THOS. 1 ADAMS. PROPRIETOR. EDGEE?ELD, S. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1892. VOL. LVII. NO. 13. A SC ..That passed over, and this may, too." If any sorrows have come and gone,* Fain ha? tarried-and theo, passed on. .That passed over, a:id this may, too.'* G9ds ls the song I would sing to yon. Now ''hat trial has come oace more. '.> To ve conquered pain in the days of yore, .'luat passed over, and this may, too." ID he feel tri umphant? Did he feel . bitterly ashamed? Was he glad? Was he sorry? ?, Will Spencer asked himself these questions over and over, wearying of* the repeti tion, and yet nevar able to end it by Baying heartily that he was glad and triomphant, or bitterly that he was norry and ashamed. The plain fact stared him ever in the face, that Helen Baymond did not love him, and that Hrs. Baymond had urged his suit, and exerted her maternal influence and eloquence until Helen had consented to be his wife, telling him very frankly that her heart was in the grave of her lover, George Vanhorn, who had been killed in a railway collision nearly one jear before. v "Mother was never willing I should marry George," Bielen said, sadly, "because he was poor, and we have suffered all that poverty can inflict. He waa on his way to Colorado, where his brother had bean successful, when he was killed." . Will Spencer winced, for he was stich, very rich, but then he put to the "wound that soothing salve, "I will win her love when she is my wife," that hag wrecked so many lives, lt may eS^, this love that will not be hid den, to a man and wife after they are bound together for life, but the.risk is great, and Will Spencer knew it. Yet he cherished the delusion that love in the end would win a return,' and he knew his o v. n love to be strong and enduring. He had stepped back when George Vanhorn was met with such a smile as he could never win, had kept from pressing his suit when the name of Helen's lover ap peared on the ?3t of the killed 'in the account of the railway collision, but after the lapse 'of several months he ! had won Mrs. Baymond to his side, ^and so, by proxy, wooed Helen and won-what? a cold, reluctant consent to be his wife. - Yefr she was not cold, thie girl of [ twenty, whoso heart had seemed crushed ever since the day when George Vanhorn's name was recorded as dead. He could have told how her eyes could soften with love's tender ness, her cheeks burn with love's blushes, her low, sweet, voice tremble with love's whispered words. He had won what all the Spencer gold, the riches of long generations, could not buy. In the "long ago" the Eaymonds had held wealth, too, but Helen's father, to use the expression of his brother, had "muddled away two for tunes, somehow," and had died a pau per. Helen was but a child then, and her mother was sufficiently wise to "fit her for a teacher," by a course of ju dicious education, for which her uncle 2>aid. And Helen, nervous, sensitive, quick in ieeling, impulsive in speech, was about as unfit for a teacher as a girl could be. Still she trudged about in all weather to instruct such pupils in music and French as she could pro cure, and helped her mother shoulder the thousand and one cares of a board ing-house when she was at home. Before that fatal railway collision she wasya'bright, beautiful girl, with large, expressive, brown eyes, r, voice of music, thc; step of a fairy, singing as a bird sings, from sheer joyousness of heart, bringing a jest to all the house hold worries, laughing merrily over her own blunders in the culinary de partment, turning old dresses, renov ating ?ld bonnets without a complaint, living on love and hope. After that day she moved about slowly, her oyos dull and weary, he* duties met with rigid mechanical pre cision, her lips compressed, her cheeks pale, a shadow of her joyous self, And it made Will Spencer furious he could not break this icy calm. All la vain he brought her costly gifts, taok her to every place of amusement where he could coax her to go, was her cpenly devoted slave. The few words cf thanks she spoke were dull, her smile was on her lips only, and and her eyes did not brighten. By no device could he call up one flash of her old joyousness. She sang for him, selecting difficult overtures that proved her proficiency, displayed a charming voice, nothing more. Never did she sing the old ballads that George Van horn had loved, when she threw her heart into every line, and made her ryes misty with her thrilling tones. Yet she was grateful, and spoke often of her own regret that she so poorly repaid all Will's tenderness. She tried not to . shrink from his caresses, to give back something of the warmth of his love, and then, in the privacy of her own room, wept scalding tears over her own faithless ness. Mrs. Baymond was often afraid that she would yet miss the golden prize she had partly won, and heartily sec onded Will in his preparations for a speedy wedding, tft was Mrs. Bay mond who went with him to open the house that he had bought to adorn for his bride, who aided him in the selec tion of carpets, curtains, furniture, and gave him instructions regarding the kitchen department,- of whose needs he was as ignorant as most young bach elors. It was Mrs. Baymond who re ceived an anonymous letter containing a liberal sum, which she quietly ap propriated for a trousseau and a suita ble dress for the bride's mother. She w?s a woman of rare tact. Hav ing won Helen's consent to be Will Spencer's wife, she never bothered her by complaints about her listless in difference to her lover or her future prospects. She simply made all the arrangements for her, without once, .Na Who forgets that the sties are blue. In dreary seasons of f OR and rain? To-morrow the wind may sift again.

