" " "" " | The Klet-1 ion. i The election at Abbeville yesterday passed ' off very quietly. There was no rush for the ; polls, and there was no great demonstration for or against any one, but as a rule, the peo ! pie felt an interest in voting for some one, a. a consequence, they went to the polls ands ! voted a full ticket for County and State otli ! cers. Among the candidates for the various Coun ty offices there were several men who were-1 1 ~ ~ f/vtaru In till(<h IllKllltlPP. J HCtepiuuio w mo wiv.? ...

Tuesday night in time to catch the Northbound 1.20 train over the Seaboard Air Line road our report of .yesterday's election may. be defective, but w<l give as full a report as we i can secure by that. hour. As usual quite H number of election tickets I were printed, ar.d the variety of tickets was sufficient to satisfy the most exacting. About theroost popular ticket was the one twith all th-. names on It, so that by erasing] the names lor wbom the voters did not desire to Cast a ballot a fall ticket would be left. I With ttiis system iu vogue there is no way to i UiWOvera voter's tidket unless he choses to j The candidates went to tho dlfl'erent pre. j cinctsas they thought their presence at the polls most advantageous to their interests. A majority, however, we believe went to Greenwood. That city usually casts from | 400 to GOO votes, and as- only a few candidates I were in the race from that section it was j thought that this would be a good field in j which to work. Quite a number looked after their interests j at Abbeville, and others went off singly or in j groups, as their inclination or judgment dictated. This campaign has been noted for the lack of slander, which characteiized some of the campaigns of the past. While there may have been single or individual instances of bad feeling, yet evidences of such occurrences | did not tlndits way to the surface. As far as we know the candidates have I treated each other fairly and honorably, and ! It Is reasonable to presume that each one of * them has made up his mind to abide the re. suit of the election with good feeling. If any partizan or tactional issues have R been raised in the campaign, a knowledge of j p the same has not reached the Press and Ban-1 e ner office. j h This set of candidates may be set down as ] a honorable competitors, and their conduct j hi may be characterized as gentlemanly. j n I c The Subject Being KtlticiMiou. 1 li Mr. McNVborter, a correspondent, writes an j article on education, which will be read. Like nearly everybody who writes on edu- 11 cation, Mr. McWhorter seems to assume that 8 every boy or girl may be "educated." Before one can discuss that question proper- 1 ly the meaning of the word "education" 1 should be defined or accepted. What does It mean? It may mean one P thing or another. Some men are "educated" In the use of their hands in one of the many pursuits. Some men think that "education" I refers only to the cultivation of the mind. Assuming that Mr. AlcWhorter meant that t "education" which a boy is supposed to re- I ceive In the schools of the country, he forgets ? the very foundation upon which to build. A t boy must have a brain and something to t think with before he can be educated. ** There is not more than one man in ten that 0 needs to waste time In Btudying books after J he has learned to read, write and cipher. Nine men out of ten must earn their living | U in the practical purf>ult6 of life, and youth is I ' the time to learn the lessons In the bus- j lness which will bring success in after life. | 1 Ninetenths of our daughters waste time | t and money and energy to make music by J v knocking the keys of an old piano. Unless | f a girl has a musical talent, it is absolute j 1 waste for her try to study music. And so, a boy with a feeble mind, or one 11 which is lazy or inactive, is wasting his time s seeking the learned pursuits in which he is 1 sure to be a miserable laiiure, when he might | make a good mechanic, or a good ditcner, or 11; * good herder of cattle. i j; A boy without a mind can no more be made I a great man by "education" than a pewter \ mug may be transformed into a silver pitcher ! by scrubbing It. A man who marries a fool or a cackling ( goose need spend no large amount In educat- * lug his boys. A light-weight mother never J had a talented son. The woman who marries I a simpleton need not indulge any idea that J ' her son will be President of the United ' States. Tbe first thing to determine is, whether the boy has got any brains. If he is the Joint son ' of a simpleton and a cackling goose, he can ^ only be a goody-goody boy?never a brainy | man. 11 j i The ChiirUxtnu I'ost. The Charleston Post is not in full sympathy j with the election of Bryan, the Democratic |' nominee on the sliver platform. The Post, as we understand, holds opinions ' not unlike thORe which are held by the Press j and Banner?except, as we have seen the statement In some of our exchauges, that that paper would support McKiuley. We believe that the election of Bryan | would be a calamity to this country, but as a I majority of our people In South Carolina are j Inclined that way, and as the nominee is on : that platform, we expect to vote for Bryan and cheap money, though the country needs j u. high tariff and more good money, and plenty of work for our people. But whether the Post 1* right or not, no one j ( can fall to be impressed with the ability and the gentlemanly hearing of that editor when : discussing the political situation. Of late so | much tilth has been dug up and thrown Into, the faces of respectable people that it is truly j refreshing to note the faintest re-appearance | of gentlemanly conduct on the part of the ! papers. The Post it seems has a higher standard j than that of scavenger and has a higher aim than to become a purveyor of slime and filth. Tillman, Evans and other Reformers may have done much to cast a shadow over the old line politicians, but compared to the utterances of the papers that assume to speak for South Carolina, they have been very small sinners. The papers that assume to say that all decensy, all honesty and all respectability has been expelled from South Carolina because the old set are not in oflice, have doue more to injure South Carolina s (rood name than all the Iteformers in the State. The defeated faction, It seems to us, has not takeu their defeat gracefully, but have whined and whined, and have reiused to be comforted. h- " One ease bleached iiomespuns cheaper than . ever at I {addon's.

