THE "WIND AND WATERS. 5- Oa Wednesday afternoon of last week a cyclone did considerable damage near ;the city and in the eastern section of the J;(&rin!jv It ia said to have atarted from ^?fibbot .the colored cemetery, one mile /'.south of the city, and. went whirling-in \ea^ter"^'directioh, almost in the same |p^ihrufthe" cyclone that .did so mach "^toagp two years ago.

The mail train from ^ Jre&was; on its way to Anderson and ' .the. cyclone approaching, but the er stopped the train .in a cut and Vits fury.

Yet this is what Governor Boss, of Texas, has done. $2,000,000 has accumulated in the treasury of that State, and the Governor has called the Legislature together to devfse a plan of reducing taxation and to say what shall be done about the surplus. Senator Wade Hampton, says the New York Sun, is one of the few. members of the United States Senate who has a cor? rect idea of speech-making. While Mr. Hampton's ability is acknowledged, he is seldom publicly heard from. Speak? ing on the subject to a friend recently, Mr. Hampton said that he did not believe in speech-making. He regarded it as a great waste of time. In his opin? ion it had never changed a vote. If Mr. Hampton could inspire a few of his Democratic friends in the Senate with the sentiments that actuate him he would deserve the thanks of the country. Arrangements for a reunion of the sur? vivors of the army of the Potomac with the survivors of the army of Northern Virginia, are progressing satisfactorily. George William Curtis will deliver an oration, George Parsons Lathrop a poem and Bishop Horatio Potter, of New York, an address of welcome. Some - distinguished confederate will be selected to make a reply to the address of wel? come. The reunion will be on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of July next, at Gettysburg, and will conclude with a grand banquet. President Cleveland, General Sherman, General Sheridan and many other dis? tinguished officers on both sides of the contest will be present. It is useless to grumble about the -weather so early in the year. Perhaps the worst is yet to come. The Bev. Mr. Hicks, of St. Louis, who has made few if any mistakes op to date, predicts no end of trouble daring almost every month, in , the year. He says that we are to have a spring and summer of violent storms, and another earthquake period in Sep? tember; It is to be hoped that Mr. Hicks knows no more about such things than the other weather prophets, but he continues to hit it right along, and peo? ple cannot help feeling a little uneasy. He has made so mach fame that it is an easy matter to depress the joiliest crowd by simply mentioning his name. The. correspondence between the Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church resulting from, the conference of last summer looking to the rennion of the Northern and Southern churches has been made pnblic Pour topics were discussed, doctrine, church boards, negro communicants, and political deliveran? ces. Upon the first three of these a modus vivendi has been reached. There was no dispute about the first two, and ? the position of the negro members of the Church has been arranged satisfactorily. As far as the difference as to the duties of the Church touching political deliver? ances is concerned the Assemblies have not yet been able to agree: The 100th anniversary of the establishment of Pres bjterianism w?l occur in .May, and the two Assemblies will meet in that month, one at Philadelphia and the other at Baltimore. A grand reunion during the sessions has been arranged, and it is believed that the goodfellowship of the meeting will end in a speedy and lasting onion of the two Assemblies. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. <3. March 2, i888. The great International Council of Women met promptly on the day fixed for its assembling the past week, and the daily sessions held in the largest Opera House in the city have been crowded, notwithstanding the large admission fee charged. The tickets for the course were fixed at $4. Some of the subjects on which papers were read and discussed were as follows: The work of Unitarian. Women; The Limits of Women's In? fluence ; Hospitals managed by and for Women; Missionary Work; Women and Temperance; How to reach the Children; The Temperance Hospital, and numerous other subjects. It is a remark*, able fact, bat true, that while the con? vention- has among it a great mapy very distinguished and brainy women there was not. to be found among the 300 dele? gates a single one who was short haired, clad in_cpDspicnous dress reform costume, nor otherwise marked in any way with the insignia of strong minded women as pictured in the minds of most people. - The funeral of the late Chief Justice Waite was of the simplest order, out of deference to the expressed wishes of the family. No services were held at the house and the remains were taken to the Chamber of the House of Representatives, accompanied only by the relatives and immediate friends of the family, and by the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. At the Capitol no person was admitted except such as had passes. The President and his Cabinet, as well as the Senators and Representatives, occupied seats on the floor of the Chamber, while the galleries were occupied by; members of the Diplomatic Corps, families of Cabinet officers and members of Congress, and others having cards of admission. Mrs. Cleveland and Miss is yard, both dressed in deep black, occupied seats in the gallery. The solemnity of the occas? ion was heightened when the vast audi? ence present, both on the floor and in the gallery rose of one accord and joined in the recitation of tbe Apostle's Creed. The remains were then taken to the train and accompanied to Toledo by the escort composed of Senators and Representa? tives and certain of the. Justices of the Court, and at Toledo were met by Mrs. Waite, who had just arrived from Cali? fornia, where she was sojourning at tbe time of her husband's death. No suc? cessor to the Chief Justice has yet been decided on,, but many prominent Demo? crats