn,-da-id, left tuose hundreds of j'
thousands ol' m< n- many of whom had gone '
over in eariy sjii In a to prepare the harvest?! J
without employment. Many who bail gonej'

To .add to ttiis stall the crops at home, in Ire- f

not by ony means a failure. Had not the dls- J
as'e.iof Ktmlaiid been, the shortness of Ireland i
would scarcely have been felt. Wtien, however,
the cry of famine wns started the Irish !
ugit'itois saw their opportunity to give to the | j
Land League its greatest possible force; and 11
then it was that they issued their No rentj.

comparative prosperity had battled them. [J

The next day the Whiff, In its lender, replied
it some length to the Stair, and closed as folows:

The Meeting.
In view of the great ado made throughout
he country about the duel, In concluding
?ew arrangements for the meeting it was
teemed inadvisable to require either party to
ravel on the cars, and the only thing left for
hem was to approach each other ovcrcounry
roads and in private vehicles, and it was
icreed that they should meet on the New
lope road, near Waynesboro, and in the
neighborhood of Hanger's old distillery?that
icing, as well us could be ascertained, u halt*
vay point.
Over the Mountains^
Recent rains had rendered the roads almost
mpassable, and the progress was slow. Mr.
lelrne. coming from Lewlsburg, had to cross
he Alleghany mountains. Mr. Klani, going
rotn Richmond, had to cross the Blue Ridge,
['here were streams to ford, cross-roads to
)other, inquiries along the route to bo made,
ind in such manner as to avoid detection.
iVhen they were not sure thattbey could find
ihelter in the houses of discreet friends, the
>artles camped out for the night. All. how
ver, was successfully accomplished, and yescrda.v

eeeived from him the welcome summons to

The first news of the duel that reached
Richmond was a telegram Iilatn sent his wife,
issurlng her Una he was but slightly wound;d.
The Feeling.
The result of the duel was a great relief to
he public. They did not wish to hear of the
tenth of either party. They were clad to
snow that the trouble was over, and that
vithout. great injury to either combatant.
Mr. lleirne is one of the best fellows in the
vorld. That is what Is generally said about
ilm here. Every body"lovcs him. His death
,vou!d have caused universal mourning. As
t is, he will return to receive the kindly pressure
of the hand from a thousand friends.
Hiscouragi) with those who know him was

BITTEN* BY HIS SWEETHEART.

Richmond. Va., July 5 ?James Frceland.
i young gentleman of leisure, residing in Ac oinue,
In this State, is su tiering fromu orouen
lieart. This is not the least, of his misery, because
a badly bitten hand is a constant reminder
ot Miss Julia Farmer's pearly teet h.
Mr. Freeland. who Is a tall, dignified young
' ntleman, with blonde hair and sky-blue
yes. has been desperately in love with the
noting lady for six months. Julia is a beautlItiI
creature of the ethereal order, but her
:ceth were prematurely aged. James during
lie long courtship, wondered why his dearest
smiled so seldom, one evening she blushingy
confessed the truth. Without delay the
hlvalrous young man escorted her to a promnent
dentist, and. at his own expense, profitted
her with a full set of pearly grinders.
The effect was startling. Julia was trans-:
Virtued into a Venus. For a few days she re:elved
bim with her accustomed warmth, but
ately, it appears, her altectioii died away.
Soveial times he demanded an explanation,