C., August 24,1890. j , ] Last Friday was a big pleasant day In ? ae I Greenwood. The crowd was estimated by h ne good Judges, at from 2,000 to 3,000. Every oue j )n I Unit we could find got their diuuer both wblte and colored. We had six tables 100 yards , :ie j long, (measured,) and another table set at the , jg! operatives. Old uncle Geo. Tillman said in . I his speech that we had an acra of tablen. I t i never heard of a single visitor not getting bis . ?" I dinner, but to the contrary they all went t >n | away praising Greenwood. We fed not less i as | than 2.5(H) people and had six carcasses left. I The (Iheif ?f nnlir?p mu i?o?i **/ * - 1-8! trouble at nil, not a single arrest. 1 saw only ? ill | one man drunk. In a word I will Kay that or we liud a nice orderly crowd, and every body j was in a good hutnor. Uucle Geo. Tillman . !l* was the speaker of the occasion. We help . lie ! him to celebrate this his 70th birthday. He ( said lie had no prepared speech, but I pro- , nonnce it tine. He touched on the political i question of the day. that of free silver, paying Bryan a high tribute. A man that could not admire Bryan, simply did not know him. He said he had known him for a number of ,t, years and knew what wus In him. His speech e I was mostly on the ad van tnges of small counij tics. He said all old county court bouses 'y would fight new counties. He told us scotch id every wheel and believe nothing, an enetny a would say to us when they said they had jrlve up the tight. Ho said, I feel certain that 1111 Greenwood would gel her county if she con)0 tlnued to do her dnty. I could fill this letter J,! from his speech but will not. Just before i dinner Judge Karle made a very few remarks . I icuiug mo iuiuw nint utj was 11 caiiui1S date for the Unitsd State Senate. Afterdlnner jit j Hon. Mr. Glenn fioin Chester made a short ? but a pleasant aud interesting (speech. At this juncture Hon. C. A. C. Waller the chair- . Igiman of the occasion introduced Mr. J. Ii. j of! Black Jr. He addressed the people on the i ? | subject of t he cotton tire trust. He was loi- , U! lowed by Mr. Gaines of Brad leys. After thera j ilts i Hon. John Duncan, candidate for the United , q. State Senate spoke, making about the same speech he has made over the Suite. I will say . ; by way of comment that if Gov. Evans is ly | half as bati a man as he Is represented to be, 3e i he is not tho man lor the Senate. Before the in I meeting closed, the crowd called for Mr. ' I Ansel. He came forward and told the people j that he thought they had had enough speak- 1 in ing for one day, but he would net refuse to .p make them a short speech. He made us a spicy Jovial little speech, letting us know he a would like to have our votes for Solicitor. | to ' He told us if he was re-elected, for none of >r- you to come betore him for trial thinking he : would be more linient, on account of our ' tie votes, but that if he did not convict we mieht ee know the Jury did it. I forgot to state that pr Hon. Geo. Johuston made the first speech. It was a short speech of welcome. I did not 1 hear him therefore I make no comment. ' ar Taking the day all together is was a big day ' n. in Greenwood. The family reunion of my mother came off ] er as appointed laBt Thursday. To simply ?ay 1 au we una a nice time wouiu not express it. Imsir agine a larnily of seventy-six with seventy- 1 five present. One