Ben. Butler will doubtless never be
heard4rom in reference to the pillag
ing of the wrecked Italian bark Gio
-vanni -on the Massachusetts coast, a
few days ago. The vessel was loaded
with wine and other valuable mer
chandise. She went to pieces, and a
gang of banditti-real banditti, mind
you-rFshed upon the dismantled ves
sel and took everything they could t
find, while sixteen dead victims of the t
disaster were tossing in the surf be- t
side them. Breaxing into the wine
casks, they inserted their heads and
drank themselves into a frenzy, which
resulted in a wild and bloody conflict,
fatal to many of them. This occurred
on the soil of pious Massachusetts,
and if Sheridan or Butler has discov
ered anything approaching to it in
bandittism in Louisiana, they have not
mentioned it.
This being the mouth when the
great menageries perfect their arrange
fnents for the summer campaign, a
New York correspondent vouchsafes
some curious information respecting I
the business of importing wild ani- i
mals. Mr. Charles Rohe, of New
Yoik, is an extensive dealer ir. show
animals, and has, indeed, no rival on
the Continent. His busy season is (
now at hand, and at his establishment i
one may find the leading showmen of
the present day, who are replenishing
their assortment of attractions. Ele- 4
phants are quoted from $2.000 to $0,
900,according tosize and origin;ecamels
bring $600, giraffes $3,000, zebras $1,
200, while lions .range all the way a
from $1,500 to $2,000. Leopards are<
quoted at $500, and rhinoceroses at
from &5.000 to $10,000. White bears
are quoted at $1,200, ostriches are
worth $500, and the anaconda is held fi
. atthe same price. Hyenas are wortht
$350, while the hippopotamus costs
the enormous price of $12,000. Mon
keys range from $12 to $150, accord
ing to their intellectual status and t
general development in the Darwinian 1
theory. An extensive dealer in wildi
beasts recently imported an invoice of I
giraffes; it was no job lot, but a fresh a
stock of assorted sizes, the finest that i
ever exchanged the freedom of tropical f
Africa for the shocking bad climate of I
New York. On their arrival they I
were put in~ charge of an experienced t
keeper. It is unnecessary to state
that it has not been giraffe weather t
lately. Stuffed giraffes might stand I
it, b~ut live ones could not, and eight 1.
of them-the whole stock-died in i
one day. Their necks were so long I
that when their throats got sore there t
was no attendant tall enough to regu- I
late the flannel bandages.
War MOULTON STOOD IT.-No C
wonder Moulton's physical endurance a
baffed his inquistors, while it per- 1
plexed his audience. We all notices '
that his condition was superb, but C
very few of us found out the key of
his marvelous conservation of forces. i
When the trial drew near, a friend r
cautioned him that being a gay mant
of the world, whose habits were no more
regular than those of most of his kind, t
the enemy would look for a collapse on
the third or fourth day. Moulton '
took the hint and digested it. Seek- E
ing a competent authority, he put ~
himself in athletic training. Every 1
morning he rose early and walked two ]
miles, returning in a glow. He was
carefully sponged with alcohol and wa- C
ter, when he took for his breakfast oat C
meal and rice cream. Thus prepared, t
be entered the court, sucked a lemon t
to clear his throat of all secretion, and
took his seat overflowing with ani
mnal health. Tracy on the other ~
hand, had been up all night boiting
huge dyspeptic chunks of suggestion
When the jaded lawye~r and the brisk
witness entered into their daily strug
gle, what chance was there for the at
torney with the bile in his throat, and ~
drowsy blood stagnating in his brain ?
"I was an hour ahead of Tracy all the
time," says Moulton. The episode is
respectfully commended to Charles
Beade.-Cor. Chicago Tribune.
THE LIFE OF MAN.-How graphi

ture the various seasons of man's life!1
The tenderness of its budding and
blooming in spring, when that rich t
golden green glints on it that comes
only once a year, represents the bright t
beauty and innocence of youth, w
every sunrise brings its fresh, gI
hopes. and every night its holy, trustfula
calm. The dark greenness and lush
vigor of the summer season portray r
the strength and self-reliance of man
hood; while its fading hues on thee

ground typify the decay and feeble- e
ness of old age, and that strange, mnys- e
terious passing away which is the doom