his strolls about the country those teeth 1
ver appeared before Ids gaze. And still she
ivas not his. He could endure the torment no
oti^er. Nerved to desperation he repaired to
ner residence on Maple avenue. The young]
lady's parents were absent, and Freeland cotiiratulatcd
himself upon the prospect of obtaining
an easy victory. lie had come to re laim
the teeth. !
Julia sat at an open window looking out tip-1
:>n the lawn. As young Krceland walked i
tirlskly up the walk she smiled upon him
with bewitching sweetness. It. was the same
>ld smile. Kcgat'dlcssof all rulesof etiquette,
le bounded upon the piazza. Julia screamed
11 affright, but the young man was not to be
thwarted.
"Those teeth arc mine!" he shrieked. "I
want them."
"They are certainly mine," she responded,
'you gave them to me."
"Without further parleying thcdignifled gen^eman
of leisure thrust his hand into her
nouth and attempted to extract the entire
let. His latest gift was within his grasp, hut
le could not withdraw ids hand, the teeth
lad become embedded in his fingers. Illsj
;roans and grimaces availed nothing. For
some moments he was held as In a vice and I
executed a (nondescript dance. Finally she
eleased him, and without waiting to regain
lis hat he disappeared.
His fingers are said to be severely injured, I

! Yesterday afternoon t wo arrests were nwde
in this city that caused a great surprise anions
?>nr citizens and the surprise was increased t>?
astonishment as the developments of the trial
i were made known. The parties arrested were
i w -\iinins. ? Iki h:n tiocii tli-iset. ajrent for
the Air Line, Richmond urn! Danville ami
Charlotte, Coinnibin niiil Augusta Railroads,
in tiiis eily for t\v-? years past. and Cni?t. K. ().
Neshit. who is well known lotlie traveling
public as a conductor <?n the Air Line Road.
The chargc upon which ihey were arrested
: was embezzlement. Mr. Adams wa? arrested
a few minutes before time to sell tickets for
the two o'clock trains and taken to the otliee
of (.'apt. H. I'. Warring, Trial Justice, ("apt
: Ne?bit was In bed at his boarding house when
the ofliecr stepped In on him. The two purties
secured Messrs. Hurwell it Walker for
counsel, while the prosecution was represented
by Judge David .Schenck, Major W. J.
Montgomery and Col. H. (J. Jones. The allegation
of the railroad company was that Mr.
Adams and Mr. Xes'ilt were acting in collns|
ion to defraud the railroad company, and had
; hi-eii at it for some time p ist, presumably for
I two years. But one ease ot embezzlement
was brought against Mr. Adams, while two
i cn*es were brought against the conductor. It
Iseems that some time la*-!.year, Mr. Mercer
' Slaughter, the general passenger agent, susi
pected that, something was going wrong on
j tlio Air Line Road, and on iusiltiiting an ln'
vest jgatlon, lie found that, not only was soineitl.lxir

