The Sumter Pilgrim. Washington, June 1.?In the Senate reception room at the Capitol yesterday I met an old gentleman whom Senator Butler informed me was Capt. Eobert W. Andrews, of Sumter, South Carolina. He claims to be ninety-three years old, and is engaged in walking from Sumter to Boston to visit a son residing in the latter city. The Captain wears heavy brogan shoes, his pantaloons are of a light check, and his vest is of a gray material, worn over what appears to be a liuen coat. * There was no coat over the vest, but the entire outfit was covered with a thick frey shawl. His face is wrinkled and is whiskers are white. His eyes are bright and his step is as light as' any man's could be with- such^shoes. He ex? plained the absnnce of an upper coat by saying*' that the shawl was more conven? ient, as he could take -it off in the heat of. the day and cover himself with it when the.cool evening came on. - The Captain Bays be has a wife sod ten children, all of the latter being married. Ia 1812 he-drove from Statesburg, Mass., ?to; Charleston, C., and back, making the trip in six months. He is making Eis present trip"on foot simply for pleas ure as he puts it, and to" notice the changes in the country through which he travelled so many years ago. His only companion is a little black dog which he calls. "Fido." He is armed with two. pistols and a paper box of cer? tificates as to his good character and en? dorsements; from officials and citizens in and around Sumter. One letter was from a brother in-lawof Senator Wade Hamp? ton. His object for stopping in Washing? ton was to See General Hampton and to - pay his respects to -President Arthur. He says he has spoken to every President from Washington down to; Arthur, with the exception of the late President Gar field. The Captain travels about twenty-five miles a day. Thus far he has had good Jack,.always a cpmfor^blejbed.^osleep in at night "and plenty to eat He is pre? pared to pay for all be-gets, but.-very few persons with whom he has stopped have allowed him to pay. He has been well treated all along the road. The Captain says he never uses-tobacco in any form, but sometimes "takes a dram" when he thinks he needs it. He will not drink poor liquor. _ IT.. Jje^ cannot get good liquor he[ gofflwUhputit. If he needs two or ithree ?.'dirams'* a day he takes th3m,^whe^8?nietimes-*goes'for weeks without touching a drop. He appeared to be very anxious to see Senator Hampton. When he reached Bichmond, Va., some one informed him that Congress.would adjourn -before he could get4bJW?Bh1nglx>n. The-Captain boarded .a train and rode seven miles then got off and made the rest of the journey on foot. Senator Butler told him that Senator Hampton was expected in .Wash? ington Friday or Saturday of this week and that seemed to satisfy the Captain. He was the object of much attention from employees and visitors to the. Capitol. He talks freely.about his tramp and inci? dents connected with it. --While in Washington Capt. Andrer.s is the guest of Messrs.^homas B.THarney and J. Crogan/bofch of the pension office, recent? ly of Samter.?Dispatch.to the News and Courier The Two Different Kinds. "I don't know," says the bad boy, "about this thing of waiting till yon find out about a girl's religion before yon love her. Sometimes you can't do it. If a girl has not got any sign out warning a fellow what kind of religion she has got concealed about her person, how is he going to know until it "is everlastingly too late. When a young feller falls in love ?with*-a -gjbriVit* is like -falling down on skates. Everything seems to give way at once. It Btnkes him like a sand bag, and there he is, asphyxiated the first thing. He knows that she is perfect,, and he takes her right into his heart and 'wraps his heart around her, and puts rub bei: weather strips on all _ihe cracks so she can't get oat, and her religion is the last thing he thinks of. If her religion puils her ode way, his heart pulls b?r t'other way, something's got to bust,. soraetimes it's the religion that busts, and sometimes it's the heart. I think there ought to be a convention composed of delegates from all kinds of religion, and let them make a law that any reli? gion shall be legal tender anywhere like a gold dollar. Religion ought to be pure gold, good anywhere. If a man comes in here to bay soap, and gives you a gold dollar, coined in Borne, or Jerusalem, or California, or China, or Russia, or the .Feejee Islands, he gets his soap. But if your son is in love with a Hebrew girl, her religion says your son's religion is counterfeit, and goes to her grave with yonr son's love in her heart, and he goes to ;;he bad with her image in his heart, and both are ruined for life 'cause they couldn't match their religion. A Baptist gir! falls in love with a young fellow that is a perfect specimen of manhood, brave, noble, intelligent, tender to her and as kind as a man can be, and they begin to plan for the day when he can take her to a home and be all the world and a small section of Heaven to her, when some day a friend says to her: 'Your lover is one of <me noblest men I ever saw, bat it is a pity he is a Catholic/ Then the trouble commences. He believesrhis religion is the grandest in the world, and she be? lieves hers is no slouch, each tries to in? duce the other to adopt another religion, but it is a failure and they drift apart in all except the buried love that can never be quenched on earth, or in Heaven. I tell you itnr.