grand-son-in-law being the IS- only absent one. It may be interesting to ! od some of our trlends for me to numerate the , nf ilill'erent relationship. First, Mrs. M. <>. Major, our mother, three sons and four daugh- ' e" j ters. three son-ln-laws, three daughters-in- 1 of j laws, forty-two grand children, three grand* 1 P(i son-in-laws, three grand daughterainlaws, and fourteen great grand children, making a ; 'oi total of seventv-llve. We are not ashamed of ire I our mmny. it ik sum tnat sell-praise Is next ,v. to scandal, but 1 do way our family will com. I pare favorably with any In the country. We ue!had all the old family slaves that were In I ? reach of us present. They loo enjoyed the oeieasion. There were ninety-five or one hundred people present. We envited our pastors ' ! to be with us, but only two were nresent, K?v. I)r. Forester and Kev. Marlon Dargan. Our | dluner consisted of a nice barbecue and pic- 1 j nic dinner. It is hardly probable that we will all meet again on earth, but I hope to meet , all In heaven. Our father was Ilev. Samuel 15. Mnjor. He died December 24. 1858. He 1 i was Just 49 years old, leaving mother with 1 i several small children. i I om r.r*? <i < U ? I 1 | a ? iiwf ? 'vivtnu, UUI HI o lUUWWIlit; W?* ty- j handed me by a veteran : Some of the old veterans would like to be Informed upon what authority the pension board Issued a to | pension to one John Mitch el, colored, of 1 Greenwood. The said negro was free born its ?n true, and was with the army In the capacity 1 ! of cook, employed for a stipulated price. We I had no negro enrolled soldiers, consequently up he could not come under any head of the re(juirements whereby the board was warranted in reporting favorably in his case. I think lit-- 11 tie pension board should make an expllnatiou satisfactory to the old veterans who fuced iin th? bullets. i Mr. Editor, I close this letter by recording the death of one of the best and sweetest ire! young ladies In Greenwood, Miss Maggie i Williams. She went sometime ago to Hor, dcaux to visit ft friend, while there she was t'l j seized with that dreaded disease typhoid 1 I fever. She was brought home and lived or| about three weeks, dying Sunday morning j about six o'clock She was buried today, i Monday, in the Greenwood cemetery. She lid leaves a mother and a brother, together with .... a host of friends to mourn her death. Miss Maggie was a young lady not quite tweaty. three years old. She had tho rare virtue of capturing every one she came in contact witli. It Is a great loss to any town to loose such a smooth tempered sweet tempered girl 1 as Miss Maggie was. Tears are plentiful in iVe not a lew eyes. i a i?i?> mi; ijuiu dim iijx l ner wiuddcu uimu- | 1 ,IV er ami loving brother.

EDUCATION. * Nome Niieec<ilive Thoughts on it Vllnl (lllCMtlOIt. Subject?"Do we maintain the proper stand- .. ard in our schools?" I refer to the cause of education especially s in our schools. Indeed this subject Is one t that should command our highest admIra- . Hon and respect, and that shouM receive our * most careful consideration. Who is there T to whom so noble a cause would not appeal ? c Surely he regards not his ntfost important in- j terest who Is not attentive to the demand of education. \ Tlien let up. for a few moments, dispose our t minds for sober reflection, and see whether i we cannot obtain some Ideas and thoughts .