I was nut correct In the ChariotIc t.iekct office.
! A detective was employed to work up the case
jntul liis labors culminated in the arrest and
.trial yesterday
The railroad company charged that. Mr.
Adams had issued tickets without stain pint:
I them, that Captain Neshlt took them up willi(nut
punching them, mid returned them to the
j ticket agent to sell over again and divide the
I inoncv. The prosecution ottered evidence
showing that on the 11th day of April, 1K<I,
I Mr. (Jeorge Farritigton bought two tickets
j from Charlotte to Atlanta, oil'* numbered 2,71 2
J ami the oilier 2.912, thai 2.712 was given to a
I friend who went with Mr. Farrlngton, and
J.Mr. Karri nut on gave the ticket 2,912 lo Con|
ductor Neshlt who was In charge of the train,
jit was further shown that a ticket numbered
j2,912 was afterwards found in Its proper place
jiu the package In the depot, in Charlotte,
; never having been stamped or punched. It
| was further proven that the agent, Adams,
I never charged himself with the sale of ticket
I No. 2.912. Capt. Win. Clarkson, n conductor
on the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad,
was then produced as a witness by the proseleution,
to prove that some months ago Mr.
I Adams made a proposition to him to do the
same thing on the Atlantic, Tennessee and
Ohio Road, adding that It was being<lnne by
j other conductors and there was big money in
lit. Capt-. Clarkson indignantly scounted the
proposition and reported what Adams had
said lo him to the authorities, the next day.
Ktforts were then commenced to catch the
parties. Mr. James M. Ilerry, an Atlanta detective,
with George Farrlngton. of our city
police torce as assistant, went to work, and
very soon had what they considered to be a
good evidence of the cullt of the parties.
Mr. Neshlt was also charged with collecting
fares in cash on the road and not returnjing
or accounting for it to the company, and
there was evidence that on the 10th of June.
iss:i, two fares were paid him and he accounted
for only one in Ins return. There was much
more evidence, but this Is the substance of it
mi.
The defendants offered no evidence.
The Justice decided that there was reasonable
c.tuse. Then there was much discussion
in reference as to the amount of the bond*.
The Justice decided that lie would require of
Mr. Adams a SI.JHH) Justified bond, and two
hoods from Nesbit in the sum of 3750 each.
The parties were bound over to the Inferior
Court.
Mr. W. F. Snider, at whose house Mr.
Adams has boarded for the past two years
signed his bond and Adams was released.
Captain Xesbit fulled to give bond and was
taken to Jail, but it is thought that as soon as
his friends In (Jeorgia can be commu ilcated
with he will have no difficulty In giving the
required bond. Mr. Adams Is a young unmarried
man, and caine to this city about
two years ago from Georgia. He was considered
a most moral, upright young man,
and enjoyed the lull confidence of our people,
all of whom are astonished at yesterday's revelations.
Nobody has enjoyed a better name than
Capt. Nesblt, ami those who know him can
scarcely realize that such o tiling has come to
pass. lie was known by all to be a strictly
steady man, never indu'glng iu drink or using
tolmeco and never uttering an oath. "He's
a good fellow, if ever one II ved," said an acI
quainlance of ills lo the reporter, "ana I don't
believe he is guilt} of these charges, no matI
tcr what they say."
It Surprised Atlanta*
The NcshiUAdams arrest In this city Inst
Tuesdny bids lulr to he ft nine days' wonder In
Atlanta. The railroad employees In that city,
says the (.institution, are quite Indignant.
They snv "Oscar Xesbit Is not guilty," and
I one who enn makegood his words said : "I'll
bet he will be acquitted, and If he Is I'll lend
him S,>.lKK) to put the railroad company In a
sling. I wouldn't, want a better thing than
Oscar Xesbit has in this arrest."
On the other hand, tbe railroad officials aro
certain that they have bagged the game. They
declare that tlio case wos carefully worked,
and that when the trial comes up there will
be an abundance of evidence to secure a conviction.
"The company will have a hard
time to prove Xesbitand Adams guilty, even
If thevnre guilty," said a railroad man yesterday.
"Why?" asked a Ounstilutiim reporter,
who was si and lug within earshot, "l'.eeause
their own charge makes It almost impossible.
See, they say Adams sold tickets without
stamping them and Xesbit. took thctn up
without punching and returned thein to
Adams, who put tliein in the case again. Now
this is the way they claim It was done. In
every ease the tickets are numbered consecutively.
Suppose the ticket on ton In the box
was say 2011, and th<- ticket at the bottom was,
say Wxr Any a^ent soon learns about how
many tickets he l? liable to sell during a
week to any point named In that ea*e. Now
suppose he would sell two hundred in a week.
Then if lie and Xesbit were playing the game
he would go below 100 and sell tbe ticket, and
when 1 he tieket was brought back by Xesbit
it would be placed in lis regular order. A
search of the ease might show the ticket gone,
but unless the ticket was found in the hands
of purchaser 110 thoft could be proven. On
1 ho i>i11 or IihiiiI If t h? tleki'l was found in the
case it would take mighty strong evidence to
convince rue tliul It had ever been out."
Mr. Adams ami Capt. Nesblt are both in
Charlotte, and both protest their iunoccncc
of the charges.
A VETERAXDIUVER.
The Oldest Railroad Engineer in the