~Hy tough to have so many different kinds of religion that can't be made to jibe, don't you think so ?"? Peck's Sun. Base Ball as Seen by a Girl. A girl's notion of the national game is called off pretty accurately by the letter of a young city lady to her girl chum in the country. "You must visit me," she wrote, "when the base ball season opens. There is so mach skill and grace displayed. The pitcher, I think?but, my 1 you never ?aw a game, I will explaiu it to you. The pitcher?a dear little thing?stands in the middle and. throws a ball at another who stands in front with a long stick in his band. The thrower tries to hit his stick, and the other yoang man, who is called the knocker, tries to swing the club that it will be impossible for the thrower to hit the stick with the ball. Some of the knockers become very good at this, and some of the darlings could stand there and never have their clubs hit once. The catcher stands behind the knocker, and is just too brave for any? thing. We girls think he is the nicest one in every club. I think the catchers are very cote and heroic? Merchant Traveller. ? The New York Herald insists that the proposed repeal of the brandy excise' tax is a delusion and a snare. It at? tempts to reason with the farmer thus: It is not only proposed to free from tax brandy that is made from peaches, plums and such fruits, but also that which is made from grapes?the chief source of this liquor; so that for every farmer who might be relieved of six or seven dollars of tax there would be a wine maker who would be saved his thousands. That is to say, the repeal of the tax would build up a few very large establishments and create monopolies, but give uo real benefit to the farmer himself. There would be offered many opportunities for fraudnlent practices, and this reason alone ought to be suffi? cient to condemn the proposition. ? Be the first to hold out the hand of peace. A War Story. Henry J. Savage, one of the Soldiers' Home veterans, tells the following thrill? ing story of a war incident: "The oft mooted question, "Was ever a desperate? ly wounded soldier shot dead at his own earnest solicitation, by a comrade?" is answered in the affirmative by your bumble servant. It happened as follows: The writer, a member of G Company, First Delaware Infantry, was then at? tached to the Third Brigade (Weber's), I Third Division (French's), Second Corps ! (Sumner's). After wading through An tietam Creek, plunging through plowed fields, stubble fields and corn fields, bis regiment was finally located within plain view of the enemy, when the wel? come command rang along the line to "load and fire at will." It was then that our daily target practice at Fortress Monroe came into excellent use, as many a poor devil of the Sixth Alabama learned to his coat. After firing eleven rounds the writer was wounded and -ordered to the rear. While retreating in good order, bat making most excellent time, his route led him through a portion of the Irish brigade. Here he saw a sight that capped the climax of horror. A member of that devoted brigade was aimlessly stumbling around with both eyes shot out, begging some one, "for the love"of Gor3,,r to put an end to hiB misery.. A lieutenant of the Fourth New York was passing by, and seeing the poor fellow's' condition and hearing his appeal, he asked if he really meant what he said. "Oh, yes, comrade," was the reply, "I cannot possibly live, and my agony is unendurable." Without another word the officer drew his pistol, placed it to the victim's right ear, turned away his head, and pulled the trigger. A half wheel, a convulsive grasp, aud one more poor unfortunate had passed over to the silent majority. "It was better^thus/' said the lieuten? ant, replacing his pistol and turning to? ward the writer, "for the poor fellow could-" Just then a solid shot took the lieuten? ant's head off, and the "subsequent pro? ceedings interested him no more."? Milwaukee Sentinel A Wonderful Child. A Eichmond (Ind.) letter to the Chicago News says: We have a mathe? matical wonder here. It is a child six years of age, the son of Mr L._ Price, a journeyman carpenter. The little fellow does not know figures any better than he does letters, in which he is not perfect by any means; yet he mentally solves problems way up in the hundreds that would require paper and pencil with the average business man, and he gives you an answer as promptly as most boys of his years could give yon their age. After answering a number of questions in mul? tiplication he., was. ^asked. if be was prompt in addition and substraction, and as he replied-he did not know what that meant, yet: when given sums and sub? tractions to do he did them as quickly as be had the examples in multiplication. For instance, yon give him your age in years and he will tell you instantly bow many weeks old you are. Sometimes he will answer in this wise: Twenty times thirty are ten sixties; but an instant after he will tell yon ten sixties are 600. However, in his calculations he is not governed by the rule of tens at all, for be just as promptly answers when the amount does not include a cypher