The/ moved so slowly that it forced aim to be/ lieve that eternity rather than time was in / view by those in charge. After a while it / stopped entirely and began to back up. / Approaching the conductor, the passenger / "See here, sir; what's the matter?what are you backing up for?" ^4Cow on the track ahead," replied the /omc-ai. "Well, 'spose there is?what of it ?" "Why, great Scott, we don't want to run into her, do we ?" "Of course, ran into her if she doesn't get out of the way !" "Yes, I'll be pretty apt to go smashing into a cow that's standing on the track with her feet braced, and shaking her head and bellering, and jes' waiting for us! S'posen we should knock her out. The old farmer is standing up there looking at us, and he would come down and drive us off before we could get the hide and taller; and then he'd go and sue the company, and then where would we be ! Pretty fix for a railroad to get into, wouldn't it?suit coming on and no hide nor taller to fight it with ! Big judgment agin the company, and obliged to sell the inj ine and sleeping car to pay it! I tell you, if I had run into the cow, that in less than two months that old farmer would have owned this road and would have taken my place himself and given the presidency and general i management to some of his neighbors!

You see, I was thinkin' ahe would be so interested in the lecture she went to that she wouldn't think to look around for burglars, you know." f "Yes." "But when she came in the first thing she did was to look under the bed, and there she saw me." "Did she scream or faint ?" "She just grabbed me with both hands and held on like grim death." "Eh ? How did you get away ?" "I explained to her that I was'alread y married, and she let me go." Chaffed the Wrong Man.?A citizen who had just laid down $900 for a span of carriage horses was driving out Woodward avenue the other day when he met a farmer coming in with a load of apples. Desiring to chaff the stranger a bit he drew up and inquired: "Say, how'll you trade teams ?" The farmer halted, got down from his vehicle, looked the team over and slowly replied : i" Waal, by gosh!" /"What's the matter ?" "If you hadn't stopped me I wouldn't have knowd the team.'' "Did you ever see these horses before?" "Did I ? Why I raised 'em! Sold 'era both to a horse trader in town three weeks ago. That nigh one has the heaves, and the other is a cribber and has two spavins. I'll trade with you fur $75, and that's allowing $25 apiece more on your horses than I got," The owner of the "spankers" hasn't seen a peaceful hour since that meeting?De troit Free Press. Death Cuts Down All, Great and i Small.?A party of hotel men in the As/ ter house rotunda on Monday were discussine the recent death of Messrs. Hunting / and Smith, and hoping that the destroyer I would not visit their ranks for some time i to come, when one of the party said: "Thereare several hotel keepers in town whose death, I am sorry to say, is only a question of time." "Who are they?" eagerly inquired the others. The first gentleman repeated names which were greeted with expressions of sorrow and regret. "But I didn't know they were sick," thoughtfully remarked one of the party. "They are not sick." \ . "What's the matter with them ?" "Nothing." "Well, I" "As I said, their death is oniy a question . of time." \ And solemn silence appeared and minified with the crowd.?Hotel Mail. aSNovel Incentive to Speed.?Honest John Blank was for several years the well-known Governor of a New England State. Gov. Johnhad a brother William, perhaps equally honest, though less well known, who was a sportsman, afad somewhat given to the cheering cup. On one of their shooting excursions William and a boon companion found that their horse did not trot quite rapidly enough to correspond with their exhilarated notions of the proper speed, and the companion fired a charge of bird shot into the animal to encourage him. The horse dashed wildly off, the buggy rocking, hats and parcels flying in all directions, and William, ruler of tbestorm, shouted with delight: "snoot 'im ag'in! shoot 'im ag'in! He goes adm'ably."?Harper's Magazine. KSf Stranger (to Kansas City citizen)? Those three corner lots of yours are fine property, captain. Citizen (enthusiastically)?Fine property? Why, great Scott, man, there ain't nothing like 'em west of the IlliDoy River! Two years from now they'll be in the heart of the city, an' people will fairly howl for 'em. They ought to come under the head of jewelry, not real estate. If you want to buy that property, stranger, you've got to buy it by the inch. Stranger?I'm not buying property this morning. I'm the new tax assessor. The citizen falls in a fit ?Life. She Knew Him.?"It is my painful duty, madam,' he said: "to inform you that lightning has just struck your husband." "Did it strike him more than once?" she asked, anxiously. "No, ma'am." "Thank Heaven it's no worse!" she said with a sigh of relief: "If lightning only struck John once, he'll pull through." V88* A Washington man tell of a quarrel between two negro boys. The larger boy with great volubility was applying every sort of abusive epithet. The