(.1 ugiixta Chronicle and CoiutUutionah.it')
Probably the oldest living engineer, that Is
In say, who lias been longest in actual servlcc.
Is Mr. II. (*. Kaworth, of Allien. He Is now
70 years old, and his "eye Is not dimmed nor
his natural force abated." llecnn handle his

his rails as far as the stretch or grade
will allow him.
The Chronicle visited Mr. Kaworth at the
Globe Ilotel the other day, and found out from
him that the first trial trip of a locomotive
engine was made In this country August 5th,
1X31, over the South Carolina Hailrond, six
miles of that line having been completed from
Charleston In that year. The engine "Best
Friend" was the first practical locomotive
built for service, and was put up at West
l'oint. New York, making Its first trip over
I the Carolina Kallroad November.'Id, 1S29. Mr.
Kaworth served ns an apprentice on the "Host
Friend," and after site blew up and was*rc!
built as the "Phtcnlx" he ran also with the
resurrected machine. The "Pest Friend"
| used I he crai\k axle, but, when rebuilt, carried
her rods horizontally on the exterior as now.
These engines were capable of traveling fifteen
miles per hour. Mr. Kaworth passed
through the periods of experimental railroading,
in which sailing and endless chains were
employed as moters. lie has been railroading
and steamboatlng off and on ever since.
"Did you ever have an accident?"
"Once. I was carrying the President, of the
road to Charleston in 18.V2, moving at a driving
naee over the road. I.ooklmrahead of me
I spied a wash-out on the road, in which a
large culvert, hud been carried away. My impulse
was to slock op, but finding that I could
not stop In time I resolved to "let her go" nnd
take the chances of Jumping the culvert. The
engine and tender however, went down and
doubled over, and it was a wonder 1 wan not
killed. The cars were stopped In safety,
there being but one person on the train killed,
a boy.

