since the memorable night of the
31st of August 13fcG. when it caused
the wreck of two trains on the South
Carolina Railroad. This time, imw-
ever, the Railroad track escaped in

half full. The dam was n -t more
than half completed, and the break is
now sahl to measure about seventy-

About half past twelve ociock last
night just as our forms were being

what a clearing of tiie (lecka by the serv
ants! A prinre of the blocsl would not
I have net l ave been better received. The
! hansom tab driver beamed vvitli delight
! at having brought such an illustrious per-
j sonnge. tit id gave the hotel servants full
. particulars as to how, when and where he
I had hccuso lucky as to pack up “stie great
! Fred.”
Two hours afterward, when the sallo a
manger of the Grand hotsl was f ull, afl
heatls turned simultaneously to sec Mr. i
Frederick Archer chut the reotn. He
was in evening dross, and lookvd exceed- :
ingly well, llis gleaming linen set off ;
th« paleness of his complexion; his black, 1
shiny hair was cr.reluliy but simply
parted—in fact, there was not a detail of i
bis elegant toilet which was not perfec'.-Iy j
correct. Mr. Archer, formerly a stable j
lad, looked at that moment like the most !
distingue of gentlemen. If, however, you 1
went and seated yourself at Ida table, by !
the side of Capt. Barclay, his constant [
acolyte, you speedily saw that Fred
Archer distinction was only superficial, i
Sneering (ricananl alno menus ‘‘giggling”,' ]
every moment, and larding his remarks j
with (ho most malaproposoatlis, he «i»oke !
in a drawling and nasal tone of Ids vie- I
lories, hrs Lets, of all which concerned him
personally.
It was money which concerned him
most. Frederick Archer was very miser
ly, and the other jockeys, Iris rivals, say |
that tho great sobriety which disS.in- |
guished him was the result less of virtu- j
ous tendencies than of a horror of "part- j
ing.” Like all true iwisc*”;*, Archer not ■
only wanted to’keep nil ho had made but
to make as much more as pcs.dbk*. It is
princi, dly owing to this characteristic
beyon»! a doubt that ho has died “ten
times a millionaire.” Other Lnydish
.Jockeys have earned large sums: Archer
is tho only .no among them who knew
how to keep his money.
Archer always had tho best mounts.
Other jockeys wer** just as good, but he
was the fa: • on. until the public began
to believe that there was only one jockey,
only one Archer, in the world. Archer
had p’-onty of spirit, and las method was
:i successful one; hurt tho principal ex-
porta of the English turf say that he often
lost races through being over confident.
His great endeavor was to “finish” bril
liantly; this often gave him the appear
my Diomedes’ attire! How well hath be
preserved his toga and his buskins from
the last season—surely he will not want
others fur mouths to come!’ ”
"By the temple, you must be blind,
Iliparchominc!” cried Diomedes. “Upon
this toga there are many stains both here
in front and elsewhere, too, where I un
guardedly bare sat on benches newly
painted. And, look you, how tluit my
buskins do bag at the knees!”
“Xot so, O Diomtfues,” quoth TTiparche.
“Have I not eyes to see? Yet, even were
it as yon say—and so it is not—th’re is
about you a beauty end manly grace that
all people blind to what y*>u wear.
Heins, ai, ai? "tis not so with me—ai, ai.
helas! not so with your ILparche! It
has pleased the gods to make me very
human, and though I seek to be comely
In your eyes I find it hard to bo so. Look
with your two eyes, O Diomedes, upon
this flowing robe of mine axd tell me is it
not dowdy? By Zeus, I am ashamed to
be seen wearing it in the Acropolis, the
more so since but to-day I’haxylla—she
whom I detest—paraded before the house
clad in a new gown of Carthaginianpur-
pL!”
“By Hercules,” protested Diomedes.
“your robe beseems you: it hath preserved
its color and hath not last its shapeliness.
I like it well, remembering that I prid
My coma* tiie Cretan three tetradrachir.'S
of silver starters for it.”
“Nay. by that same Hercules, ’tie
dowdy!” cried Iliparehc, and thereupon
she fell to weeping and to beating of her
breast and to tearing of her hair, uttering
wild oaths to Pallas Athena and calling
the gods to witness that she wished sto

cared not how his wife looked so long as
he himself was well clothed. Whereupon
P’omedcs, touched wljh compassion for
Hiparche, drew from his purse four tetra-
dracinns, being his week’s salary, and
bade her buy tho raiment she desired.
'Tow, by the dog, how are the timas
changed! In these degenerate days we
have no semblance to Tiiparche, the
Athenian wife! O Zeus and ye other gods
immortal, dwellers on high Olympus,
Low hardly hast thou dealt with poster

Curious Experience In the Courts.
“An yld woman called on me to-day,”
said an old lawyer to a reporter, “\tho
had a curious experience in the courts a
good many years ago. Her husband and
ids relatives made an exchange of some
fiirms, ami with the carelessness usual to
people who trusted each other in that day
no deed wits made at the time, although
it was intended that one should be made.
Her husband died suddenly, and after
ward uu attempt was made to take the
farm from her by a suit in ejectment.
She could show no papers to show her
title, but gave a plain, straightforward
statement of her caso in a manner that
convinced every one that she had a moral
if not a legal right to hold the property.
Judge Greer, wiio was then on the bench,
was not sentimental and charged the jury
in favor of the plaintiff, according to the
strict rules of the law. To his surprise
the jury brought in a verdict in favor of
the defendant. Judge Greer ordered a
new trial immediately. ‘When the case
cr.mo up again substantially the same tes
timony was presented and the jury again
brought in a verdict for the defendant.

Greer to the jury, “that it takes thirteen
