jWWMMB?WmW'al^riljBillll'iail3nMBaWWMBH?nc The Lexington Dispatch j Wednesday, June 15, 13G4. The Free Bridge. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I see a great deal written about j the free bridge across the Saluda to j Lexington, but nobody says where it i should be built. I think that this j should be discussed and aho what it ! i would cost and who are to be bene- j fited. Some think that if only one [ bridge is to be built it should be in the centre of the line from Newberry to Columbia. That will be no acfnr tho npnnlft of tl}6 UUUIUiUUOIlUU IV! jrvvf lower end of the Fork neither to those of the upper end. It will be jasfc like the railroad tax?you live on the ! road you get the benefit? ycu livecff and help pay the taxes and get none, j Can a man afford to ride nine or ten ! miles rather than pay 15 cents to ; cross either at Loriek's or Wyses j ferry. I say not. It will benefit j only the few near the bridge. Then there is no place suitable for a bridge near the centre without bridging twice or three times the width of the river. I say to the Commissioners to go slow in the matter and weigh the question well. J. M. Shealy. | ^ _ What Becomes of the Lawyers. Champe S. Andrews, a New York lawyer, found waiting in his office for him a client named Hulett, from Ogdensburg, says the New York Times. According to Mr. Hulett's previous account of some tangles, which he wanted Andrews to j straighten out, he had been vietim- j ized by shrewd and unscrupulous \ lawyers in the vicinity of his home town. Therefore he had small regard for members of the bar as a class. "I am sorry I kept you waiting, j Mr. Hulett," said Mr. Andrews. "I've just returned from the funeral of a lawyer." "What! Do you bury lawyers down heref exclaimed Hulett. "Why, certainly," said Mr. Andrews. "What do you do with them in Ogdensburg?" "When 0D6 dies up there, was the j 1 ?/Mlt rkVk/3 S0I6Q111 rejjl)', wo iajf litLu uuu auu leave the body all alone in a room, with the door locked and the windows wide open. And when we go in the next morning he is gone.'' "What becomes of him ? Who carries him away V "Don't know," answered Hulett, "but invariably there is a strong smell of brimstone left in the room." Our Russian Minister. Berlin, June 9 ?Reports from re liable sources state that Ambassador i McCormick has been severely persecuted by St. Petersburg society be- ! cause of American sympathy with Japan. The ambassador has since ' arrival in the Russian capital, resided in the Leuchtenburg palace, one of I the most magnificent residences in the city. Now, however, he has received notice from the owner to quit, j The owner is related to the Russian imperial family, and is reported to have said, "My ancestors would turn in their graves if they knew their : family home was inhabited by a rep- \ resentative of a countrv which has i shown itself hostile to Russia." Society, according to the report, is boycotting the McCormick family in every way. Russian anger is said to I have been increased by the American ambassador and consuls undertaking Japanese interests after the outbreak of the war. j A "Blaze Face" ITegro. Newberry Observer. There is a colored girl about two months old on P. C. Smith's Bailey : place that is a genuine curiosity. Its i parents are both black?the father J decidedly so. The child has a white j spot in its forehead just in the front j of the hair that is perfectly white, ! larger round than a silver dollar?the hair and skin there both being white, j From this round white spot a white streak an inch wide extends along j the centre of the nose, down across i the lips, chin, chest, stomach?id fact j as far as the trunk extends. The j white mark doeR not fade gradually 1 into the black, but is as clear and j distinct as if made with a brush of white paint. Both arms cf the child from elbow to shoulder are perfectly j white. The child is healthy and stroDg. m OLD ADAGE SAY m" "A Eight purse is 3 heavy curse'1 Sickness makes a light purse. The LIVER is the seat of nine tenths of all disease.

To wash lace so that it will look like new, put it in a glass fruit jar filled with hot soapsuds and a little ammonia. Shake the jar from time to time, letting the lace stay about twelve hours. If ,?ery soiled, the water should be changed once. At the end of that time, rinse in clear water by shaking it in the j*r well, aEd then dry entirely by patting and slapping it between the palm of the hands, first between the folds of a towel to absorb the excess of moisture.

The Farmer's Little Joke. When the farmer espied a little i i . .1 * _ _ li . _i* 1_^ ooy mausiriousiy collecting appies from the topmost branches of his best tree, he stole tack to the farm house and took down a stuffed image of PoDgo, his greatly mourned sheep dog, from the cupboard and in a few minutes the stuffed dog had been placed at the foot of the tree. The farmer then proceeded with the business of the farm, and the men wondered why every now and then be chuckled to himself. An hour went by and the farmer was once more at the foot of the tree. "Hullo, there !M he cried. "What are you doing up my tree, eh?" The boy was pale and quivering with fright, but he had not altogether lost his presence of mind. "P please, sir," he shivered, "that great big dog down there," pointing to the well-preserved Pongo, "be chased me, he did, all over your meadow, an' I bad to dimb this tree to get out of his way." Lincoln's Pass PTor Honored. L'ncoln's Lumor armed him eftYct&lly sgainst the importunate persons with whom, as the head of the nation, he was beset at all times. During the Civil war a gentleman asked him for a pass through the Federal lines to Richmond. "I shou'd be happy to oblige you." said Lincoln, "if my passes were respected. But the fact is, within the last two years I have given passes to a quarter of a million meD, and not one has got there yet."