"The Imp of the Preverse."
OIm^imW Qhronlctc and Oohsiiiuttonatiit.)
Ltist Sunday we gave Uio views of the grcAtest
of a'rt-rrltlcs, Iluskln. on iho subject of
"Love and (Jonrtship." The views of a man
of genius unci 11 philosopher were necessarily
entertaining, however impracticable ; but
from the Interest taken in the matter wo are
led to believe that, under the metaphysical
quality of the reasoning, I here was a deal of
plain truth. It may be curious to present, at
1 this time. a? a foil to the Ideal of Raskin, the
j hard-horse sense plan of a common-place man
| to bring about courtship to Just theconcluslon
he desired. We quote his own words,and call
attention to them thus :
WeU, I used to raise a good deal of buckwheat,
it puzzled me toknow how to get rid of
the straw. Nothing would eat it. and it was a
I great bother to me. At last I thought of a
I plan. I stacked my buckwheat straw nicely,
and built a high rail fence around it. My
cattle, of course, conelnded that it must he
something good, and at unco tore down the
fence and begat! to cat the straw. I drove
them away,and put up the fence a few times;
but the more I hunted them otfthe more anxious
they became to cat the straw ; and eat it
I they did, every bit of It. As I said, I marry
j my girls on the same principle. When a
young man that I don't like begins to call on
I my girls I encourage him in every way I can,
II tell him to come often and stay as late as he
----- ? I.." Inlilnl
I pil'llvfs ; mill 1 unvt; imiu.n .....V V., ...... ?
that I think they'd baiter set their alps for
him. It. works first rute. Ho don't make
many calls, for the girls treat him us cooly as !
they can. Hut. when a young fellow that I
like comes around?a man that I think would
suit me for a son-in-law?I don't let him makel
ir.any calls before I Rive him to understand I
that he Isn't wanted about my hous.\ I tell I
tell the girls.. too. that (hey shall not have I
anything lo do with lilin, and eivo them
orders not to speak to him again. The plan always
works cxaetly as I wish. The young
folks begin to pity and sympathize with each
other, and the next thing I if now Is that they
are engaged to he married. When I.sen that
they arc determined to marry I of course five
in, and pretend to make the best of it. That's
the way I manage it.
It will be seen that this sagacious parent is
as redoubtable a philosopher ft Ruskln, probably
without suspecting ft. He deinonstrati'd
keen observing powers when tempting cattle
to eat straw, and a flue faculty of applying experiment*
with brutes to the better naif of the
iiumaniRee. He stands alongside of the Ingenious
person who found out that the best way
j to persuade a pig to go on shipboard was to
J twist its tail in the opposite direction. Ho
may be fairly rated also with one Edgar A.
I'oe, who, altough a baby In the ways of the
world, was a giant in reducing motives and
springs of action to their last analysis The
fact Is. the farmer who contrived to marry otr
his girls as he Induced his live stock to nibble
straw, had simply put Into practice the theory
wrought out by .Mr. Poe who delineated with
microscopic ratiocination that there Is in
every person, man or woman?especially the
latter?the "imp of the preverse." Hecause of
that Imp and Its manifestations, the world Is
(Often startled by the happening of the lrn|
probable In the wa.v-of matrimonial ventures.
| I'.ecause or mat, imp, mere are mi many niun11
rail "its of folly where the best of women are
I wedded to the worst of men or rice vrrxn. The
| "The "buckwheat straw plan" depends fur
| success upon several conditions. First of all.
the girls must not know that their artful
i father has set a trap for them .Secondly, Ihe
e'ever parent must be sure that the man he
likes Ik worthy of the approbation of himself
as well as of his daughter. There are minor
and collateral considerations, but let them
pass. If the elris are taught the latest modern
improvement in courtship, they may become
as dextrous as the father thinks himself and
and match one form of deceit with another.
They may do as the young Vanderbllt Is said
to have done when the old Commodore maliciously
furnished a false pointer on stocksgo
In the opposite direction and escape catastrophe.
Ail of these devlees, whether they
come from Ruskin or a rural mountebank, are
apt to miscarry; because the secret, of the
Sphinx is easier to read than llieheartofa
woman, and for the further reason,- that passion
has more masquerades than Mom lis, anil
the false face Is frequently not dropped until
too late for anything but repenteneo and regret.
It would be best of all not to play tricks
with oiuselves or with our daughters, and
least of all beguile them Into matrimony by
rules that may hold good for heasts that perish
! hut not always for Immortal spirits. If anything
could bo done to elevate the standard of
young men anil make them tit for like cornIjmnlonship
with noble women, there would
lie no need of any anxiety nor any resort to
I exercising or misleading the "jump of the
; prevcrse." Young women should be leaders
in the reform, for Just as Kinma fjizarus says
every country has the kind of Jew it deserves
so every nmtrlmorial community Is sure to.
have the kind of young man It encourages.
Wo often hear parents sigh at the prospect of
their daughters, as they knowlnuly contem
plate the young men ot the day ; but are they
not to blaine somewhat in tolerating and enc7>uraglng
u.iworthiness, placing "no check
upou the girls, and failing to indoctrinate
them with safeguards of knowledge that may
prevent the heart from betraying the head"?
lit happens alas, only too often that what
' seems wholesome to both parent una child
I develops mournfully nnd tragically to both.
I Th Is happens because the soolnl Mokanna has
i had the cunning to hide his real nature until
the vlcllm has been delivered Into his power.
Women who have deserved the best, of husbands
have too often found the worst, and no
precaution apparently had been omitted to
spare them such a disaster. Ilumnn wisdom
appears to be at a loss to mend this matter.
Divine guidance Is the only safe refuge
Happy tne woman who has the Inspiration
from above before marriage, nnd does not
have to seek It all forlorn, when her idol Is
shuttered and lays in the dust wl.th Its feet ot
clay crumbling In hideous moikory around
the btsad of brass.