Haughton, in Youth's Companion. VO LOVERS. I SHEILDS. admitting a possibility of change. The betrothal was spoken of on all occa sions, the preparation of the house, the seleotion of the trousseau referred to in matter-of-fac*; words that made Helen, feel, as it was intended she should, that she had walked into a net from which there was no escape. And "Will Spencer knew it all, and writhed under the knowledge, being a frank, loyal man, whose impulses were generous and honorable, and who loved Helen with all the strength of his heart. Often he asked himself how he could endure life, ;f he found his wife a faithful f;lave, instead of the happy companion he hoped to make her. "If she never loves me !" he thought, bitterly. "If all my love fa;ls to win hers, what will my life be?" He did her justice. He knew that if his love failed to win her heart, his gold was powerless to make her happy. He knew that if her mother died or could not be benefited by her mar riage, she would rather beg her bread heraelf than be his wife. While matters stood in this unsatis factory state, Mrs. Raymond made a suggestion: "I want you to go away for a month,'* she said to him, "and let Helen miss the constant devotion that she ha3 had ever since your be trothal. Let lier v.?el that a. void has come into her life, and how dull and cheerless it would be if she lost you. The wedding day is set for June 10, and this is ApriL Stay away until the 5th or 6th of June." It seemed to him good advice, and he had business in the West that would fill his time profitably. It gave him the first really happy moment of his engagement, when Helen said, gently, ytet with a shudder : "I cannot bear to think of you on railway trains, Will. Write often,that I may know you aie safe." Her lips met his in a tender pres sure, such as a loving, sister might be stow, but with far more affection than she had ever before given him. Was he winning her? The hope made this unexpected absence endurable, and for two weeks life held more pleasure than it had done ia all the days of his courtship. Then came a blow, sudden, sharp, overwhelming! He was in a large 'Western city, when, after night, re turning to his hotel, a man on crutches asked for charity. The voice was familiar, and, in a shock of horror, the face struck him. One gasping cry . escaped nim: "George Vanhorn!" The man would have hurried away, but he followed .easily. "Let me go, Spencer!" the cripple pleaded. "I did not recognize you! Don't you know I am dead?" "I know you aro coming in here with me," Will said, gently, substitut ing his arm for one of the crutches, and entering the hotel where he had a room. "Steady, now!" and he led him, feeling how he trembled, until he had him seated in a great arm chair in his room, and felt his heart stirred with deep compassion at the havoc pam and poverty had made. He would not let his guest speak until he had ordered a supper and made him comfortable. Thtn, turn ing to him, he saw 'that he was weep ing. "See what a woman you make of me!" the poor fellow said. "You thought I was dead?" "Yes! All your friends think so." "It was a narrow escape, and I wonder why 1 was spared. Nine months in a public hospital havo left me crippled and incurably ill. They would not keep me after I could get about on crutches, but I Lave begged or starved, and it will not be for long! I would not let any one know for fear it would get to-to-H?len!" "Yon want to hide from her?" "Yes-yes! What would her life be tied komine? You will ?ot betray me, Spencer?" "But you may recover." "No! I should be only a wreck if I could, but I cannot. ? have