Oa the 2d May, 1886, during the great strikes in the West the Anarchists held an immense street meeting in Chicago, and delivered highly incendiary speeches from wagons agaiosfc the laws of the country. When Feilden one of the Anarchist leaders ' W- " commenced epeaking the crowd swayed excitedly backward and forward in the narrow shadowy confines of Desplaioes street, into which they had come from the open eqoare, and pressed eagerly closer to the dicker* ing gas lamp that lighted the speaker's shaggily-bearded face and powerfa] form. When he tragically urged - the wrought-up taob. standing in ' plain view of a police station, to "throttle and kill the law," the disgaised police officers in the crowd saw the necessity of prompt action, and word was passed to their commander. Capfc. Bonfield, following the plain directions of. the State law covering exactly each esses, gave orders to have the meeting dispersed. Seven companies of police, 175 men, led by^ himseffaiSd^^apt. Ward, marched in platoons, extending ^from curb to enrb, the short distance oxTStapMNNP' / street from the station to the speakers wagOD. As the police approached Fielden shouted to the crowd: "Here comes the bloodhoands. Yoa do yonr daty and I'll do* mine." Capt. Ward, in a load voice, called oat: * "In the name of the people of the State of Illinois, I command yoa to peaceably disperse." Fielden, stepping down from the wagon, gave the "rube" exclamation : "We are peaceable." Instantly a bomb was thrown, the first in free America, which killed _ 7 policemen and wounded about 60 more. The leading Anarchists, Spies, Parsons, Fielden, Eogle, Schwarb, Lingg, aDd Fisher were tried for the crime of murder. The trial lasted several months, the best legal talent of the country appearing for them. The verdict was- guilty. The ease was appealed through the higher conrts up to the Supreme court of the United States, each of which sustained the verdict. Many thousand sympathisers signed petitions to the Governor of Illinois for pardon of the convicted men. Governor Oglesby commuted the sentences of Schwab and Fielden to imprisonment in the . penitentiary for life. On Thursday morning, the day preceeding the one of execution a loud report was heard in Lingg's , call. Deputy sheriff O'Neill rushed to it and found Lingg ' and great holes in his head and his Cheeks blown out by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge which he bad placed in his own mouth an J touched off with a candle. He survived a few hours. The following is the press account of the hanging of the other four Anarchists, Spies, Parsons, Engle and Fischer, in the county jail yard in Chicago Friday last: It lacked just seven minutes and a half of the hour ol high noon when a single white-shrouded figure, above which was a face of yellowish pallor? the face of August Spies?passed the first post of the gallows. The gaping crowd, ten feet below, half rose in ?/rlr?*? fn 1? t A1 > AV\ n * fA A f fllfi i vuiuuiatiij iiuLu bugii tuciuo an iijo first glimpse of the apparition advancing across the scaffold. Spies v looked calm and glanoed at the re. porters with a trace of his old-time rsyuical smile. He walked firmly over tfcp drop, gnided by the grasp of the deputy, to the farthest edge of the gallows. Following close came Fischer, close enough to toach Spies's shrond, had his band not been . pinioned nnder the white mnslin. ? Fischer's countenance had a pecnliar L glisten, totally onlike the ashiness of Hk Engel's heavy features, and in straDge ' contrast with the dead lack of color in the pinched lineaments of Parsons. . The once jaunty, vivacious Texan, came .last, a withered /old man. He HV had aged twenly^yeais sinap the day, scarce twelve raontbjbeforerwben he tripped lightly into court before Judge Gary and flippantly declared he was ready to be tried at once for , . his life. PARSONS AS A MARTYR. 