I tied hi* horse to n "swinging limb," opened

: Some of the higher courts m Igiit take a lesson

Plain Talk About Marriage.
As to the age when people should marry, the!
lady should, in my opinion, be 2!) or 22, and
the gentleman five years her senior. Poor'
j men cannot mnrry extravagant girls, who expect
as good home as their parents were only
able to acquire after many years' toil. The
deceit practiced 011 both siJes is very great.
The ugly suitor gets a tuilor to hide his delielf>nctr>s
tiiR unsiorhtlv mniden calls in the
aid of her rouge pot and milliner. Until re-]
eently marriage brokerage was carried on In j
France. We Americans are guilty of the
name thing in another way Mothers sell]
daughters to tlie highest bidders and daugh- j
tors sell themselves for gold to men old enough
to be their grandfathers. Sucli women]
would no more choose honest mechanics for ]
husbands than they would convicts from the .
penitentiary. There Is no reason why wo-'
men shold not choose as well as men. At
present, t.ne men have all the advantage. No i
girl is fit to be a wife till she can, if necessary,
cook a meal, make a dress and keep a house i
In order. Accomplishments are good, but a;
tired husband would much prefer a good!
'square meal. AJl matches that are brought j
about by selfish motives arc unholy, and wo-j
men who marry for position or weal th are Just
as guilty as those who sell their virtue for a
I given sum. They arc. In fact, living a life
j of legalized prostitution. Marriages In which
] there is no adaption are unlawful. As oil and
I water will not unite without alkaline, so
I many a couple are united by means of gold,!
|Such artificially made matchcs are often
broken. You may force alcohol and gum'
camphor to hlend, but at the presence of;
wafer the alcohol elopes and leaves the cam
phor a grass widow. In like manner a third!
party often steps in between a badly assorted
pair, with what result can he easily seen..