internal injuries that the cold and hunger of last winier have increased, fatally." Will Spencer literally could not speak. Thia man asked of him only the silence that would give him his wife. Could he let Helen remain in ignorance of this strango adventure tho memory of her old love might die away in tiine. When he could speak again ho led the conversation to Helen. He was very frank, telling George Vanhorn how truly he had been mourned, but saying nothing of his own hopes, and it was easy to see 'how' George had loved her, how utt3rly self-sacrificing his silence had been. To spare her pain he hud kept from her all knowl edge of his own sn fieri ng. But his pride yielded to Will's en treaties to be allowed to befriend him. He was very weak, very ill, and he al lowed Will to get him a pleasant room in a quiet boarding-house, to furnish him with necessary ciothing, to en gage a doctor, and to take a brother's place beside him. And then true, unselfish love tri umphed. "She will never marry me," Will thought, ruefully, as he folded a long, long letter, "but she shall not be cheated out of what little happiness Ufe may still hold for her." He wrote, too, to Mrs. Raymond, a letter that caused that respectable lady to grind her teeth, but which she obeyed, packing her trunk and accom panying Helen in tho journey west ward. If was Will Spence r who met the two at the depot, and accompanied them to ttye boarding-house, where he kept Mrs. Raymond in the parlor after sending Helen upstairs alone. It was Will Spenoor who smoothed away every I difficulty, engaging rooms for mottet and daughter, and quietly effacing him* soif. It was far too long a story to try tc record the three months that followed. G eorge Yanhorn was resolute on one point. He would not marry Helen. He had no hope of recovery, but if the unexpected should happen he would not risk mining Helen's life by bind ing it to his. "Oh," she would cry, "what am I to deserve the love of two such men? Mother, it humbles me to think how they love me!" And by this love her courage was sustained through the fhree months, when she and her mother smoothed George Vanhern's path to the grave. Such happiness as could be hers, she knew that she owed to Will Spencer, who showed his love only by his caro of the invalid. He never spoke of love to her, giving her up entirely, but upon her lover he lavished every kind ness wealth could procure, or friend ship dictate. He gave him a brother's devotion until the last parting came, and when he was laid in the cemetery Will Spencer took Helen and Mrs. Raymond back to their home and left them. It was three years later when ho came home from a European tour and called on Mrs. Raymond. "The oid lady, sir, is dead," tho servant told him, an' Miss Helen's liv in' in-street. Maybe yees didn't hear she's come into some money from her uncle, sir, and Mrs. Grady, she's took this house, sir." Come into 6ome money! Well, she did not need him. He would wait awhile. But in a few days a little note reached him: "It was unkind to letme hear of your return by accident. Will you not come to see me?" Would he not? And when he went he could not keep the love out of his eyes or his voice, and she-at last! Her eyes drooped nuder his gaze, her cheeks blushed for him, her voice faltered, with tenderness He had won his bride! And he had no secret hidden from her.loving eyes, no treachery he would dread to have her discover. By the frankness he had thought would alienate her forever he had won he? true, faithful love, a devotion as entire as that she had given in her girlhood to the man he had so nobly befriended.

