tricities as any man who has lived to the great age he has reached, retaining in so eminent a degree all his faculties. Never indulging his mind in vagaries, if he has, in some instances deimrted from the beaten track, utility was the oliject sought. Hence, if he did, some years ago, with his own hands, make for himself a finely-finished walnut coffin, to be ready to receive his mortal remains when his spirit shall be summoned hence, it may be urged that it was not a mere whimsical freak, but only in accordance with the general tenor of his life, which has ever been marked by strong self-reliance and a disposition to give his fellow-men no inconvenience on his account. Though several years have elapsed since he made his coffin, we hope many more may pass over his head before occasion will require its use. EDITOKIAL INKLINGS. Tragedy iu Atlanta. A dispatch of la3t Tuesday evening from Atlanta, Ga., gives the following account of a fatal rencontre in that city, on that day, between two gentlemen well known throughout the eouutry. At 3.30 p. m. the office of the State Treasu? rer, at the capitol, iu this city, was the scene of a bloody tragedy, the parties being Col. Robert A. Alston,member of the Legislature, and Capt. E. S. Cox, of DeKalb county. Alston fired three shots and Cox two. Alston was shot in the right temple, the ball passing through his braiu. Cox was shot iu the mouth and through the left hand. Alston is dying, but Cox is not seriously hurt. The difficulty arose from Alston having a power of attorney, from Senator Gordon, to sell the t latters interest in the State convict lease. Cox is a sub-lessee under Gordon and wanted Alston to sell Gordon's interest to Walters, who had promised to buy Cox out. Alston sold to another person. Cox threatened Alston at noon that he would kill him before sundown if the trade was not cancelled and made with his man. He hunted Alston down. Gov. Colquitt and others having detained Alston at the eapitol, there the quarrel was renewed, and both drew their pistols with the result above stated. Col. Alston died at four minutes after 6, Tuesday evening. Senator Patterson- Contradictory Statements ^ A Washington dispatch of the 8th says that on that day, ex-Seuator Patterson received a letter from the Attorney-General of South Carolina, granting him full pardon * and oblivion for any indictments pending against him in that State. Mr. Patterson will leave Washington in a few days to accept an important trust under the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in Arizona. As contradictory of the above, a Columbia special dispatch of the 8th, to the News and Courier says: In regard to the Associated Press dispatch to the effect that Patterson has received a formal assurance from the attorney-general of this State that all proceedings against him have been discontinued, your correspondent I made inquiry to day of Governor {Simpson, [ who replied by an emphatic assurance that he knew of no such promise or understanding. Attorney-General You mans is in Charleston. ^ On the reception of the above dispatch, Attorney-General Youmans was visited by a reporter for the News and Courier and requested to state the terms upon which this amnesty had been granted to Senator Patterson, and the reasons which had induced it. The attorney general slated that the announcement contained in the dispatch was entirely new to him, and that he had neither written, nor authorized to be written, any such letter to Sen ator Patterson. He was totally unaware that -. any such amnesty had been granted, or that the Governor had any intention of so doing. MERE-MENTION. Ben. Butler worked at chair making to pay his college dues.