Orkknvii.i.k, July 6.?The news of the resignation
of United States Marshal Blythe
causes considerable surprise In Greenville.
C'ol. Mlythe is a nntlve of this county, has resided
here all of his lift*. amJ had long hecn a
prominent mcml>er of the Greenville Unr
when h? was appointed I'nited States marshal
fi>r this State. Humors of the unearthing
of Inuidsof deputy marshals in their accounts
against the Government, brought to
official light by the examiners sent here anil
e'sfcwhere in the Stat" for the purpose 01 invest
lir-it inj:. have been current torn month or
two past. Col. Wythe's resignation is ??i
course at once couneclcd wiih the vamte rumors
of the shorteomlnirs of his deputies, anil
his friends as well jus the public, have heen
anxiously solicitous to know the tacts In connection
with his resignation.
With the view of ascertaining the cause of
his resignation I called on Col. lllythe this afternoon
at the otllce of A. !>. Maytlcld. K?q.,
his former law partner. Col. Illy the has lust j
returned from Washington where lie had
cone on the business of his otllce and where!
he had a full conference with the department, i
He conversed freely and unreservedly as to
his resignation and as to the crooked accounts
of the deputies for wliluli he is held responsible
without, however, goinz Into particulars
as to any one fraudulent charge. A Washington
special, said your Reporter to Col. Rlythe,
contains the announcement that you have resigned
your office as United Slates marshal
for South Carolina. Have you any objections
to giving the readers of the AVi/vt anil Courier
your reasons for such resignation ?
I Answer: The department examiners have
recently been through the Suite examining
the accounts of deputy marshals. This examination
eocs hack through my term. A con|
slderable amount has been stricken out of almost
every deputy's account as constructive
or Illegal. The department proposes to hold
f my account responsible for those disallowances.
Tills was the principle cause of my
resignation, besides the ofll<re of marshal did
not suit me In any respect, and I am anxious
to return to my profession.
Question: Humors have been afloat for
some time past a? to this crookedness In I he
j accounts of deputy marshals which have been
i investigated by the department. Can you
throw any ll^'h't on the subject ?
Answer: The examiners claim, to have
found Irregularities and illesral charges In almost.
everv account, but I have not seen tho
specific charges.
Question: Have the pracl Ices or customs,
?,i ?,??cinieiivf> been carried
on among deputy hlnrshalH nil tlie 11 inc. and
| have these accounts everO^gen questioned be|
fore ?
Answer: I think thatclinrtreft now deemed
constructive by the department hsiveconstantly
been made In thin Stiite by deputy marshals.
sheriffs and constables. Tliey have,
heretofore, bepu allowed without question.
Question: Do yon intend to submit to being
made responsible forlhe c/ercharges of
your deputies under the clrcumstanccs, or
will yon contend otherwise?
Answer: A copy of the report will lie sent
me. I will then have an opportunity of answering
It. and it will be Anally pussed upon
by t he first comptroller.
Question: Have real frauds been practiced
by the deputy marshals or are they simply
over-charges, which are merely legal frauds?
not hPlng expressly authorized by law?
Answer? The accounts of the deputies are
itemized and sworn to as correct and certified
i by the commissioner hefore whom the case
was heard. The examiners claim, however,
to have found many charges which they characterize
as false and fraudulent.
Question: Do the over-charges thus charged
to your account amount to any considerable
sum ?
Answer: 1 fear it will be pretty large, hut I
have not yet seen the report of disallowances.
Question : Ilavc these overcharges been
general with deputy marshals, or confined to
only a few. or to those of any particular section
of the State?
Answer: It is alleged that they arc general
and In every part of the State?
Question: Has your resignation been accepted
by the department?
| Answer: My resignation was to take effect
I upon the appointment and qualification of
my successor. I think the appointment will
] be made in a few days. I will conduct the ofI
flee until my successor qualities, and then return
to Greenville and resume the practice of
| ray proies?itju.
In reply to a question as to who would
j probably he his successor Col. Blythe declined
j to (five any opinion, saylnsr that he had no
! means of knowing whom the department
(would ne likely to appoint. He returns to
[Charleston to-morrow to resume his official
j functions until relieved by his successor.
Another Aged Citizen Gone.
{Saluda Arfliu.]
Died at his residence In Greenwood, on the
evening of th<> "rd Instant, Mr; Bennett Reynold#,
Kr, aged eighty years. Mr. Reynold*
had been gradually declining for the past
year, until his physical energies were exhauslcd
and he gently and quietly passed
| away as one who has fallen asleep. Thus has
I closed the nctlveand earnest life of one who
has lone moved In our midst. He Illustrated
to ah eminent decree the life of an honest
and frank character, nndissembllng and
truthful himself, he could not hear the leas',
sernbl.ince ot falsehood or deceit in others.
No man ever had a greater detestation of a
mean or dishonorable act; and none had a
greater admiration for that which was generous
and noble. It was on this principle he
lived and acted, and thus conducted all tils
dealings with Ills fellow men throughout a
lonu and active career.
The funeral services were held at 0 o'clock
P. M , yesterdry, and he wa? Interred in the
village cemetery bv the side of his sainted
wife, who preceded him several years ago.
Thus, another link connecting two generations,
has been served, and but few others remain.

Kerosene as an Insecticide.
From reports made by C. N. ltlley, entomologist
of the Department of Agriculture, It appears
that kerosene oil is a valuable agent for
the destruction of insects lnltncal to corn,
maize, cotton and oranges, and by Implication
should equally affect other farms <,f Insect
life destructive to vegetation. Emulsions
made with milk do not appear to be necessary,
Judging from thrc results of thcscexperiments.
For chlcnh bugs a mixture of one pound of
coarse resin soap dissolved in ten gallons of
water, to which Is added about a pint or kerosene,
was eflectually applied In the form of a