younger boy, leaning against a fence and steadily regarding the speaker with a sullen scowl, waited for a halt. At last it came.' "Is you done ?" Yes, I isdone." Then slowly and coolly the younger said: "All dem dings you say I is, you is dem." A Quaker, from the country, went into a city bookstore, and one of the clerks thinking to have a little fun at his expense said to him: You are from the country, are you not?" "Yes," answered the Quaker. "Well her's an essay on the rearing of calves that you would probably like to buy." "That," said the quaker, "thee had better present to thy mother!" tQF Elderly Gentleman (to little boy who is buying candy)?My young friend, don't you think that, instead of spending all the pennies you get, it would be better to put some of them away for a rainy day ? Little Boy?Naw. What's the good of money on a rainy day ? Ma never lets me stir out of the house. *?* "Ah!" exclaimed Fogg, looking up from his newspaper, "another clergyman come to grief!" "What's that ?" exclaimed half a dozen eager voices. "How did it happen?" "It was at a funeral," replied Fogg, and everybody ejaculated "Pooh!" tQr "Mamma, what is color blind?" asked little Nell. "Inability to tell one color from another, my dear," Then I guess the man that made my geography is color blind, because he's got Greenland down painted yellow." X HpsceHatwaus Reading. THE LOOPHOLESOF THE LAW. COMMENTS BY SOLICITOR ORB OX JUDGE HUDSON'S RECENT ARTICLES. [From the News and Courier.] To the Editor of the News and Courier: Your letter asking my views upon the articles recently written by Judge Hudson was duly received. While it is unusual in this State for the Judges to write articles upon any subject fortne press, I think if the other Judges would follow the example set in this instance it would be of great benefit to the State, and if each of the Circuit Judges would write a series of as clear, practical and able articles as J udge Hudson has done, the thinking people of the State and the Legislature could be reached, and something effected towards punishing murderers. His articles should be printed in pamphlet form and laid upon the desk of every member of the Legislature at the U|)CUIUg Ul UIC OCOOlUUi The first matter discussed, to wit, the efficiency of the coroners, is of vital interest to the State. The importance of the office is utterly unappreciated, and its duties most shockingly performed. It is the mainstay of the State in the prosecution of all homicides, and its only hope in questions of bail. The position is tabooed by the people, and it is with the utmost difficulty that a competent man can be induced to accept the place. It is not hard to understand why a good man does not want to take the place, or why, when an incompetent one gets It, the work is badly'done. The cofoners in my part of the State make from $100 to $200 per annum out of it, and the pay is so much for an inquest, without regard to the time taken or labor bestowed. Then they are unnecessarily required to give a $2,000 bond. I would suggest as a remedy that a coroner be paid in proportion to the work done, his duties specifically prescribed and a smaller bond required. They are in conteraplat* >n of the law, the prosecutors in cases of homicide, and the statute should prescribe a penalty for their failure to assist in prosecuting. The most important matter, however, discussed, relates to the empanneling of fnr fViof- iq uiharo tho r>hipf Hpffipt in IVi VUUb 4W TT?<VAV ?1IV our law exists. The defendant really has the right of selecting his jury. While I have no hesitation in saying that the plan suggested by Judge Hudson of summoning forty-eight jurors would be better than the present system, I do not like it on account of the large additional expense, and because we really do not need that many men to do the business. Thirty-six men furnish three full juries, and we can never use more than two at one time. I would suggest that in all cases the defendant be allowed only five peremptory challenges and the State five?that would leave twenty-six in the panel. Let either side then object to any incompetent juror for cause shown, and then neither side could have incompetent and unworthy jurors forced upon them. As a general rule, there exists no trouble in this State in getting an impartial jury, but when there is strong public sentiment, or an influential criminal in the dock, the selection of a jury becomes almost a farce. In a panel of thirty-six men there are unavoidably some ten or twelve men who are incompetent or biased. Say two are gotten off because, under the jury' law, they are exempt, over age, have served within the year, held some position in the county that exempts them; then say there are two more who are related by affinity or consanguinity to the deceased or accused. We have thirty-two left. The State objects to two, leaving thirty. The defendant, with his twenty peremptory challenges, absolutely selects his twelve men, and though the State may stand them aside, as soon as the panel is exhausted, which, of course, the defence will do, if any man they want is stood aside, that very man is brought back and