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

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 ?"?

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

? 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.

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."?

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.

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.

a few words from
CAPT. 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."
Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates.

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."

Specific Remedies for
Woman's Woes.
BEADFTELE'S FEMALE EES?LATOE
Is a result of a Rklllful and scientific combination
pf thattipecial class of medicines known to act spe?
cifically on the womb and uterine organs; and
Is therefore a special remedy for all diseases
pertaining to the womb. Its great efficacv In
cases of suppressed or painful menstruation,
the Whites, and Partial Prolapsus, stands un?
challenged. In these cases it affords immediate
relief, and permanently restores the men?
strual function, and thus protects woman
Irom a long train of disastrous consequent. As
an unfailing remedy to be used during that critw^l
period known as "Change of Life," thU in?
valuable preparation has no rival.