Unreliable Labor.
[ Ctimdfn Journal.]
In tnlklng with some planters last, week,
the question of labor was discussed, and without
an exception, they united in saying that
at this time It was more unreliable than they
had ever known it to be before; that, neither
persuasion, threats nor money could Induce
the negroes to perform a good days work?we
menu the average farm laborer?and that the
only way out of the present dilemma was to
Introduce labor-saving machinery into our
country. It is true, we will have to have help,
even though improved machinery is Intro-j
duced, hut it will not require as much help,
anil It will be more readily controlled. Necessity
drives us to nearly all the Improvements
that are made, and this is one that will
have to come. Too much Is lost by the uncertain
labor we have at present.
The Cat Serenade.
[Camden Journal.]
The howling of the festive cat In his midnlclit
serenade on the hack fencedurlntr these
hot nlchts, creates a responsive howl from
the disturbed sleeper, who, lieinir unable to
rest, arises and poes forth with shot nun In
hand and murder in Ills heart to put an end
to the aforesaid serenade; hut lo! afferstumbllne
over a wheel-harrow, a few washtuhs
and benches, finds that Mr. Thomas fat has
ceased his melodies and moved on to new
fields. Thus the dlseonitltted sleeper has to
return to his eotieh nlterlnn anything else hut
prayers upon the head of the now silent!
Thomas. Isn't this provoklni:? Therefore
warfare upon the cat Is now in order.
The Illicit, whiskey sellers In Charleston are
helm: thinned out In theClreult Court, last!
week .1. P. IT. riutlKFcn was i ml If ted for solllnc i
liquors. Ac., without. ImvliiR n Stntc licence to \
do so. The State proved tin* sale of t wo class-1
es of heer. Mr. fMaussen pleaded a mlsappre- i
henslon of the law. Heln^a manufacturer of!
the beer and not bclne required by the city to
pay a license he had construed the law to exempt
him from paying u license to the state.
Upon being informed by the county commissioners
that he had violated the law, he offered
Immediately to take out the license. The
county commissioners, however, would not.
accept the license without the penalty. The;
Jury found a verdict of guilty and the defend- '
nnt wns sentenced to pay a fine of ?-200. or he
Imprisoned in the penitentiary at hard labor |
for six months. Alike penalty was imposed !
upon three other persona who were found j
guilty of similar charges.
Wonderful Jewish Statistics.
The OeiUrtU Presbyterian says: "Instead of
dying out, the Jewish body shows increasing
vitality. They cannot be stamped out or
swallowed up. They pass from country to
country t? become practlcully musters where
ever they go. They get the land in Germany
and Hungary, and grow rich in Russia; they
are 1 lie great hunkers in I,ondon nnd Paris
anil the centres of European commerce. In
ten (recent) years tiie Rothschilds furnished
?100,<KH),U!)0 in loan* to England, Austria, Prussia,
France, and Brazil. Tliey increase faster
than Christians, and of every IOO.OUO persons
only 80 Jews die to 113 Christians."

Sunday Contracts Valid.
The Supreme Court of Illinois has decided
that a construct made on !Sund::y is valid,
I just as much so as if made on any other day.
We never could understand why It should
have ever bccc otherwise. If it is wrong to
} make contracts on Sunday, why should a
! man bo allowed to act the rascal twice? Two
wrongs never make a right, though two noga1
lives may be the equlvalant of an affirmative.

Messrs. Paillser, Palllser <t Co., of Uridgeport,
Ct., the well known Architects and Publishers
of standard works on architecture,
have lately issued a sheet containing plans
! and specifications of a very tasteful modern
eight-room cottage with tower, and also with
the necessary modliicaiions for building it
without the tower, and with but six rooms if
desired. In lis most costly form. thC'OtrtlTy
is estimated at S!,00t): without the tower It
has been limit for ?:".500; and If only six rooms
I arc included, the cost may be redncen iosj.yw
I or S2,iMM. Details are given of mantel", stairs,
I doors and casings, cornices etc. The publlsh]
crshave found it the most popular plan they
I have ever issued, and state that It. has been
'adopted In more than five hundred Instances

skating, regardless of the season ; they all
seemed to enjoy It very much, and Miss
Mamie I>awson, It Is said, Is the most graceful
"skutcr" ever entered "Watson's Kink." It
hoped they will not forget us, and come again.