The Vietory Sure, Whoever
Leads the Assault.
All the signs, all the precedents, all I
he analogies of political history point
D the total overthrow of the Republi
an party in the election of next year.
'he most significant evidence of its
pproaching destruction is the hardi
ood with which its leaders in Con
ress have set at defiance the admoni
ions of the last autumn. About one
mndred and twenty of the Republicans!
a the last Senate and House were
hen dismissed to private life. The
aagnates of the party in the Senate
rere stricken down, and the Republi
an majority of one hundred in the.
ecent House was changed to a Demo
ratic majority of seventy-five n the
ext.
But this terrible rebuke utterly fail
d to bring the Grant leaders to a
tause. Indeed, it has failed even
o bring them to reflection. They
cem neither to look backward to.con
emplate the teachings of the past, nor
rward to calculate the conseqences
f their headlong course. The infatu
ted majorities in each House at the
ecent session rushed blindly onward,
eewiugly unmindful of the fact that
,uly three months previously the peo
>le smote them terribly with their in
lignafon at the polls ; and that with
a the last few weeks their regular op
>onents have elected many Democrats
o seats long filled by Republicans ;
Ud that the defeat of Chandler, arLd
arpenter, and Ramsey, by Legisla
ures nominally Republican, shows
hat old-time leaders cannot control
heir followers; while the success of
addock in Nebraska, and Burnside
n Rhode Island, and even of Sharon
n Nevada, are undoubted anti-Grant
,ictories.
Well, it has always been so with
arties infatuated with a. long series
af uninterrupted successes, whose
taughty chieftains were intoxicated
rith power, and whose centurions and
aptains of fifties were gorged with
>lunder. In 1837-8 Van Buren un
ertook to carry through Congress
ertain unpopular financial measures.
he elections of the next fall returned
majority of the House adverse to
im. The Sage of Lindenwald did
tot take warning from the rebuke, but
[ring the short session in the middle
f his term, his partisans carried
hings with a high hand, just as the
rantites have done now. But at the
text Presidential election, the people
iiscarded Van Buren and brought
Villiam Henry Harrison from the
ounty Clerk's office at Cincinnati
d inaugurated him as his successor.
Just twenty years later, in 1857-8,
3uhanan undertook to force negro
lavery upon Kansas by judicial de
rees and the bayonets of the army.
he free States rose in indignation,
ud at the Congress elections in the
all of 1858 placed a majority in the
ext House hostile to the Administra
inn. But the Sageof Wheatland did
hot take warning from the admonition;
.nd during the short session, he push
d his measures with more audacity
han before-just as the Grant men
have done now ; and in the Presi
ential contest of 1860 the people re
tdiated the Democratic candidates
,nd went to the banks of the Sanga
no river and took Abraham Lincoln
rom his dingy law office and made
Lim the successor of the man who had
Leld high posts in the Government for
he previous thirty years.
These examples will suffice to show
he summary manner in which the
people punish parties that do not
end their ways after having been
uly admonished. Hrving failed to
rofit by the lessons of the past au
umn, the Grant party must now pre
are for the retributions of the next
'ear.
The mad career of the Republicans
aring the recent session removes all
out t of the overthrow of the party
1876. The election of that year
rill be a revolution as sweeping and
omplete as those of 1840 and 1860.
lt aspirants to the office of President
i the ranks of the Opposition should
emember that in the memorable con
est of 1840 neither of the great chief
ins, Clay, Webster, and Scott, won
he prize of victory, and that it fell to
be comparatively obscure Harrison;
rhile in 186. eminent leaders like
~eward, Chase, Fessenden, and Wade
ood aside while Lincoln, the rough
ewn raispitter, strode into the White
louse.
The people will rejoice in the tri
mph over fraud, corruzption, defiance
f law, and contempt for the Constitu
ion, no matter who may lead the at
akins: column.-New York Sun.
THE MEDICINEs EXEMPr UNDER
'HE NEW TAX LAW.-The comimis
ioner of internal revenue has decided
rith reference to the tax upon medi
ines under the law of February 8,
875, that two classes heretofore held
o be liable to stamp tax are condition
ly exempted :
First. Official medicines, or medi
ines made and compounded accord
g to formulas published on author
ed standard medical authorities, but
rhich have been heretofore put up in
style or manner similar to that of
atent or proprietary medicines in
eneral.
Second. Medicines unofficinal, or
2ade and compounded according to
npublished formulas. In the first of
hese cases the condition on which the
zemption is made to depend is, that
be formula shall published on the Ia
el and dispensatory pharmacopia, or
harmaceutical journal, or other stand
rd medieal authority where such for
iuia is published, shall be distinctly
eferred to on the label. In the se
ond case no proprietorship must be
laimed, and to remove all semblance
a any claim to proprietorship, or
laim to have any private formula, or
eult secret or art for making and
reparing the same, the maker or comn
ounder must publish on his label the
xact formula which he uses, so that
he medical article may be free and
pen to the trade, if they see fit to
2ake or compound the same article.
~he formulas in all cases must be pub

The Freight Trouble. ml
Capt. Stradley, the agent of the to
Air Line Railroad, in answer to an ad
article in the HERALD last week, says 9u
that the freight trouble between the sei
road he represents and the G . & C. th
R. R. is altogether the fault of the be
latter. He gives a long explanation in co
the Greenville Daily News. Nothing go
has been heard from the other side as
yet. We trust that the diffieulty will
be arranged speedily that the public t
interest may not suffer. Mr. Stradley
says that a large amount of freight is ex
blocked up on the Air Line. This t
should not be.