1 The moment his feet touched the 1 scaffold Parsons seemed to have completely lost his identity and to feel that his spirit was no longer part 3 of his body. He had wrought himself up to an ecstacy of solemn eelfgloriGcation. Only he, the one American, seemed to realize to the fall that he mast die in a manner to impress, if possible, ! on all future generations the thoaght that he was a martyr. No tragedian that has paced the stage in America ever made a more marvelloos presentatiou of a self chosen part, perfected in every detail. The upw ard tarn oi his ! eyes distant, far away look, and above all his attitude of apparent, complete j resignation, which every fold of the j awkward shrorfd only served to make j more distinct, was by far the mosfr j 1 striking feature of the gallows picture, j ' ft DEMEANOR OF THE OTHER THREE The squat form of Engel alongside, I 1 j** with stupid, wide-jawed face, inade a | < W hideous contrast to Parson assump- j 1 \ tion of the halo of a martyr. Fischer i was head and shoulders taller than i ihe. other three, makiDg his occasional 1 t too evident bravado more do- j 1 ticeable than they might otherwise be, and as a sorry disadvantge compared with the steady coolness or Spies. The latter's exhibition of qaiet, thoroogh nerve, far snrpaseed as a wonder the demeanor of any of bis comrades. ADJUSTING THE EOPES. C The fonr bnriy deputies, standing to the rear of the foar condemned men, began without delay to adjust the ropes,* Spies' noose being the one first placed. He did not appear to regard it of any more consequence than a new linen collar. The knot was slipped down, the cord close against his neck. Spies did not show a tremor, hot when the same process was being carried oat with Fischer he tamed and quietly whispered to the bailiff some suggestion concerning the rope. Fischer's occasional ardor was nnitft nntif.nah'v leas when he felt the hempen strand, and Engel bit bis nnderlip bard when his tarn came. LAUGHING WITH HIS NECK IN A NOOSE. Jast then Dr Murphy, a young physician standing back of Eogel, whispered a joke in Eogel's ear. Incredible as it may soem, the lowbrowed Anarchist langhed outright with the rope around his neck, and while another was being fastened on Parsons by his side. But the grotesque laugh stopped in a single instaot, and Parsons, Reekly as a saint, ^gBaifnts eyes upward at the dangling line above him. vV-TS*T;-c* 1" . \ > ' ' * PUTTING ON THE WHITE CAPS. Before the four Anarchists had an inkling of what was to be done, the white caps were deftly slipped upon their heads and drawn quickly down to their necks, shotting cff the view of each as completely and with less warning tban does toe camera clotn of a photographer. Kvf'f;" - - . DEFIANT IN DEATH. August Spies was the first of the four doomed men to make use of his wits while he could. In" a tone of intense bitterness of spirit, he, the man who wrote the infamous revenge cironlar, hissed ont between bis tightly clenched teeth: "There will come a time when onr silence will be more powerful than the voices they are strangling to death." The last syllable of Spies's concluding words, hoarse with suppressed passion, bad Dot reached the end, when Engel, raising his voice wildly, cried: "Hurrah for Anarchy!" Fischer caught the fire of the utterance and still more londly exclaimed: "Hurrah for Anarchy!" Adding: "This is the happiest moment of my life!" There was a silence like the grave, broken abruptly joy the slow, measured intonation of Parsons, like er HWj;| K&ME Of sacrifice. Not as a dying request, but rather like a command or warning, he sounded forth: "May I be allowed to speak?" Then, with slow entreaty came: "Will you let me speak, Sheriff Matson?" the drop. There was another agonizing pause. Moffled throngh the shrond broke out in unnatural hollow accents: "Let the voice of the people be heard/' . A crash as of a filling house thundered through the corridors, the sledder ropes were. taunt. In full view of the two hundred men in front were four white, writbiDg shrouds. The ropes could be s^en slowly tightening about the necks that, between the cap and shroud, could be noticed blackening and purpling. necks not broken. Nine minutes passed. Then it was known to a certainty that not a neck had been broken. The four Haymarket murderers had been literally throttled and strangled. Saluda Scintillations.

Judging by the popping of shotguns in the woods the decimation of the partridge family is proceeding in dead earnest. A large amount of cotton has been sent to market from here.

Bat none of them so far as I know expect the establishment of the Tillman Agricultural College to enable their grain to resist the cold of winter better, or cause it to ripen a folier harvest. ^ By the way, we are disposed to think that good will result from the convention of farmers held in Columbia this week. Would it not be a good idea for the farmers of Lsxington, who live immediately along the line of railroad to raise next year melons enough to establish a melon trade with the Northern and Western markets. It would doubtless pay, for the lands are well adopted to melon culture.
