The Greenville Fire.
The Greenville News denies that
the firemen were drunk at the burn
ing of the Cleveland Block in that
city, two weeks ago, and demands
the authority of the SENTffRL foi tteh
(Ise3rtiols.
The editor of this jou'hal is absent
this week, and as the quill driver pro
tem of the SENTINEL knows nothing
about it, the subject wilibe adjourned
over until the return of the editor.
We trust, however, that the News is
right, and that the SENTINEL has been
Misinformed. The present writer is
personally acquainted with a number
of the Greenville Firemen and knows
them to be a lot of noble fellows, and
sober and temperate in their habits.
Anotle Blaze.
On the morning of the 9th inst.
Greenville had aniother file, hilt not
near so disastrous as the one the
Week before. The fire broke out
in the oflice of the Enterprise and
Mountaineer, over the clothing store
of F. W. Poe & Co. Th stock of
goods belonging to the latter was
insured for $10,000, and valued at
about $10,000. At this writing the
damage to the Mountaineer haS not
been ascertainedl. The insurance
was $1,500. The buildiigs were inl
hured foil $6,000. The dalmage is
about $1,000. Messrs. Poe & Co's
loN: was principally by water being
thrown tion their goods and there
by damaging them. But for the
prompt action of the fire depart
muent this blaze would have been
m1o'1a dlllasttrous thani the other.

the age of 16 and 50t years are liable
to road duty twelve days in each
year. A commiutation tax of three
dollbrs exenmpts one from road duity
for the term of one year.
It is the duty of the County C1om
miussioners to apploinlt Township sa
pervisors, and see that they dischargre
their duties. Sup~ervisors appoint
Overseers and assign the hands in
p'rop)ortion to) the wvork, which, in his
judlgmellt, wvill be necessary during
the year.
In opening new roads the Super
i'isor cant order an Overseer with his
Squad to any portion of the township,
Preachers actually in charge of a
church, teachers and puils attend
ing school are exempt.
A physician's certihicato of disabil
~ty doies not excuse any one0, unless
the Overseer agrees with the physi
cian. If the Overseer thinks a manm
is able, lhe has him warned. If the
hand does not agree with the Ovei'
seer, he refuses to wvork. Then it is
the duty of the Overseer to hand in
thme dIeliquent's natue to theo Trial
Justice, who will pass judgment on
him, or at the dlefenident's request,
will empageI a jury to discharge that
du~ty. A verdict fcnquittal will ex
cuse the defendant fromi wor'klng
only at the time for which he was
Warned. Hd may recover fromn his
disability by the next time the roads
are to be worked. The warner is re- r
qiuired to give personal notice to 10
each hand twelve hoursm before the
time for working,.
T'he Overseer can allow the Warner o
a reasonab)le nmbe)r of days' exemup- all
tion from work, in lieu of his trouble wi
or service as such warner: (ia rmost thm
eases one dlay would be s&iffi 3ient,) oi w<
he can employ some one not liable to wI
work, to discharge thle duty.' The I T
warner must make return to the Ov
erseer that he har legally warned all
the hands.

Coneuie is the most universal fault,
jfs the Marshal, Texas, Mesebg6r, for
hioh little can be said in apology and
)tuing ih praise. It is an tntbrprise
quiring but littld-apital and no brains.
is a wide fieldi iiicluding every human
lerest and every active force in all the
alms of attaiiable knowledge. We
>nsure the frail; ,rrihg and finite; and
te perfect, the divine and the infinite.
To oensure the good for their virtue,
id the bad for their vioe: We censure
ike the works of God and man. Cen
ire seeks superiority, not by levelling
p, but by pulling down. Censure is
ride, adeking fame without merit. It
ignorance affecting wisdom. It is van
y begging praise without merit. Con
tire is the deadly upas tree of sooial life,
)ading the atmosphere with the mala
la of moral dedaf and death. It deals
rith the flnatd arid the intlnate in all the
oalris of human thought. It ignores
very relation in life and every position
n office. The king and the beggar
hare alike its vituperatiorit I'he infidel
nd the Christian are the subject of itl
renimous thruits. The noble and the
Dase are covered with its slimy exhala
ions. Friendship cannot restrain it,
love cannot arrest its withering curse.
Fx-Governor Horatio Soy mour, of
New York, cied oil 1'riday night at
the residence of his sistet', Mrs. Ros
coo Conkling, of Utica, N. Y. His
death was caused by old age. He
was born in Onondaga county, N. Y.,
in 1810 and was one of a prominent
family. He was a lawyer and was
elected to the State legislature as a
democrat in 1842. He subsequently
became mayor af Utica aid speaker
of the house. He was the demnocra
tic nominee for governor in 1850 and
wasdefeated, but was (lected in 1852,
defeated by the prohibitionists in
1854, elected in 1862, and again do
feated In 180'4. In 1868 he was the
lemoacratic nominee for president and
Wa1s defeated. Since then he has
leclined all public otlices, includltg a
United States senatorship.
James iadison Wells, a famous
repiblican politician of the recon
struction era in Lottisiana, has be
3ome old, poor and blind. His for
nor political lapses have now return
)d to plague him with their malodo
'o11 nermory. He was a native
4outthorner, but in the mad hunt for
gain lent himself to methods so
ltcatioliftll6 aat to destroy alike self
reaspect., his well considered methodas
for the aggregation of personal pelf,
his standing in evil cohorts among
whom ho had aligned himself, and
w~hat whls more diSsatros to him,
the "thirty pieces of silver" for whiose
possession lhe had risked all that a
muan should hold dear.