sworn, and the State is utterly helpless. Give each of the parties, State and accused, the right to five peremptory challenges, and do away with the right to stand aside, which is but a useless privilege, and the defendant will have a fair trial, and the State stand at least a reasonable chance to convict a guilty man. This isof the utmost importance, for the Judge may be as firm and as learned as possible, the solicitor as competent as he should be, and the witnesses entirely credible, still, with a biased jury, the party is either acquitted, or the jury hung, and in the latter case that is tantamount to a verdict of manslaughter at the next trial, or more frequently to an acquittal. There is one other matter, however, that deserves the attention of the Legislature, though it simply relates to the form of indictments. Since the law has been so amended that the defendant cannot take advantage of a defective indictment, so as to prevent a second trial, no right would be taken from the defendant by remodeling our criminal pleading so as to make it conform to our civil pleading. England and nearly all the States of the Union have done away with the long, technical and cumbersome common law system of indictments, and require a plain and simple statement of the crime charged, with the right of amendment, to conform to the facts of the case, provided a different crime shall not be charged or the defendant taken advantage of by the amendment. This would enable the Courts to try the guilt of the accused, save a great deal of time, and not allow technical defences, which in the end but postpone the evil day for the accused. The matter of bail has been very fully discussed heretofore, and the discussion has, in my judgment, had a most satisfactory effect. A certain discretion must be allowed the Judges, and all thatisuecessary is to see that this discretion is not abused. "A man is presumed innocent until he is proved guiltybut after a * ? Lrtrt ??! n (vion o n rl tko Pa lift July lias cuuviuicu a man auu uic wun, has sentenced him, I could never see the justice or sense in turning him loose on the community again for probably one year, simply because he has appealed to the Supreme Court. I don't think it necessary to change the Constitution so as to allow the Judges to "charge on the facts." I think if we get good jurors they are more competent to deal with that branch of the case than the Judges. The Judge has the right to set their verdict aside in civil cases and cases of improper convictions, and I think that is sufficient power. An intellectual and unbiased jury is, in my judgment, the panacea for all our wrongs. James L. Our. Twelfth Regiment Meeting.?The members of Companies C and F Survivors of the Twelfth S. C. V. in the late war, met in the Court House in Winnsboro, on Saturday, October 1, 1887. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. B. F. Austin, who stated that the first business before the Association was the election of officers for the ensuing year. Mr. J. R. Boyles moved that the president appoint a committee of three to retire to name candidates. Motion carried. Messrs. J. R. Boyles, W. A. McDowell and T. L. Richardson were appointed. This committee nominated F. B. Austin, president; J. A. Hinnant, 1st vice-president; J. R. Harvey, 2nd vice-president; J. R. Sloan, 3rd vice-president; X. C. Rob? 7 T?

Gregg's (afterwards McGowan's) brigade to be held in Columbia, S.

Cad. Jones, Colonel of the Twelfth Regiment, and ask him to communicate the same to Gen. Samuel McGowan, and ask him to take steps to bring about such a brigade reunion by corres; pondence with the other regimental commanders of the brigade. j There being no further business, the meeting adjourned to meet in Winnsboro, ! on Saturday, October 29. N. C. ROBERTSON, Secretary. Probably a True Story.?Henry Simpson, of Henderson, Ky., has been in the habit of using dynamite for the purpose of blowing old tree stumps out of the ground. Recently he carelessly left the dangerous compound lying by the side of a stump. The dynamite was mixed with sawdust and gave an exceedingly pleasant odor, which attracted the attention of two of Simpson's hogs. They finished their inspection of the stuff by eating it, and then one of them, probably to aid and accelerate digestion, began rubbing its side against a post at the entrance to a mule's stall. The mule remained passive for only a few moments, and then, as mules will do, gave the hog a tremendous kick in the side. A terrible explosion followed, and when the smoke and dust had cleared away the * ' ? 