C., March 11,1879. On Tuesday last, according to programme, the Chester Light Dragoons gave their tournament on Patterson's Green. Preceding ; -the tournament there was a parade in which about forty men appeared under command of Captain Thomas M.Sanders. At 1 o'clock the tilting commenced, and - - the various members who participated, accpiitted themselves quite creditably. The ?? liurwleniiip bridle?was taken hv UlOls V* ^ Corporal S. B. Hardin; the second prize?a pair of spurs ?was taken by private Geo. W. Hafner; and the third prize?a riding whip? was taken by private R. G. Smith. Quite a number of ladies graced the occasion with their presence, and everything passed off pleasantly, with the exception of a slight accident to private T. B. Woods, who, riding an unmanageable horse, found it necessary to jump from his saddle while making a run, and in doing so, received a few slight bruises. * Mr. R. A. Love, who was commissioned by Bull Run Grange to visit Charleston, for the purpose of buying fertilizers on the best terms he could secure for the cash, has returned. I learn that his mission was successful in regard to prices, and his transactions are entirely satisfactory to those for whom he acted. Among recent improvements in town, I notice that Dr. G. B. White is having new fencing made, and building out-houses on his premises occupied by Mr. David Moffat, on Lacy street. One of our town capitalists, Mr. John L. Yongue, has recently purchased a tract of land, as an investment, in the eastern part of ** the county, near the present terminus of the Cheraw and Chester Railroad. The tract contains 320 acres, for which Mr. Yongue paid 84,000. He says that sum is SI,500 more than he would have paid for the property in the absence of a railroad to that point. This is one instance among many of the advantages of railroad facilities to "Eastern Chester." A traveling auctioner visited our town . last week, selling 8150 oil paintings in "gold frames," at any price he could obtain?from 815 to 819. By the present mail arrangements the En- , quirer is received here at 3 o'clock A. M.,; on the day of its date?a few hours iu ad- : vance of its delivery heretofore. The Champion Kook and Ladder Fire Company, (colored,) made a fine parade last Saturday, and performed some excellent feats ' in the practice of handling their apparatus. Among the deaths of last week are Mrs. Martha Hamiltou, of Landsford, aged 79 j years; Miss Peggy Bigliam, of Lewisville, j aged 96, and Mr. Thos. G. Reid, of Chester. ' I learn that Mr. C. C. Macoy has recently ( inherited a suug fortune of 825,000. The lady members of the Associate Re-! formed Presbyterian Church met last Friday | afternoon and put on the finishing touches to i the interior of the building, by fitting a ; handsome carpet to the floor. The church ; edifice is now completed and a handsome building it is. The congregation have paid : the full amouut due on the building. It will be formally dedicated ou the 15th instant. Judge Pressley arrived here from Lancaster on Saturday and opened court yesterday. His charge to the grand jury was clear and concise, evincing a strong legal mind. At this writing George Crosby, colored, is on trial for the murder of James Grant, colored. Several bills have already been given the grand jury by Mr. Solicitor Gaston. After the adjournment of Court yesterday afternoon, the Chester Agricultural and Mechauical Association held a meeting in the Court House. Rules for the government of the Association were adopted, and at a subsequent meeting of the Directors of the Association, Maj. Julius Mills was appointed ageut to canvass Chester and adioining counties for the purpose of soliciting stock subscriptions. No definite action has yet been taken in the purchase of grouuds for the purposes of the Association. Chester. SENATOR WADE HAMPTON. the ex-governor interviewed while fishing for trout. A Keporter for the J\ewa and Uourier was sent to Colleton county on Saturday to search for Senator Hampton and interview him. After a tramp of about seven miles from Green Pond depot, on the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, through country roads and paths, rice fields, swamps aud thickets, the explorer reached the edge of "Chapman's Back Water,".(a pond probably half a mile long by a considerable width,) in a scratched, muddy, heated and generally disagreeable and unsightly condition. Peering through the undergrowth, he discovered the familiar figure of Senator Hampton, sitting in a small canoe in the middle of the sheet of water, surrounded by the pond lilies and "whipping" for trout. SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR ! Finally, however, the boat was paddled to the dam by the old colored man who composed the crew, and the reporter had a talk with the distinguished object of his search. Senator Hampton is looking as well as he ever has duriug the past three years, his face being full aud his complexion apparent ly perfectly healthy. The only visible trace of t he suffering he has undergone since his accident, is a slight increase in the gray in his whiskers. His general health is excellent, except that the change from his former active out-of-door life to the necessary confinement of the past three months has developed dyspepsia, which causes him the loss of much sleep. His leg still gives him great trouble, and frequently intense pain, the