A bill has been introduced in the North Carolina legislature to pro mote marriage in the State. It de clares that all unmarried men, aged 34 and upwards, are bachelors, who shall be taxed $10 for the first year of bachelorhood and the tax to be doub led each succeeding year of bachelor hood, the tax to go to the school fund. A member of the Michigan legisla ture recently dined at a hotel and ras handed a bill of fare printed in French. Being unfamiliar with the language, he ordered five articles on the bill boping be bad struck some thing he would like. To bis disgust when the waiter brought the dishes ordered he found he bad potatoes cooked iu five different styles and nothing else. He bas. since introduc ed a bill into the legislature providing that bills of fare in public dining room? must be printed only in the "English language. Trying to be happy is like tryii go to sleep.

We are to have, it seems, a substitute for potato in the Chinese artichoke recently introduced from Japan. Accordiug to the Philadel phia Record, it is "fully equal to the potato as food and yields twice as many bushels per acre. It grows to the height of about twelve in ches, the tubers buing formed like four or five round radishes grow ing together. The tubers are I more nitrogenous than the potato ; they require no peeting, as the skin is very thin and they also keep well in winter. It is said that a single plant has been known to produce 200 tubera and the crop yields 500 bushels per acre." Add to this that the tubers can be cooked in as many ways as the potato. BENJAMIN B. TILLMAN. A South Carolinian Analyzes His Character. i Editor Augusta Chronicle : Now, since the somks of battle has cleared from the field civic ; since bitterness has ceased to exist between the warring political factions in this State, and since both reformers and conservatives seem to have met on the common ground of "peace and unity," and are now striving together for the betterment of the Commonwealth, it seems meet to recount the deeds of our great leader, B. R. Tillman, and to give to him a just tribute of praise. "Honer to whom honor is due," and justice even to au enemy, cannot be objected to by any honest, fair-mined, intelligent man. It is not necessary to relat what Senator Tillman has done for South Carolia, for 11 at is known of all men within the irders of the State. My purpose it o speak of him in the light of int events, and particularly ii onnection with the Chicago c< mtion. It t&Ted tc d*5?r- . siths '. cours '.?. th? Senate his erTot*"*to L?M?yy.V:y. A H o ding Fl frew! r* Worid, r..;ier hs had ra*, iv fis j great spe?vjp i-., th's Sacate, me1 ! whispered va lyst?&? ....M*.?; : ie! Catiline had arisen." Tillman had told the truth, and had not been too seleet in the use of his words. He called as pade a spade a thief a thief, anda traitor traitar., Bnt in so doing he mortal ly offended the dignity of the Sen ate, and no epithet was too opprobri ous to be applied to the now fam ous Carolinian. His enemies de clared that it was one of his old campaign speeches, which he had delivered on the hustings in South Carolina, and which was rehashed for the occasion, Wasnot that the very thing that he should have done? It too often happens that the men whom the people have elected to Congress say one thing to ?heir constituents and quite a dif ferent thing when they get to Washington. But Tillman was too honest to deceive his people. What he told them, he told the country and the world, and ou ac count of his honesty, his sincerity and his integrity, his memory will live forever in their grateful hearts. We are told that Senator Till man made the mistake of his life at Chicago, and not one voice has been lifted in his defense. Nearly every newspaper declared that he had missed the chance of a life time, and that he did not measure up to the occasion." It will be remembered that a majority of ihe notional Democratic executive committee were gold standard men. lt will be remembered that Whitney and Hill, gold standard men from New York, were mem bers of that committee. It was left to them to say who should be admitted to the galleries, and it is a well known fact that the j[gal leries were packed with gold standard sympathizers. Hill, a gold mau from New York, was applauded: Tillman, a silver man from South Carol iana was hissed. Allow me to say, with all possible emphasis, that if Till man had ''measured up" to any such occasion as that, he would not have represented South Oaro lina. We did not send him to Chicago to placate a gold standard audience ; we sent him there to re present a free silver constituency. Tillman was regarded as the great tribune of the common peo pie, as the "new Catiline" that had arisen to shake the founda tions of the republic. When he he failed to get the nomination for President, the New York World sent up a shout of joy, and de clared that, if the republic was to be detroyed, it was certain that Tillman would'notlead the hosts of disintegration. This shows that the moneyed aristocracy of the country regarded Tillman as th^e man they had to destroy. If he should be elected President, they know that their cause would be lost, and they preferred to to take the chances with some other man. it was but natural that the money power should attempt to destroy the great leader thit South Caro lina sent to the front in the hour or the nation's need, and in the hour of the natiou'e peril. Senator Tillman has been severely criticised for saying in the Chicago convention taat he was from "the home of secession." I have read that speech, and I am prepared to say. that, if he had been permitted to finish the sen tence, and had not been inteiupted by hisses, he would have made a declaration that even his enemies would have applauded. I am sat isfied that he intended to say that secession is a thing of thu past, and that South Carolina is in the Union to stay. Orit might have beon his purpose to declare that the fact that his State seceded shoud not destroy her pre stige or militaie against him. But the galleries which were packed by Whitney and Hill, did not al low him to express himself as he desired, and the country has been misled as to what he intended to say. But suppose that Senator Till man did declare that he was from "the home of seccession?" Waa it a crime to secede? Are South Carolinians ashamed of the part they took in the m^pt gigantic struggle the world ever saw? I for one will never blush because our fathers fought for their liberties, for their altars and their fires, and won fame and re nown on a thousand fields of glory under the red battle flag of the Confederacy. Some of Senator Tillman's critics are fond of saying',that he should not have referred to the is ! sue as a sectional one. It will no I doubt gratify them to be told that he did not say that the issue was sectional in a geographical sense. What he did say was that it was an issue between different sections of the people-between the rich and the poor. But when we re member that nearly all the rich live in one section, and nearly alii the poor in another section, il; looks very much as if geography had something to do with it after all ; and if Senator Tillman had the issue to be sectional, he would have told nearly the exact truth. Instead of South Carolina having a big load to carry in Senator Till man he had a big load to carry in Carolina. When the South Carolinian stepped on the platform at Chi cago, his enemies say that he "looked like the incarnation of ihe mob." That is the highest compliment that could possibly be paid any man who is born of woman. It might have been said of Tillman when he stood facing his enemies ot Chicago, like the spirit of battle, immovable and defiant, thet he was "the likeness of one stepped from the tragic stage;" but knowing the man as T J-.'r r. ?.Ih ~..d '.}?? ? th:. ..bald .' ; . . extravagant EC gayth?M ;; . tb? 's/n?' -sc ?iv:isg 801 th ''tv c?-M WM::M .b . . ?ad foir vyhooj. ii necessary, they would hurl their | lives against the pikes and die. I say this without wishing to dis parage Hampton or Butler or any other chivalric son of South Caro lina. Hampton and Butler reached the zenith of their renown when they followed the red banner of the South on tho battle fields of Virginia. They have served their country as membersof thj "highest legislative body 00 earth." They have had their day ; they have passed the meridian of their fame. It is, therefore, in no disparage ment of them, that I speak of the man whose star is now in the as cendancy, and declaro him to be par excellence a leader of men the idol of the people of South Carolina.