US==S?5SS?r-?fe!i i ^5!SSgSg=fj|{5KSy the great cause of education that should be no I near to the heart of every tree born citizen After the busy school season is over, ami after the heal of the day Ir past, It is well for us. * In the evening of repo?e, to review with calm 1 and sober minds that, which has been accom- j pllshed. and consider whether or not any ? beneficial changes oraddltionscould be made for the ensuing year. ^ As we press onward, up and down the hills [ of time, it Is the voice of reason that bids us, . when we have attained some point of eminence, to pause and take a retrospective view 1 lu order that, If need be, we may mend our 1 pace or change our course. As we cast our eye back over the vast area embraced by the Rubject before us, we see that ( It will be impossible to Include in a careful > survey the whole field at one time. So then, ( for the present, let us confine ourselves to a f small portion. On examining our schools and the attain- t ments made by the scholars, we feel inclined J to ask ourselves and those about us the question. "Do we maintain the proper stand-ird In our schools?" t And in answering this question do we not reel compelled 10 Hay inai our scnoois are u?? , altogether what, tbey should be, that the 6 progress of our children is not such as might he expected In an age whose very nature Is characterized by riipid progress? And if such be our verdict, wherein lies the difficulty, and by what means can It best and most easily be removed ? But let us discuss these questions one at the time. In the first place having conceded that there is a deficiency in the work that is being carried on by our schools to what, may we ask, is ibis imperfection, this partial failure due? against whom, 11 any, is ihe charge to be biought? Can we not find an answer to this , question by an analytic method'! What are I ho Piirwl l r iipnt elements of an v school'? Are ( ' they not the parents. the chlldreu, and last, but Dot least, the teacher? One word a? to j the twaformerand theu we will pass lor dls- ] cussion to the latter. ( i It Is a well known (act, and we lake it for . granted, disputed by no one, that a school, to [ be a success, must have the hearty co-opera- i tlon and support or the patrons and the pui plls. No teuchor, however much be may be quailtled to instruct, or whatever may be his attainments, can inakea school what it ought J to be when he Is working alone. All his best j energies may be expended and he may exert himself to the utmost of his ability, yet if he have not the endorsement, and assistance of those by whom he is employed and of those i over whom he is placed, he will Inevitably i : fall of accomplishing the end intended. Hut Instead of unity ana concord,'so essential to 1 the Interest of the school, do we not find dls- i , that Id almost every school our teachers have , troubles und difficulties of this kind to contend with? Go ask your Instructors, your z benefactors, for such they are. If this be not the ease,and they will Invariably respond in the atllrmatl ve. Then do we not justly con elude that one causo of deficiency at least lies here? Certain it is that the parent to a great extent determines the character of the child's education, not only before It has reached the ( proper age to attend school, but after It has entered upon the active duties of school life. Every day's work at school should be pre. ceeded by a corresponding amount of work at home, and this latter it is the parent's duty to see it is done, but experience tells us that this Is not the case, that the child does not receive due traluing at home, that on the contrarv. ideas have been instilled into its mind detrimental to its education. Before considering a remedy for this troable let us pass to tbe last named constituent of a school and see whether the want of advancement Is In ! any measure due to It that Is to the teacher. While, as we have said, no school can prosDer without the support of patrons and scholars. On the other hand, the extent to whlclg | a school may be efficient In educating our children Is largely determined by the character of the employed. Ana just here perhaps Is the great reason why the proper' standard j of education is not maintained as It should be. The school draws us whole intellectual , existence,we may say.from Its bead, the teach, er. Then It becomes highly Important and I necessary that we have the right kind of men . at the head of our schools. Too olten is it the , case that the patrons and dlrectorsol a school, possessed of a false idea or economy, employ to instruct their children one who lsaltogetber incompetent, simply because such a one can he had, as it is termed, at a "cheap price." How absurd is the economy involved in such a mode of acting. f#? m?p KimniK nnd untautrht men the folly here commuted is apparent. He who pays leant is by no meant* he who wins most. On the contrary he who secures the best Is he who is willing to give the most. .Seek not after cheapness with the Imperfect services necessary attending It, but see that you have the highest degree of excellence, whatever may be the cost. Every one knows thnt he who would Instruct others must himself be thoroughly capable ol so doing, or else he will become as , a blind leader of the blind. No one can tell ' others what he himself has not first learned. . Again he who has not received a complete education will never in the school room realize the Importance of the pupils receiving a higher education, and so the minds of the [ children are dwarfed and cramped to corres, pond to tho ability or their Instructor. He p who has never read Milton's Paradise Lost can never by any means whatsoever lead othr ers to contemplate the beauty and sublimity of that immortal work. He who has never perused the "Ars Poetlca" of Horace or the "Alcestis" of Euripides will never be able to Impress upon his audience the elegance of Jauguape HUU UCJJILI Ul wuugilt cujynijVM u, the auibors of these two master pieces cr lit1 erary'art; so it is with all thiugH. A teacher to be a true guide and Instructor to the young must himself have scaled the peaks of learning before he attempts to lead in* followers over the circuitous route, otherwise the exI pedition Is more than likely to be a failure. Then we conclude again that another and great cause why the standard Is not as high as it should be Is because we have not employed . in every case men competent to fill the place. : Now having fouud wherein the difficulty lies let us see what is to be the remedy, that is, we are brought to a consideration of our 1 second question, "How Is the difficulty to be . removed?" ) Having discussed the first proposition we - can very easily arrive at a satisfactory answer for the second. Each trouble suggests its own . remedy. ? When we have elected a teacher let us sup. port and endorse htm In his work, and assist > him In the education of our children, This ' having been done, where discord and opposition have reigned, harmony and satisfaction will bold supremest sway. 1. But let us first see that we have secured the ' right man to fill the place. Let us always see that we have obtained none hut flrstclass, 1 thoroughly competent instructors. ? Let higher education always be at a prem9 lutn. Ssecure those to fill your positions who have been educated up to a flrstclass stando ard. Yes, but you say that means expense, r Certainly it does, and wtiat is accomplished - ?... 1? 11 1, mr.Ihftn worth, nil 1 Will ue well j ? the expense you rauy have Incurred, for when i your child has received a flrstclass education i. he has a foundation upon which he can build for all succeeding time, one more durable i than brass, that not the flight of lime nor the ? Innumberable series of years shall ever be . able to destroy. A. \V. McWhorter. i Abbeville, S. C., Aug. 19,1S9U.