end of the remaining portion of the bone being dead. The physicians are waiting to allow this an opportunity of coming off itself, but should it fail to do so during the next month, it will probably have to be amputated. THE EXTRA SESSION. no fn rtfrtKo hi 11t \r rvP XJCUJg IJUCSIIUIICVI UO m ui? ^IUUUV/III>.J VI his being in Washington at the Extra Session, he said that it was uncertain as yet, although he would go if he possibly could. The doctors rather advised him against it, but he hoped to be able at least to go and pair off with somebody ; or else he might wait and see if the business before the Senate was important. In case it was particularly so, he intimated that he would go at any rate, as he hated, he said, the idea of not fulfilling the trust committed to him. He thought he could stand the traveling tolerably, but seemed to dread the idea of having to live in a strange place, where he would be compelled to give trouble. THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME. The reporter asked him his opinion of the. action of the Democrats in refusing to pass the appropriation bills without the amendments abolishing the test oath for United States jurors and the United States supervisors of election, and forbidding the use of troops at elections. He replied that he thought the House was right. He would favor Congress silting forever, if necessary, before it receded an inch from its position. He did not think the President would have a right to oppose the amendments if Congress continued to urge them, as such action would show that they were the will ofthe people. THE HEATHEN CHrNEE. On the Chinese question, he expressed the opinion that Mr. Hayes' action was right. In the first place, he did not think Congress had the power to abrogate a part of a treaty. He thought that body wrong in yielding to the claiuor from California. Hampton's retreat. This conversation took place as the Senator sat in his canoe with the wounded leg resting on an air cushion. Several fine trout, captured by himself and a little boy, who had accompanied him, lay in the bottom of the boat, and at the termination of the interview the paddle was again plied, and the little craft floated slowly away down the pond. If its distinguished occupant was in search of quiet, he could have selected no better spot for it. The little lake is surrounded on all sides by dense thickets and woods, which shut out the rest of the world, and with their heavy draperies of gray moss are reflected perfectly in the clear and still water, the surface of which is partly covered with the broad leaves of the pond lilies. Saturday was thoroughly spring like in temperature and slightly cloudy, with a haze like that of Indian summer. A j more perfect picture of quiet and seclusion than the "back-water" afforded there, it would be difficult to imagine. an unconditional surrender. The reporter could realize the out-of-theI way position of the spot from the difficulty he I experienced in finding it, the object of his | pursuit threatening to baffle him, even when j I in hailing distance, by keeping the water i j between them. The New and Courier man ! | noticed, however, that there were no provis- j J ions aboard to speak of, except raw fish, and j Hint Iip cnnli] Up in wait nt flip lmulinir until 1 J starvation compelled a return. He also dark, ly intimated that in case the worst came to ! the worst, he could swim. Under these circumstances his victim capitulated. SLOWLY GAINING GROUND. The Senator seemed in his usual good 1 I spirits, and, when driving home, devoted him- j , self largely to teasing his young companion ; j on the amount of bait he had allowed the | | fish to filch from his hook and make off with, j The trout, he said, had evidently known ex- J ' actly where they could get silver fish without! ; danger of being caught. He passes all the ; J time possible in the open air, either going j 1 about the yard and grounds, driving or fish- j ing, the latter sport having occupied a large ! portion of the past few days. From all the : indications he seems to be gradually, but surely, gaining ground, and there seems to he no reason to doubt that the thousands all j over the country who admire and respect,j i and the people of South Carolina who are so 1 proud of him, will be gratified by seeing him j | live through many more years of usefulness | I and honor to himself and "his State.

There is hardly a housekeeper who has not at times had suspicions of short weights from butchers, grocers, or others, but with no means of testing, they have been obliged to take articles as they were dealt out to them. There has never been any suitable Scale made for housekeepers, or if there was, the price was too high. Seeing the great want of something of this kind, which could be furnished at a low price, the Chicago Scale Company, of Chicago, Illinois, have been to great expense in preparing to manufacture a house-keeper's Scale weighing from i ounce to 25 pounds, which they will sell for $3.00, being equal to anything of the kind that has ever sold before for three times that amount. It is made with a brass beam, steel bearings, nicely finished, and is warranted perfect. Every family should have one. It is also the most convenient Scale for any post office or business office for weighing mail matter, etc. Boxed, they weigh 10 pounds, and are sent by express.?The Interior, Chicago.