The suggestion is advanced thai perhaps the ultimate field of acetylene will be ia the lighting of lighthouses and on board ships. Its compactness and the ease with which it can bo stowed away is the form of carbide and ease of generation of the gas, to gether with great brilliancy, and point to its adaptability for this purpose. The "stopping" qualit?s of the Le* Metford rifle, now in use in the Brit ish army, has been the subject of much comment ever since tho Chitrai campaigu. The bullet used was there found of very little use in stopping the rush of a determined body of fa natics. This will not be the caso in future, it is stated, as a new bullet has been invented, the quality of which are said to be undoubted. A recent discovery that practical men as well as scientists approve is the complete transformation of wood into gas. The product has a power four times greater than that made from bituminous coal. Its value lies in adaptability as a motive power, which can be applied to the produc tion of ceramics, in glass manufacture, for Bessemer hearths, and like indus tries. Rich in carbonic oxide a3 it is, the gas is available for the manufac ture of oxalic acid and other chemi cals, and, it is said, at a very consiti? ?rable saving in cost. The jt?Joctrlcnl Plano. A piano on an entirely new principle is announced from Germany. The strings are stretched across the sound ing board as in the ordinary ?nano, but the entire hammer mechanism is ab sent. Instead, the depressing of the key puts in action a magnet, which au tomatically attracts and releases the wire, thus producing vibrations with out the metal lio stroke which accom panies the sound in tho common type. The resulting effect upon the tones is said to be very remarkable. The high notes resemble those of an jEolian harp. The middle and lower notes are like a 'cello or au organ. It responds readily to every variation in power and expression. A note can bo sounded for several minutes without varying in quality. So radically different from all existing instruments are the effects that a new style of music is needed to bring out its capabilities.-Illustrated American. Tlmbuctoo.

Hie Ghost and War Dances Potent Causes of the Red Men's Uprising-While Smoking the Pipe of Fellowship In dian Oratora Arouse the Warlike Spirit. It is the custom, upon the occasion of each Indian uprising at any of the Western agencies, to assign some special cause, differing according to the circumstances, for the outbreak. In the case of the Cheyennes, who have been making trouble at the Tongue Eiver Agency in Montana, it is said that the disturbance originated in the murder of a sheep herder by the Indians because they feared that h? would inform against them for A GROUP OF SIOU: cattle stealing. There can usually be found, of course, some incident upon which to fasten the outbreak, but the real cause of the Indian troubles lies deeper than this. At certain times, as the red man himself says, "Injun's heart gets bad." Very often, declares the New York Tribune, this occurs in the spring, when the fresh, new grass has put the ponies into perfect condition and when the mild weather has caused thc ponies' masters to shake oft' their winter lethargy. Then the aforesad "bad" feeling manifests itself, and the In dians desire nothing: so much as to go LOW DOG. (A Sioux with a very bad record.) forth and kill. The killing of human beings would bo preferable, as furnish ing more excitement, but hunting, if it is good enough, offers a substitute which may be accepted. Thus, as long as the buffaloes lasted they pro vided a means of outlet for the Indian's surplus destructive energy, but now this resouroe has disappeared and there is no other legitimate hunting to comparo with it. So, when the coun cil's and the dances have aroused every particle of warlike spirit in the hearts of the young" braves, what more nat ural than that it should be found easy to pick quarrels, and that the thirst for the white man's blood, once ac wniTE (A Cheyenne leador prominent quired, should often take a long time to quench? The ghost dances and the war dances held in the spring aro always more effective than those at other times of the year. The Indiaus are pleased at the thought of being able to hold them out of doors again, after the close con finement which the cold of a Dakota or Montuna winter enforces. An extra amount ol' vigor is infused into the savage lind grotesque contortions of the dancers, and the spectators gaze as if they could not see enough of these movements,, whioh are suggestive to them of the highest type of valiant daring. But it is perhaps after the dance is ended, wien the warriors are seated around ia a circle on the ground, that the fighting desire is worked up most surely aid powerfully among them. The pipe of g. od followship is first passed insilence, each Indira taking only two or three puffs, and tnen hand ing it on to his next neighbor. Just here it is interesting to note that the red man does not smoke after the man ner of hittwhite?brother. In th? whole circuit which the pipe makes its mouth L GHOST DXtCERS. piece is nev*r wet. The Indian merely lays the end of the stem against his lower lip anfl, with his mouth partly open, draws a deep breath. Remov ing the pipe, he exhales this smoke, and then perhaps lays the stem to his lip for a second puff, but never does he put the mouthpiece into his month, in the common white man's fashion. If asked to smoke a jieace-pipe after a white man he first -wipes oft' the end of the pipestem wlidre it1 - ^?n in the orn vious ?moker's i . To returMtc formed after the no was said; '.