A Cow's Value.
The Carolina Spartan says: When
yott announce that a good cow,
w#li attended to, is worth $10 a nidutil
o a family where there are six to ten
persons to eat many will deny your as
sertion. They just know that it is im
possible for a cow to be Worth $180 c
year. That they say is worth as mucl
as a horse and no cow is that. A fai
cow with good shelter and fecd Will av
erage 21 gallons of milk a day the yen
round. At 20 cents a gallon that will b
worth 50 cents a day, or $15 a monti
This statement is made in order that th
average farmer may be brought to cor
sider the value if a good cow and the
he may be induced to provide -genero1
food and a good dry stall in winter. Th
next stop will be to improve his stoc
by judicious solectiou and the rejoetio
of all poor milkers. Many of the con
mon cattle, callad scrubs are excellei
cows and desdrve better treatment. Ti
mian who expects a cow with a handfi
of shucks and a few cotton sed with
little dish-water slop, to give rich nou
ishing milk, is about an dtnpid as tl.
eow he owns. During the coldest weatl
or, the flow of milk can be kept fairly u
if the cow has a warm stable and inorea
ed rations. Then many persons wasi
cmuch milk in raising a little meas
scrub of a calf that will bo worth ver
little when it is three years old. Ar
calf may be taught in six wcoks to drinl
warm slops in which there is an abum
dance of flesh forming food, such i
brau, mal and the like. Fedd yor
calf tlus and give the milk to your chi
dren and work hands. In ttose times<
low values and scareity of nioney, ii
creased attention to the cow will hel
out the family living and keep dow
the grocery accounts. A good cow we
fed and milked is worth twiLo as muc
to a family as a fifty dollar lion.
It has boon decided by the rail roa
in inagers in charge of the line of railwa
south of the Potomac and Ohio Rivni
to change the guage of their respectiv
lines, in order that there may be a un:
fori Standard throughout the Statei
Mexico and Canada. The roads in th
South aro tive feet, those of the Nort)
and Northwest are four feet, eight an
one-half inches. At Willnington, N. 0.

cnt guages come in contact a coinplet
transfer of freight is necessary; and i]
case of through sleepers, they have t,
be lifted from one set of trucks an,
placed on another, involving much oi
pense and considerable delay. Th
width of the Southern roads will be rc
duecd three inches, as this is more coi
venient and sufliciently iear thestaudar
for safety. Mllondny the last day of Ma
and Tuesday the first day of June hav
hmeei set for iho time in which to mak
the change. It is eat munated that it wi

e The fame hygienic methods are
e not equally adapted to all. One can e
i. sleep with his window open, not only 1
withont harm, but with positive ben- If
e it. The depressed condition that k
characterizes sleep, the more nox- t
ious night air, and the liability to
marked changes in the outside tem
perature, would render the habit
perilous to many others. T
? So one must not blindly take a
1 daily cold both because others have
D tried it and( strongly recommended
:1 it. It might be death to one, though
life to another. One needs to have
e regard to the condition of the heart
and the keadiniess to react from a
chill to a glow. To some a semi
,i weekly warm bath is much better.
It is somewhat the. same in the
? matter of exercise, which may help
or may h01rm. One, if at all delicate
should ca refully- fl,!, (ut wh.t is
best, )oth in kind and ler.;; e.
It, is equally so in he matter of
food. While the vigorous, who large
Slv 11h%;9 out dtoor, may eat almao:;t aany
t thing within the liulils of Lh,ir aspe

The jonquils will put up theii

The snow drops will follow.
Then violets, roses and all the
flowers will follow fast in beautifu:
battalions.
All of which is very fine indeed.
But no beautiful battalions, n<

a pretty formidable sum.