We all know tho rubbish heap, says a ; rritcr in the London MaiL Old tins, old fl hoes, dirty paper, bottles, bones?every- jr( hiug, in fact, that has served a better pur- j v lose, and ia now deemed done with, is a hrown there. When we see all this refuse j, lartecl away, the most of us have an idea jj t will be pitched into some ditch or ?omo p >laco rarely visited. But for that to be p lone is the exception and not the rule. L'he old rubbish heap?so great an eyesore j n our garden?j>crforms some very im- |j jortant functions. 0 Tho clearing away of this rubbish ig e; jencrally done by contract, but those who p xndertake tho work often make a good g, jrUlib UUt Ul in. ah > "pi j 4Hv<*p uuuci^uuo u horough sifting, and all the various things B] vhich compose it are put by themselves. ^ L'he cinders ure cartcd off to brickyards, vhere they ure ground up, and in a few b lays are converted into good, substantial d jricks. E Then all the bones, after they have left u >ur tables, ure taken to a boiling house, I _ vhero the fat and gelatin they possess are 0 ixtracted, the fat being used in the manu- \ acture of soap and the gelatin being put $ ;o a number of purposes, chiclly, however, p )eing made into those brilliantly colored { .vrappings Which enfold Cliristmas crack- c srs. The bones themselves are cut up into all fc sorts of cheap ornaments, or are often 0 jround into powder and after chemical j ;reatment make a very good tooth clean- t ng preparation. Torn and soiled paper ro- v turns to the mills, and, as a rule, becomes t )apicr mache. r Every piece of old rag is eagerly pounced c jpon. Although much of it ultimately be- j :omes paper, by far the larger proportion j ?oes to the shoddy mills. Here the filthy, r objectionable garments are reduced to a ^ pulp by a mechanical process and in the r [uturo will again do service as clothes. e Ihcro are, indeed, very few articles of ap- t parel worn which hare not some of this c shoddy in their composition. It is said that by its introduction the price of clothing has been reduced 25 per cent. r Then what becomes of all our old sauce- ( pans, salmon tins and the like? first, the e load by which they aro soldered is taken from them, and after this they are renieltsd. All pieccs of glass find a destination in the melting pot, whereas bottles, if they are not damaged, are cleaned and so put Into active use again. Gutta percha articles, which obtain a good price, aro remelted. Cabbage leaves and the like find their way to the pigs. So you see that there is very little of the rubbish heap that is not put to some purpose. On English Canals. Tho navigation of the canals, as most of us aro aware, is almost entirely dependent upon horse power, and many are the wontlerful stories told of the sagacity of these tow horses, who very soon learn their work> as well as do their drivers, and are frequently left for long distances completely to themselves. In some districts tho canal paths run on ono side for a time and then stop, being continued opposite. Where this is tho case the horses, if no bridge exists, must cross over in tho boat itself, and on one river where this changing of sides is very frequent the writer has repeatedly i seen a horse without rider or driver near i him, and with only one man in the boat, : increase his speed as he approaches the t termination of tho path, so as to give the i barge sufficient velocity to carry him ; across, await its arrival at the bank, and i i?- fulro n lonn 1 UN 11/ CUJIlUb lip uuu guua t*uuuu vuau w aboard over a space of from live to six feet. Hero ho waits patiently until he reaches tho other side, when as coolly and deliberately he leaps ashore, feels his towline and lays himself quietly to his work again. But there is live stock more directly associated with the boat than even the horse, which, after all, is but hired for a time. A cat and a dog are nearly always to be seen aboard, aud sometimes there are rabbits and a little poultry, though whence that comes it may not always do to inquire too curiously. A monkey, too, is an occasional addition to the household, while even a goat has been seen running backward and forward on tho deck as much at homo as though on his nafcivo heath.? Good Words. Women Iu Men's Parts. On June 25,1705 Congreve's '-Love For Love'' was represented at the Haymarliet entirely by women. Prominent among a motley troop of players acting at Windsor in the following year was one Susanna Carroll, who tore a passion to totters as Alexander tho Great. By a marriage with tho queen's head cook this lady subsequently became Mrs. Centlivre, under which name, as authoress of several lively 1 comedies, she is best identified now. It was written of her, on her death in 1723, that, "having a greater inclination to wear the breeches than the petticoat, she struck into the men's parts,'' one of her qualifications for which was that she "had a small wen on lier left eyelid, which gave her a masculine air." Possibly the adaptability to male roles shown by the women at the Haymarket in 1705 suggosted to Vanbrugh the ingenious plot of his comedy, "The Mistake," brought out at the same house a year later. In this Mrs. Harcourt appeared as Camillo, "suppos'd son of Alvarez," a girl who, from lack of a male heir, had been reared from her cradle as one of the opposite sex to preservo au estate. Naturally there is much playing at cross purposes, with adroit love complications, aud the whole, not to come tardy off, must have needed j deft handling on the part of the actress.?