The fact that the Indian habitually represses his emotions need lead no one to doubt their strength, and the amount of pent-up energy which is expressed in the attitudes of these young braves is enough to make the civilized spectator shudder as he thinks of the savage expression it might find. At the conclusion of the speaking af ter all the famous men of the band have recited similar experiences to those of the first orator, the excitement is intense. Then it is, and sometimes for many days afterward, that the Indians are to be dreaded, for they are ready to seize upon almost any pretext to pick a quarrel with the whites. It is the opinion of many people experienced in Indian affairs that nearly all of the difficulties arise from this uncontrollable lighting ardor of the young men of the tribes. They have heard their fathers tell so often the glorie ! killing the white men twenty 3 irs ago, at the time of the Custer ma. sacr a and other noted fights, that they feej i?s if they must also achieve something of tho sort or for feit a reputation for bravery. An Indian face which is the very type of cruelty and cunning is that of the Sioux Low Dog, here reproduced. His nature does not belie his name, either, for he committed, several years ago, a particularly horrible murder upon a United States mail carrier. The unfortunate man was going to Fort Buford, on the line between North Dakota and Montana, and near BULL. In the recent disturbance?.') the junction of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers, whea Low Dog at tacked him. Not content with plun der and the mere killing, the savage' Sioux resorted to the most dreadful species of Indian torture, and his vic tim, though still brerJhhig when found, was mutilated and his flesh was burning in several places. Owing to a not uncommon conflict between the civil and military authorities, Low Dog was never brought to punishment. A knited States Marshal came down from Helena with a warrant for the murderer's arrest, but as the officer commanding at the reservation re garded thia as an infringement upon the military rights, nothing could be accomplished. Low Dog is now living at one of the agencies in Montana, and has rather subsided since this conspicuous achievement in his career. Suoh a deadlock as the foregoing, between the Army and the State officers seem s difficult to avoid, judging by the fre quency with which it has occurred. White Bull, whose portrait is like wise given, is a well-known leader. It was his band, numbering 125, that es caped from the Tongue River Agenoy and betook themselves to the hills on the Tongue River, near Ashland. There are many points of similarity between the Cheyennes and Sioux, and they have not infrequently joined on the warpath. It is often stated that the Indians who took part in the battle of the Little Big Horn were all Sioux, but it has been proved that they were assisted by a considerable band of Cheyennes. MOVING A BIC 'CHIMNEY. Tall Structure Conveyed Nearly 1000 Feet Over Bough Roads. There are two ways of moving a ohimney. One way, and that usually followed, is to tear it down carefully and rebuild it in the desired place. This utilizes only the brick and means a great deal of labor. The other method of moving a chimney is to handle it much as a house would be handled and to move it bodily and without tearing it down, by putting it on skids. This latter method was followed by a firm of contractors of Binghampton, N. T., in moving a chimney for the Manhanset Improvement Company at Manhansett, Hu Y. The chimney is eighty-five feet high and seven feet square at the base. It weighs nearly one hundred tons, and yet it was moved a distance of 950 feet over rough roads and up and down steep grades without injury or accident. TALI, GHXMMEX SUCCESSFULLY MOVED 950 FEET. But six men were required to do the work. One horse attached to a wind lass furnished the needed power. The accompanying picture, from a photograph reproduced in tho Scien tific American, shows the style of braces used and the sort of sled on which the chimney was moved. The skids were well greased on the bottom, and the rate of progress was so fast that but nine days elapsed from the time work was begun until the chimney was securely located in its new foundation. A Church's Historic Memorial. The old Dutch Reformed Church, on Norfolk street, near Stanton, in the very heart of the packed tenement district of the lower East Side of New York, is to be destroyed, and a dwell ing house is to be erected in its place. In the last century two of the church's most prominent members were John Jacob Astor, the founder of the Astor family, and the famous Baron Steuben. In the vestibule of the church, set into tho wall, is a tall mar ble memorial, on which is inscribed the following: ; Sacred to the memory of ; : Fred'k WlU'm Aug's Baron Steuben, : ; a German, : : Knight of tho Order of Fidelity, : ; Ald-do-Camp to Frederick the Great, : ; King of Prussia; : ; Major-General and Inspector-General : ; in the Revolutionary War. : : Esteemed, respected and supported by '. : Washington, he gave Military : ; ?kill and Discipline to the : Citizen Soldiers ' who I (fulfilling tho Decrees of Heaven) '. : Achieved tho Independence of the I : United States. : ; The highly polished manners of the : ; Baron were graced by the most noble : j feelings of the heart.