as when it concludes with one. His father said he began asking and solving problems in a small way the latter part of last summer; but he gave up the habit until about Christmas, when he again became interested in figures, or rather mental calculations, and has recently developed the charac? teristic that certainly stamps him as a wonder. In appearance he is childlike, but in aotioos more manly, oaring more about being with his father and the lat ter's associates than with his own play? mates. In development his forehead is rather broad, but the other parts.of his head and his body are not beyond ordi? nary, his weight being forty-six pounds. His parents have two other children, not remarkably bright.' Fitting Webster Against Himself, Public men sometimes find it inconven? ient to be confronted by a previous utter? ance after they have changed their opin? ions. The Youth's Companion gives an interesting incident of thiB sort which occurred in connection with a speech by Mr. Webster at a. great tariff dinner at Philadelphia in 1846: At that time no Philadelphia paper had a corps of reporters at all competent to make quick work of a two hours' speech, which requires eight men to re? port verbatim with the requisite dispateh for an early issue. The consequence was that it was past ten o'clock the next morning before the Whig paper appeared. There was a saucy little Democratic sheet published then, called the Pennsyl vanian, edited by the late Colonel For? ney, which played a nice trick upon ah expectant public. The editor hunted up Mr. Webster's great speech on the tariff delivered in 1824, which was a thorough? going argument for free, trade, in direct opposition to the oration of the evening before. Colonel Forney struck off a large edition of this speech as a supple? ment to his paper, heading it, in his largest type, Webster's Great Speech on the Tariff. The newsboys made the town ring with this cry soon after sunrise. Horace Greeley, who had come over from New York on purpose to hear the speech, and was anxious to get an early copy for publication in the New York Tribune, rushed out of his hotel and bought sev? eral of them. Many thousands of copies were sold before the joke was discovered. The Democrats were naturally in great good-humor to see Mr. Webster thus ar? rayed against himself. Th$ Whigs could not be expected to relish jthe jest, least of all Mr. Greeley, who vented his anger in unmeasured language. Mr. Webster himself, who loved a joke, took it in good part, laughed hear? tily, and said to the friend who handed hini the paper, "I think Forney has printed a much better speech thau the one I made last night." Chained to a Rock to Die, A dispatch from Wheeling, W. Va., says: "John Adams, a prominent and wealthy farmer, and Sheriff of Webster county, became infatuated with a disso? lute character. To free himself from his wife Adams brought suit for divorce on tbe ground of unfaithfulness, and se? cured witnesses to sustain tbe charge. After the granting of the divorce Mrs. Adams disappeared from the neighbor? hood, and it was supposed that she had left the county. Saturday evening one of her children, aged 13, who was visiting a few miles from home, in climbing Mount Hero, a moUntain thickly wood? ed, oame across a rail pen. Looking in, he saw a woman. He ran to the nearest house for friends. Returning tbey found the mother of the child nearly dead from exposure, chained to a rock in the pen. On being revived she said her husband had bad ber taken to a cave and kept there till almost dead from starvation. Two days before he brought her to the pen and fastened her by the chain. Tbe place where she was found is lonely, aud is not visited once in a year. It is sup? posed that the husband meant to let her die, then remove the chains and make it appear a case of suicide. Tbe country is terribly roused, and the guilty man and his dissolute friend will be lynched if caught. Mrs. Adams will die." ? Like a piece of steel, that man is the strongest and most elastic who always retains his temper. ? The Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer says: "Since the announcement of the $400,000 bequest left by the late William Maxwell to Charles F. Ritchtel, of this city, to improve and experiment with his flying machine, letters from all parts of the world have been pouring in asking the professor for information about the bequest and his balloon. Some describe the machines they have invented, and many ask for sums of money to perfect ideas of their own. Seven people have notified him within ten days that they each contemplate leaving money to pros? ecute the experiments. One man writes that he has 'the only flying machine on earth in his mind,' and wants $500 right off to make drawings and the first ma? chine. In a postscript he adds that he will send for another $500 if the first is not sufficient. Another man from St. Louis writes that he bas invented a flying machine on the 'frog system.' The ma? chine is to give gigatic leaps of 500 yards and come down easily on an incline plane." ? Some time ago a Newberry man who holds an account against a Georgia man sent him a note for the amount of the debt and asked him to sign it. Th 3 debtor, who is a well-meaning man, having a wholesome fear of written ob? ligations before his