II lias been said that taxation t<? build rail-' roads is equitable in that it hears equally un all, accorduik to the benefits conferred. Does practical experience prove this to be true? Take for instance, the Georgia, Carolina . , , ,iltu anu .Nonnern man -\ i-i.x ... ...... township tor the benefit of the road. Kaeli i citizen. then, will have to pay a pro ratashare of taxes. Personal property will not be in any way ' benefitted. Only lauds and houses will bej subjeet to improvement in price. Those who own uo land ean receive no benefit l'rom the! rise in lands and houses. Homelands will be greatly enhanced in value, while others will receive but little enhancement. One lot in town was recently sold for four times its value before work was commenced : on the road, while the great majority of lots will receive but nominal increase in value. Some lot owners save the right of way, and the Increase of market value will be offset by ! the damage to the lot. Shut Mown. The Abbeville Oil Mill shut down last night. It has bad a remarkable tun since New Year, stopping only twice?once for seven minutes to Key up a loose pulley, and once for three j hours on account of a lack of lire wood. Itj has run twelve hours, with the exceptions! named, with results most satisfactory to the stockholders. The mill has ground seven ' hundred tons of seed, nml the average of oil to the ton has been over thirty-eight gallons. 1 15 fg Load ol' Fodder. Mr. John L. Kennedy, of IJollevue, brought | to town yesterday an immense load of fodder. > It consisted of "thirteen hundred bundles, | weighing perhaps 2..rj00 pounds. 11 was sold to . Messrs. Wallingford ?& Kussell at ninety-five | cents per hundred pounds. From the size of | his load of fodder we would guess that Mr. , Kennedy Is one of the most thrifty farmers in his neighborhood. . a Tlie Literary Club. The Literary Club helil its regular monthly meeting last Friday night week at the home of M. P. DeBruhl, Esq. Dr. M. F. Game read an essay on Electricity, which was exceedingly interesting to all present, A lively discussion of the subject of the essay was then had, and the usual refreshments were served. Rev. L. F. Beaty is the next essayist. Good Sidewalk. Mr. Kirbv is just finishing a splendid sidewalk on the street to the depot and oil mill, where a biggulley recently ornamented the Jtlace. The sidewalk runs up to the Kutledge louse to where the jnmping-otr-place formerly was, and the walk is made a continuous one from tho public square oyer the hill and far away. Shade trees are to be planted. 8230 lor of Way. We learn that the G., C. & N. road has of fered Mr. A. \V. Jones S?jO for the right of way through his tarni, for a distance of a mile and-a-tbird, and including damage to two tenant houses. Mr. Jones elaimsS.">itO. Wlieie: Me matter will end, or how it will end, we) are not prepared to say, but we understand that Mr. Jones will not take the price oll'cred. The Sweet Singer oi' Ilod^rx. D?JI. Magill, Esq., has published another delightful piece of music and song, entitled "Sadly 1 Think of the Days that are Gone." Sentimentalists will find this a most charm lng song set to heart touching music. It is published by the National .Music Co., of Chicago, Illinois. The I.eiiteii Season. To-day Is Ash-Wednesday. Services will be held this morning at 11 o'clock iu the Episcopal church, and on every Wednesday morning during lent at the same hour.

Napoleon Laval of Charleston, sliot his wife Monday night, acd then shot her uncle, , B. Feldinan. Neither were killed outright, but both ure In a critical condition. As Mr. Ed Cater, and his sister. Mrs. fj. A. Wilson, were coming to town Monday even* ing, a drunken negro woman jumped from . the side of the road in front of their horse, i throwing up her hands at the same time, | which so frightened the horso that he stopped suddenly. Mrs. Wilson and her grandson. , Courtney Wilson, were thrown out of the ( buggy to the ground. The child lias been very sick ever since. Mrs. Wilson was not I much hurt. And yet it is said that licensed < liquor stores do not contribute to drunkenness, and injury to the innocent citizen. , Mk. John C.