The Inereased Rate of Postage- su
Thie amendment tacked on to the Iof
postage bill, during the last hours of th
the late session of Congress, increas- th
ing the rate one cent per ounce on au
third class matter, which includes
transient newspapers, magazines, etc., of
is an evidence of blindness on the part u
of the people's representatives, if not
n
of their wilful negligence. It is aaf
gross injustice to the people on whom d
the onus will fall, without material a
benefit either to any but the Express de
companies which have been fattening g
so long on their exorbitant charges and i
undue exactions. Thc persistent ef
fort made b~y the agents of these com- d
panies to have the law changed, on the d
plea that it was working serious dis
advantage to their interests, it is true, ed
did produce some little show of fight, ~
but the merit of that is lost in tfelae
indifference manifested toward the end f
in allowing the change to be made.
At first glance it may seem trifling, to
but in reality it is not so, for the rates o
are just double and treble those which bo
the late law required. And for what?b
To gratify the avaricious cupidity of 0
bloated corporations in giving them
larger opportunities. The most chari- t
table construction which can be put o
upon it is that the members did not
fully understand or weigh the matter a
suficiently, although there are those
who think that corrupt influences were
brought to bear upon them. Be that A<
as it may, the wrong is done and thev
ye
people will be made to feel the burden,
and it will be strange if the general si
voice is not loudly raised in condem- p
nation. It was a stupid blunder of he
the party who were using every effort ah1
to bolster up the third term project. h
Another weight is added to the already n
overburdened Grantites, and it may
be all for the best. a
wi
Heavy Express Charges. th
Numerous and reasonable complaints
are being made of the excessive charges I1
demanded by the various Express com- sti
panis. Frequently the charge is as sti
large, if not larger than the original otl
cost of the goods which they trans- sa
port. A change is loudly demanded,
and it is but right that some change a
should be effected. It is true that
the uncertainty of getting goods by 6e
regular freight renders the employment
of the Express a necessity, and it r
rol:eicovnettodses
would the incnce,ibut to disnea ad
with their services, but so great ad.
vantage should not be taken of the 24
tount of business. But that is not
the purpose now, the question is,
it right for the Express companies
charge two, three and five dollars
a package which cost no more in
a buying, and to derive a profit on
tich the seller must demand three
ces? Hardly, we think. We re
,mber once paying $1.50 on a small
Y-wheel not bigger round than a
ver dollar and not more than a half
uud in weight, and whose value was
enty-five cents. Another case in
iut was three iron spikes, six inches
ig, sent to a railroad superinteudent
samples from a Northern foundry,
e Express charge on which was
.75. These two are only a few out
thousands of similar cases which
ight be produced, but it is needless
enumerate more of them. We only
d that the excessive charges so fre.
[ently made is a matter that calls for
rious consideration, and in which
e people generally are interested,
cause the transit expense must of
arse be added to the selling price of
ods.

fierce winds, severe lightning and
usually heavy rains. A terrific tor
do swept over Columbia on Monday
rnoon, the 15th., without, however,
ing much damage in the city, but
out Mill creek, nine miles below, a
relling house was demolished, to.
ther with a mill, which was blown

im of mules, and two of the latter
wnd. A negro man also sustained
ious injury. About one and a half
le beyond another house was wreck
,a young lady, the daughter of Mr.
m. Davis, killed, and his wife and a
seriously injured. Half a mile
rther the roof of a house was torn
and Brown's Methodist chapel
mlly demolished. It is feared that
er damage was done in the neigh.
rhood. We notice, also, the death
drowning of two children, one near
iick Springs, Greenville, and the
er in Oconee County, both of which
~lancholy causalties were the result
the unprecedented rains. It is
possible to estimate the loss of life
d property in the last two or three
eks. The number of bridges swept
ay in the upper counties is immense.
~counts from the North, too, are
ry disastrous, the snow storms piling
one after another in rapid succes
in until the drifts rise in frightful
oportions, give rise to serious appre
nsions that when spring sets in and
thaw ensues that the destruction to
and property will be fearful. Even