Progressive Euchre. In his charge to the grand jury of Boone county, Judge Green took occasion lo give his ideas of the difference between progressive eu chre, as known to society, and gambling. I don't know anything about progressive euchre, but I, know that when two "one gallus feHowB play cards for money or othei property, down in a hollow, that i? gambling. Progressive means ad vancing, and when parties clad ic silks and satins, broadcloth, dia monds, gold watches and gold chains, meet in a parlor and plaj a eeries of games, and upon the re sult of the series the property it the prizes changes ownership, J think the game has progressed verj far from the "one-gallus" in th? hollow, but it is still gambling. 1 if : ""J'>''"^'wanwUBMJMM liDEATH OF JUDGE BACON. i Long and Distinguished Life J at an End. Munabia Register, Feb. 20. After an illness of some dura tion, Judge Juhn E. Baoon died at the Columbia Hospital yesterday morning at 7 o'clock. Dr. Talley, who attended Judge Bacon, said tho judge had for some time been sufiering from kidney trouble and was removed from his home to the hospital for treatment. The re mains will probably be taken to Edgefield to-day for in terme nt, but ai what hour the funeral traiuwill leave, could not be as certained lagt night. Judge John E.. Bacon was 70 years of age. He was the son of John Bacon, Esq., who married a Miss Bacon, daughter of Mr. Ed mund Bacon, a distinguished ora tor and lawyer of his day. After the death of Judge Bacon's father, hie mother married the late Rev. Mr. Wigfall, an Episcopal clergyman of Edgefield. She still survives him, at a very advanced age, and now resides with her son, Mr. James T. Bacon, editor of the Edgefield Chronicle, the only jiv ing brother of the subject of thia sketch, Judge Bacon was married twice. His first wife was Miss Pawnee Butler, elde8C daughter of the late Gov. P. M. Butler, who was killed at the head of his regiment at Cherebusco, in Mexico. His sec ond wife, who survives him, was M?BS Rebecca Pickens, daughter of the late Governor Pickens, the first war governor of South Caro lina. Governor Pickens was appoint ed by President Buchanan minis ter to Bussia in 1857, and Judge Bacon was secretary of legation at St. Petersburg under Minister Pickens. It was at the Russian capital that he married his second wife. In 1866 Judge Bacon was elect ed to the bench of Edgefield Coun ty. This offico he held until it was abolished during the Radical regime in 1868. After this he was for many years the law partner of the late ex-Chancellor Carroll. Their office was at Edgefield Court House, where they enjoyed a large and lucrative practice. Just prior to the war, Mr. Carroll removed to Columbia, and the partnership was disaolved. After the war Judge Bacon formed a partnership with Gen. M. C. But ler under the firm name of Butler & Bacon. Later on Judge Bacon removed from Edgefield to Colum bia, and became associated in the practice of his profession with Col. William Wallace, the present postmaster, and the late Mr. A. C. Moore, the firm name reading Wallace, Bacon & Moore. At the beginning of President Cleveland's first administration in 1885-h? appointed Judpe Ba? winch a? nr.a ppen &p> '?tl' ?, : .)

He was a gentleman wide ly known, and highly esteemed, and his loss will be deep.y de plored by the community at large. He leaves two sons, the eldest now living in Edgefield and the other in New York. Death of Hon. John E. Bacon We were- surprised to learn of the death of Hon. John E. Bacon. He had not been in good health for some years, but his fatal ill ness was to many of his friends here unlooked for. He was one of the most accomplished of Southern men and a diplomatist of a fa mous school. He came from a family noted for courage and in tellect. He was connected by mar riage with families of renown. He upheld the honor and reputatim of his kindred and his common wealth, at home and abroad, in places of distinction and responsi bility. His life was a busy aud impressive one. His death com pletes a career that descendant! will cherish and his friends ad mire.-Augusta Chronicle.
