Wilmington, Del., September 80. - Forty lashes each-tho maxim ni .Owed by law-were administered lo William and Henry Parker, both negroes, nt thc county workhouse Whipping-post. Chief Warden Me uerve wielded tho cat, and Iiis blows brought the blood. The negroes yelled loudly, and alter their punish ment were led back to their cells, H iere they will meditate for five .years upon the highway robbery they . -ommittcd. George Owens, a tough-skinned,I ? white burglar, smiled as the warden laid 20 lashes oil his bared back. Harry Mortui, a big, white man, who stole 86 quarts of whiskey, received ten lashes straight without a quiver. Charles Katun's back reddened nuder ten lashes and he will serve two1 years and six months for stealing ' . lopper wire. Hight negroes and four white men ui all were lashed, and a crowd of ?several hundred spectators seemed u> enjoy witnessing tho punishment. : There was no pillory, that means of torture having been abolished by the fast Legislature.

Kllabell, Qa., September US. While Simms, heavily armed, stood, in plain sight, a coroner's jury yes- ! terday found him guilty of murder. Simms is the man who is said to have killed Conductor Duisburg a month ago and a negro two days ago. From all accounts tho sup posed slayer had terrorized tho whole country for a considerable period and the populace are reported to have stood in awe of bim. His pres ence at the tr-al conducted by the coroner, with tho addition of his weapons, and his alleged refusal to to be captured, make a remarkable chapter in the history of the State's jurisprudence. Badly Lacerated Crew. New York, September 'Js.-A badly lacerated crew arrived here yesterday on the steamer Indramavo, guarding a cargo of wild animals from Chinese and Japanese ports. Six leopards and two big snakes caused most of tho injuries which were inflicted by the animals during an exciting voyage. Besides these animals tho I nd ram ay O started out with an elephant, six monkeys of a largs and savage species, and some smaller animals. The leopards from their cages succeeded in lacerating the arms and the legs of six sailors, who attempted to teed them on the j rolling, pitching ship. In thc Ked sea, one of tho snakes, which weighed 200 pounds and was "?'?i feet long, escaped from his cage and crawled out upon the dook about dawn. During most of the forenoon tho en tire crew fought and rolled about the deck in a struggle to get the snake back into his cage. They finally succeeded. Four days ago the ele phant died from complications re sulting from sea sickness, and the' animal's body was thrown overboard. It occurs to us that the press of South Carolina has devoted a suffi cient amount of space to the views of our senior Senator on thu dispen sary. It is all well enough to con tinue to advertise him when he is advocating any measure that will benefit and Uplift tho citizens of thc State; but when he persists in advo cating something that has debauched ami will oontinut to debauch thc people, it is the duty of the press to ignore him after it bas given him a respectful hearing. Senator Tillman is absolutely wrong in advocating the dispensary, but, to use his own language, he is utterly reckless as to the cons?quence? because he believes tho dispensary to be tho best solu tion. Wise tuen some times change their views on great public questions. Wo hopo Senator Tillman is a wisc man.-Gaffney I .edger.

"Sambo," *aid the owner of a country place to his gardener, "con cerning that tree I wanted you to cut down, my wife thinks it had bet ter lie allowed to stand." "Well, nb think it ought tor come down, Massa Brown," was the reply. "What are your reasons for think ing HO, Sambo ?" "We-ll, sir, sir, do first reason am dat dc tree done keep de light off de green-bouse ; de second reason am dat it's getting obi ; and de thm. reason am dat 1 cut it down last night."-1 [arper'a Weekly. An old adage runs : "A man is known by thc company he keeps." An e>change very aptly remarks that "a girl may be known by tho company soe declines to keep." Why shouldn't this revision apply to men ns well ? Comptroller General Jones MUK re fused to pay over to those counties voting out thc dispensary their ap portionment of the dispensary prolits for school purposes. It is likely that the issue will have to be decided by the courts. # t>? It costs a hundred million dollar? a year to run tho government of New York city, and yet sotno people wonder how Tammany statesmen can hire special trains and spend money like water. Only they don't spend it on water. Russell Sage, who keeps motley, ?md Andrew Carnegie, who gives it away, both declare that they enjoy life ; so it seems that wealth can make happiness either way. But then these men are both philosophers, and philosophy is above riches. Quite ft number of the most con sistent prohibitionists and best Citi zen? of Sumter take no stock in the proposition to vote out the dispen sary. They prefer the dispensary, bad .is it is, to the unbridled reign of | the blind tiger.-Sumter Watchman. lu the last three Presidential cam paigns thc New York Life Insurance Company contributed to the Repub lican campaign fund, in all about $150,000of the policyholders money.