1- --.l; i ~ hog was only round inaeiacnmenis, wime an enormous hole marked the spot where it had stood. The mule, of course, survived, or it wouldn't have been a mule, but it was the most surprised mule you ever saw. The other hog escaped and is now at large, greatly to the discomfiture of those in the habit of straying away from home at night. Growth in the Bulk of the Heart. Investigations show that the greatest and most rapid growth of the human heart takes place during the first and second years of life, the end of the second year showing its bulk to be exactly double what it originally was; between the second and seventh year it is again almost doubled, a slower rate of growth now setting in until the fifteenth year, and the augmentation of volume during the interving seven or eight years being only about two-thirds. In the period of maturity which then approaches the growth of the heart again mrkes progress, the increase keeping pace with the advance toward maturity of the other portions of the system?thus, as compared with its size at the age of 15, twothirds have been added by the age of 20; following the latter year, the rate of development again becomes slower, but an increase in volume is perceptible up to the fiftieth year. The annual gain in bulk J * ?- ?' - ?4/v U/\ nk/Mif uunng umt periuu issuppuaeu uj uc auuut, .061 of a cubic inch, and the maximum volume thus attained is estimated at from sixteen to seventeen cubic inches. The Sword of Damocles.?You will sometimes read an allusion to the sword of Damocles. Perhaps you have not understood what it meant. This is the ?tory. Some four hundred years before the time of Christ, Dionysius the elder was "tyrant," or ruler, of Syracuse, in Sicily. He was surrounded by courtiers, of whom Damocles was one. This man having flattered the tyrant and spoken in the most glowing language of the happiness of royalty, Dionysius resolved to teach him a severe lesson. Damocles was invited to the palace, but in the midst of the gorgeous banquet he happened to look upwards, when he beheld a keen-edged sword hanging above his head, and suspended by a single hair. His fear lest the hair might snap at any moment destroyed all hopes of enjoyment, and from that time his notions of royal bliss became changed. The same idea of the cares of the kingly state was expressed by Shakespeare, when he put into the mouth of Henry the Fourth the well known sentiment?"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Love Your Mother.?Next to the love of her husband, nothing so crowns a woman's life with honor as this second love, the devotion of the son to her. We have never known a boy to "turn out badly" who began by falling in love with his mother. Any man may fall in love with a fresh-faced girl, and the man who is gallant to the girl may cruelly neglect the poor and weary wife. But the big boy who truly loves and honors his mothor at his middle age is a genuine knight, who will love his wife as much in the sere-leaf autumn as he did in the daisied spring. , There is nothing so beautifully chivalrous as the love of a big boy for his mother. . Make all men provident, frugal, and self-denying; diligent, proud of work and self-respecting; quick to seize the chancds coming to their hand, and eager to store up useful knowledge, and when this has been done it will be found that, with the departure of idleness, dissipation, and ignorance, poverty has also disappeared. w /ROYALPjWgQ Hp ^AKlK6 POWDER Absolutely Pure.

I contracted malaria in tlic swamps of Louisiana while working for the telegraph company, and used every kind of medicine I could hear of without relief. I at last succeeded in breaking the fever, hut it cost me over ?100.00, and then my system was prostrated and saturated with malarial poison and I became almost helpless. I finally came here, my mouth so filled with sores that I could scarcely eat, and my tongue raw and filled with little knots. Various remedies were resorted to without effect. I bought two bottles of 1). 15. 15. and it has cured and strengthened me. All sores of my mouth are healed and my tongue entirely clear of knots ?and soreness, and 1 feel like a new man. A. F.

September 21 38 6t ELASTIC Gl'N WADDING. THE undersigned begs leave to call attention to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN WADDING, the only perfectly safe wadding for choke-bore breech-loading shot guns. By the use of this wad the recoil of a gun is les' sened, the distribution of theshot is more regur lar, and the range and penetration are greater. e Another advantage is that the gu' <s kept cleaner than when any other wad is used. Try " them. They are put up in boxes holding 25fi wads and are made in two grades. The price for the first grade is forty cents per box ; the second grade twenty-five cents. The first grade should be used over the powder?the second . grade over the shot. The first-grade wads are from one-half to three-eights of an inch in thickness, which makes them cheaperthan any other wad in the market, as only one of the first-grade wads is necessary on the powder, and one of the second-grade over the shot, to - give the best results. If you use a 12 gauge gun with brass shells, buy No. 9 wads. For paper shells use No. 11 wads. For guns of a different gauge, for brass shells, use a wad IUmaa uitnc 111 vtrni* then i K a Kama > I unco oi6co jai^oi wuan mo UU1U, 1UI" pciptJL 1 shells, one size larger. By this means the gases from the powder will be perfectly confined and the very best results obtained. Sample boxes will be sent by mail on receipt of forty cents for the first grade, and twenty. five cents for the second grade. Address, e E. A. SHARRETTS', Secretary, r P. O. Box 307, Baltimore, Sid.