Along with the white brigade and clean streets, the Street Department will have bag carts to be used by the street sw?epers. Bag carts are something new in the West. They are little two-wheeled push cart? arranged to hold a large jute bag. The street cleaner deposits sweepings in the bag as dirt is gathered from the pavement, and when the bag is filled ties it up and lays it on the curb to be hauled away and emptied. Each cart is provided with half a dozen bags. They answer the purpose better than the little dump carts, doing away with dust and facilitating the cleaning WOrk.-Kansas City Star. Don't believe that every one;else in the world is happier than you. U. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. A Pretty Custom. The practice of putting little flag for purpose of identification in the var ious plates of sandwiches served at tea? and receptions is an American adapta tion of a long-prevailing London cus tom. Over there, as here, sandwiches have multiplied to the point of confu sion, and a card is used and is really necessary to label the various combi nations. At a simple day "at home" in New York usually only two kinds o? sandwiches are served, the maid offer ing a choice between a sweet and a salt trifle of bread and filling. Ant and Antidote. Under the suggestive headline, "Ant and Antidote," the Prudential Review, of Newark, says: "House keepers in warm climates or elsewhere, whose provisions are raided by the small but persistent red ant, may be glad to learn of a very efficient pre ventive. Pieces of ordinary tape are dipped in a little corrosive sublimate, dried, and tied around the bottoms of cake-boxes or the legs of tables or re frigerators, which it is desired to guard. No ant, whether wise or fool ish, will cross such a harrier, and eat ables or sweets so protected are abso lutely safe. Of course, care must be taken not to put the tape or any boxes so protected within the reach of chil dren, as the corrosive sublimate on the tape is a poison."

Among fifty wayu of utilizing them, here if one: Fasten in the lower barrel-head securely. Take out the upper one to allow a shelf to be fastened in the mid dle, which should follow the line of barrel, excepting on one side, where the circle must be squared. When this shelf is securely set in, fasten the second barrel-head back again, and tighten all the hoops. Now saw out a generous-sized door in the centre ol the barrel. When it opens, the shelf with its square side should stand across the middle of the opening. Put hinges on the door, and then you have a com fortable little pantry for cottage use, or, if wash-stands are not plentiful, this invention will serve admirably as one if draped so that the barrel shape alone is visible. A Turkish towel, or, better yet. towelling cut in a circle, will cover the barrel-top nicely, and protect the drapery below.-Harper's _.??a ?even pounds strain ing tho soap, while hot, after it ie made.

A singular instance of the way in which large corporations are now able to economize by keeping within them selves the profits which formerly went to outside industries is seen in the management of an extensive English railroad. There is hardly a thing needed on the line, from a locomotive to a printed label, that is made for it by people not belonging to the com pany. It makes its own artificial legs.