eyes, sent the New berrian. this laconic answer: "I be dog goned if I'll sign anything." ? ? Preacher haviDg married a couple in the church the other day, unfortunate? ly gave out as the very next hymn, /Mistaken souls.that dream of Heaven." ? A coroner's jury has no right to say, when they render a verdict, that any one was wilfully murdered by such a one. That is left to a jury to say in the Ses? sions Court. The verdict of a coroner's jury should simply state the facts aud no more. When a person has been shot and the slayer known, the verdict should read : That A came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by B, &c, &c. As to whether the killing was murder, or man? slaughter, or justifiable homicide, is a matter for a petit jury. For a coroner's jury to pronounce a killing wilful murder is unfair to the accused. We notice that this is becoming very common and Coro? ners and Trial Justices who hold inquests should put a stop to it.?Saluda Argus. ? Dr. Donald Macleod, a Scotch clergyman, recently preached a sermon on "The Sin of Cheapness." He said that the "craving for cheapness and hunting after bargains is not only eco? nomically false, out a cause of great suffering to thousands of men, women and children." ? Mrs. Fred Grant is a beautiful and heroic woman. When informed of the failure of her husband and the necessity for economy in her domestic relations she remarked: "I have lived on the army rations once, I can do it again." Every honorable man will feel sympathy for such a woman. ? What the country wants the most just now is less religion aud more piety, less politics and more patriotism and less nedieree and more pluck. TUTTS PILLS TORPID BOWELS, DISORDERED LIVER, and MALARIA.

Said the old gentleman, "Now, doctor, you have been treating me for a long time, and haven't done me much good. I'm tired of all this. I want you to strike at the root of all my disorders." Said the doctor, "Do you mean exactly what you say?" ?'To be sure I do," said the venerable invalid. "Well, here goes!" said the doctor;?and with one whack of his cane he broke to pieces the brandy-bottle which stood on the mantel. The old gentleman was angry and excited, but he had a good answer ready for the doctor. "Doctor, if it hadn't been for your doctrine, I never would have got into the habit of drinking." * j?)

R. W. BOMEE. A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OP MACON, GA. In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Oa., came over to sec me with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the last stages of consumption and that her physician had pronounced her case hope lew. I went immediately over, and I felt that nothing could be done. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a large quantity 'of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the time you began to ad? vertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her In small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed dose was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she ia never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never leta an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medi? cine would be required, that he does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long since a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida beard of this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic."

CANCER The development of the treatment of Cancer with Swift's Specific seem so won? derful, that all so afflicted should write us. CANCER FOB 14 YEARS. Spartanburg, S. C, March 14, 1884. I have for 14 years been a sufferer from a ruuning sore on ray face that everybody called a Cancer. I have used over $300 worth of medicine and found no relief. About four months ago I bought one bottle of Swift's Specific Irora Dr. H. E. Heinitsh, and since have bought five others, have taken it, and they have cured me sound and well! My face is as free from a sore as anybody's, and my health is perfectly re? stored. I feel like forty years had been lifted off my nead. Hours thankfully, ELIZA TINSLEY. Mr. B. F. Burns, Hope, Ark., says, un? der date of Jan. 22, 1884: "I have taken five bottles of Swift's Specific for a sore on my temple?said to be a cancer. I have been wonderfully benelitted and will soon be a well man." Mr. W. R. Robison, Davisboro, Ga., writes, under date Jan. 3, 1884 : "I am get? ting on finely, the ulcer is gradually heal? ing. I feel that Swift's Specific will cure the horrible cancer which has been feeding on me for over 20 years." Mr. W. H. Gilbert, Albany, Ga., says: "A gentleman named Moore near this city had an eating cancer on his face, which had eaten away his nose and his under lip, and had extended up until it had nearly reach? ed his'eye. The cancer was eating his gums and had rendered his teeth so loose that he thought they might at any time drop out. He has been taking Swift's Specific about three months, and its effect has been won? derful. It has driven the poison from his system, the cancer has healed greatly, his teeth have become strong again, and be thinks he has bean rescued from an awful death. He is the most enthusiastic man I ever saw." SHOES AND BOOTS. T HAVE a full line of Bay State Shoes A and Boots. Warranted not to rip and to have no wood or paste board.