Pennsylvania remembers with shame that, a century ago, departing from the straightforward policy of her founder," .'-{J the rich lands at the forks of the Delaware were fraudulently acquired from the Indians and disposed of by a lot- 4 #3 tery. Are the avowedly Christian leg- ' ? islators of the new State of North Dakota, at this late day, ready to write on : ? the white page of their first year's his- jjafi tory that the unholy spirit of specula- v3j tion and gambling is so rare the wide ^ country through that they deem it de- ' J sirable to promote its growth by appropriate legislation? No, no! LetXou- ^ isiana warmly nourish her notorious lottery scheme, if she will, bat let > North Dakota, true to her climate and to her God, freeze it out! But, while we would fain say to our lottery - tempted brethren near the % Canada border, stand clear, there has 5. been lately advertised among us?advertised even in the religious papers? $ a dangerous lottery scheme to tempt the pupils of Sabbath schools. "King's Daughters," Christian Endeavor Societies, etc., who will have known [" % nothing whatever of the Louisiana 'vi|S lottery, save by rumor. This device is an invitation to take chances at ' guessing the number of beans contain- . ed in a certain sealed jar. ("Sealed securely," says the large displayeed v adveitiscmenc, "and deposited with the Trust Compauy"), and to be ^ of the number of the. fortunate 4896 f* persons who should make the nearest * ? euesses. and so be entitled to nresents A of the (asserted) value of from $1 to $15)0. Having noticed this mischievous announcement in two religious newspapers which I take, and which came to me the.same day, it appeared to me M to be worth while, in the interest of : good morals, to look a little into the % matter. District Attorney Graham ' unhesitatingly gave his opinion in writing, that the advertisement in /; question "gives notice of what is a M lottery scheme used as an advertise- 'd ment," and, in his judgment, "parties receiving or publishing such an ad- v vertisement would be violating the m law." The advertising association, who was placing it in the religious papers, admitted the wrong, and -V the matter, for the present; is held in 1 abeyance. Many may wonde r that such a pal- J Dable mischief-making device should 4 obtain entrance to religious newspspers. The error which I mention 39$ uere, with the hope of its being corrected, was in the editor or publisher, or both, surrendering the control of his advertising columns to an outside association. One "Rev. Dr." (not of a j this city,) wrote that he objected to the '?|fl advertisement referred to, but it was forced in, despite his protest. "Under :'?jm the exclusive advertising management '.19 of the Association," appears on i another paper. Now; is this wise, and The paper, by its name and probaj bly the responsible editor rather than the publisher, are held accountable in th" public estimation wheu a scandalous or otherwise improper advertise- ,J| mentappears, and further, the surren- --Jm der of absolute control over whatever ' is permitted to uro into the paper'would seem to constitute a withdrawal from or thrusting aside a condition of re- -JM jsponsibility which lays the innocent readers open to grave dancers. While rightly and earnestly condemning the ! Louisiana lottery, whether in New Or leans or wherever else it essays to find " ?! lodgment, let us use reasonable dill- Vf-S geuce to keep away from our own bor- ^ ders every entangling device of easen- *3 tially the same demoralizing and ille- ^ gal character. Josiah W. Leeds. People speak of their eyes being tir- ed, meaning that the retina or seeing portion of the eye is fatigued. Such is, however, not the case. The fatigue is inner and outer muscles attached to the eyeball and the muscles of accomo( dation, which surrounds the lens of '^?reye. When a near object is to be locked at ffihr-fiwscle relaxes and al- *%i lon\the lens to thicken; increasing its "J? refractive power. The inner and outer m muuclen are used in covering the eye , R on the object to be looked at. the ittuer gn one being especially used when a near >*3| object is looked at.

The usual indication of straiu is a redness of the rim of the ^ eyelid, betok?ning a congtsted state of the inner surface, accompanied with -ji soma pain. Sometimes this weariness indicates the need of glasses rightly l adapted to the person, aud in other ca ses the true remedy is to massage the I eye and its surroundings as far as may ?J5 be with the hand wet in cold water. Mrs. Hayes always declared that a perfectly adequate substitute for liquor when needed as a stimulaut coula be found iu hot milk, says the New York 1 World, and after any cold or wetting , she gave them this in place of the wine or whiskey which others would have i considered necessary. This is, by the way, a custom of Mrs. Cleveland's al i .so wiiq uiseoverca uiier me mugutjs in the many long and wearisome receptions sIjc was obliged to go through, standing for hours on her feet and shaking hands with hundreds of people, r that nothing would restore her so quickly as a cupful of boiling milk brought to her by her maid, and which she drank in little sips as hot as it could possibly be taken. The Washington girls caught the idea from her and finding how quickly it helped them after a hard day of calls and social , duties, they began to substituto it for the various malt preparations they had been in the habit of taking, or the hot , wine and water their maids usuallyadministered them when they came in too tired out to dress for their next en' gagemcnt. i Bad Management?So many young ; people persist in living beyond their , means! No wonder they early come to ruin. The youug clerk marries and ; takes a house, which he proceeds to furnish as expensively as he cau afford, and then his wife, instead of trying to gl help him earn a iiveimoou, ny uoing : her own work, must have a servaat to help her spend his earnings. Ten ?gg years afterward he will be found strug- gi glingon under a double load of debts gg and children, wondering why the luck I was always running against him, while j his friends regret his unhappy destituj tion of financial ability. Had they Q ! from the first been frank and honest, II he need not have been so unlucky. i The world i? full of people who cau't 1 imagine why they don't prosper like j their neighbors, when the reaj obstacle ,. is not in banks, tarills, bad public pol- jftj i icy or hard times, but their own ex- jii J tnivagance and needless ostentatiou. | jjaltimorean.