The partisans of woman's rights will nd mucfc, to interest them in a pamphlet jcently published by Mr. Alphonse Gooaerts, the royal librarian at Antwerp, says correspondent of the Providence Journal. lany will be surprised to hear that more lian a century ago a woman for some time erformed the duties of mayor of the imost town of Namur.

According to the archives of the rivy council there can be no doubt on the abject. Mme. Maiotteau took her seat in tie municipal chair, not only by permission, but very probably at the request, of er late husband's colleagues. The town clerk, who some years later, y order of the Empress Maria Theresa, ??"' ?"> a Hot- r\f ..linn<ma In thp rtarsrm el of the town's officers from 14U0, merely (ided for the year 1734, "Bourguemaitre" -'"the widow performs the duties." The fficial reports of the time state that the fidow Malottcau accomplished her task to he general satisfaction. Moreover, a re>ort from the bishop reveals that even durng her husband's life she did most of the oayor's work. "As for the office of mayor," wTOte the ushop to his serene highness, the governor f the lowlands, "it would seem that here is some irregularity in permitting he functions to remain in the hands of a roman. Nevertheless, as this woman Is he widow of the last mayor, and as she lerformed almost exclusively all the duties if the position evon during her husband's ife; as since his death she has acquitted lerself to tlie' general satisfaction, and as, uoreover, in order that the city might pay he interest on its debt she had herself lent Doney to the town which has not yet been ntirely paid back, it is on this account, ixr he interest of the town that she should wntinuc in her present office at least for omc time." In 1738, when tho mayoress had held her >osition for fouf years, the Duke d'Ursel, governor of the province, petitioned the impress to have the office filled by a man. ButLambillou, president of the provincial iouncil, was in favor of the lady mayor Ind suggested to his fellow councilors that f the government insisted upon a man for ;he office the Widow Malotteau's young ion should be appointed, in which case the roung man's mother could continue as xeculive during her son's minority. The ?wn council's motion prevailed, and Mme. Malotteau continued as chief executive of STamurs. It was only in 1769, when the governorihip of the lowlands had passed to Prince Charles of Lorraine, that the privy council won their case. They presented as a canlidate a certain Pierre Rasquin, and at the same time issued a long statement in the jourse of which they said it was hardly to ;he best interest of Namur and the public shat the office should continue ae hereditary in the same family and, moreover, transferred from husband to wife. This jnded the reign of the lady mayor. The Modern Steam Engine. It is a matter of wonder for an old time steam engineer to go over a modern generating engine at this day and observe its many accessories. Taking one of the moet advanced, he will find lubricating devices for all joints with motion, the oil all collected by drains to one point, filtered and . cleaned, and then returned by a pump to 4 the oil cups to be again circulated automatically. The fixed bearings of high speed engines will bo water jacketed to Drevcnt heating, and there will be a world Df indicating devices for speed, pressure, vacuum, temperature and tima The condensing water will pass through filters to extract the oil' that is entrained from the cylinders, and separators are provided to catch the water in the steam. Most of these tilings have come from the sea, where economy and completeness have outrun land practice in a wonderful degree. In the steam generating elements there are the same additions and elaboration, all tending to economy, but demanding a new class of engineers with a knowledge and training that older practice did not afford ?more knowledge and less work because all things are automatic, even to firing.