both in and out of Congress have expressed themselves in favor of the appointment of Associate Justice Miller to the Chief Justiceship, although he is a Republican. The name of Speaker Carlisle, however, is prominently men? tioned in connection with it, and as the office would be congenial to Mr. Carlisle's tastes he may receive the appointment, in which event it seems to be pretty well conceded here that Sunset Cox, of New York, will be elected to the Speaker ship. Now that the tariff is fairly before the House, its consideration will take up most of the time for some weeks to come, and some lively debates may be looked for. The serious illness of Chairman Mills has preventd the submission of the report of the House before now, but the members of both parties have availed themselves of the tin: d to consider the bill in all it a provisions and to prepare their speeches thereon. The bill as recommended by the Com? mittee on Rivers and Harbors appropriates $10,432,783, and of that sum the Southern States get more than they have at any time heretofore. The Western States also get a very generous portion of it, and while the amount is considered very large, still the indications at the Capitol are that the Senate will add still more to it when it gets there. Great excitement is prevailing heie over the discovery that $10,000 worth of good mail bags have been stored away in the damp cellars of the Post Office and allowed to rot while every year calls have been made for more bags. It is charged that this wrong has continued for years past, and is brought to light now only by the removal of the Superin? tendent who has bad charge of that . branch for 23 years past. H. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Atlanta, Ga., March 29.?Four white boys, on their way to serve senten? ces in the Dade coal mines, were given a cell at police headquarters this morning. Tbey are all from Raburn county, and the oldest is only eighteen. The youthful criminals have been convicted .of grave offences, and all four of them allege that whiskey was the cause*of the crimes. Andrew Quails, a bright looking boy, sixteen years of age, was convicted of breaking into his employer's safe' and stealing $100, and received a sentence of two years in the coal mines. J. M. Can trell, aged seventeen, had three years' sentence to serve for forging an order for $1,50 worth of whiskey. James Harvey,' aged seventeen, was convicted of a crimi? nal assault on a young girl fourteen years of age, and sentenced to bard labor foi fifteen years. Joseph Hopkins was con? victed of complicity in the murder of Wm. Thomas, in Rabuu county. He is ? eighteen years old, and goes up for life. Cablinsville, III., March 29.? When John Dietz, who was killed by Wineland last fall, lay on his dying bed he called his 12 year-old adopted eon to his side and requested him never to rest until he had avenged the murder of his foster-father. Yesterday he carried out his father's dying request. Meeting Wineland on the street in Girard, in this county, he drew a revolver and with the utmost deliberation fired, tbe ball enter? ing Wineland's side and inflicting a fatal wound. The youngster acknowledges he did tbe shooting. He is now in jail. The difficulty that led to tbe killing of Dietz arose over a sale note. Augusta, Ga., March 28.?Andrew Jones, the eighteen-year-old son of Mr. William Jones, of Brownville, died at eleven o'clock last night. The young man was stung on the neck by a spider, two weeks ago. The sting was very painfnl, and the neck and side of the face were greatly swollen. Erysipelas set in, which produced death. Atlanta Ga., March 29.?This morn? ing about 9:30 o'clock Mr. M. E. Smith, who works in the Southern Ex? press office, was bitten by a rattlesnake that lay concealed in a crate of cabbages. Tbe cabbages were shipped from Jack? sonville, Fla., and Mr. Smith was mov? ing them preparatory to their delivery to a commission merchant. As he placed his hand on the crate he felt a stinging sensation in one of his fingers and saw that a huge snake had fastened its fiangs in his flesh. In a few seconds tbe hand and arm began to swell and Mr. Smith was driven hurriedly to Dr. Gas ton's office. Dr. Gas ton saw the young man. was in danger of losing his life and he gave him a hypodermic injection of permanganate of potash?a solution of two grains to a dram of water. This antidote to snake poison was first used by a Brazilian phy? sician, and its efficacy was so great that the doctor was given a handsome reward by the government. The treatment re? lieved Mr. Smith immediately and he was sent to his home. From last accounts he was doing well. Conway, S. C. March 29.?A sad oc . cnrence has just taken place in Lhis coun? ty. On the 20th instant a little boy be? tween 3 and 4 years old, son of Mr. Button, living some nine miles from this Slace In the Cedar neighborhood, wan ered away from home and became lost in the woods. His absence was not particularly noticed until the dinner hour, when the family came to dinner. He had then been away some time. Search was immediately instituted. The surrounding woods were closely searched for a considerable distance. The search lasted from Tuesday until Sunday after? noon, day and night, but no trace of the' little fellow could be found, and the search was abandoned. Yesterday a man hunting in the woods, some three miles from Mr. Sutton's, found the little boy lying dead down by the side of a large bay. It is a matter of surprise how he could have escaped the notice of the searching parties, and it is especially surprising now he managed to make his way that distance through the small bays and branches lying between his home and tbe place where he was found. Nothing had disturbed tbe poor child's body. Horrible Fate of a Hundred Missouri Coal Miners, St. Louis, March 29.?At Rich Hill, Mo., at 4.80 o'clock this afternoon a ter? rible accident occurred, which will un? doubtedly result in the loss of 100 lives. At the hour named two explosions were heard, and later it was found that mines Nos. 5 and 6, situated six miles from town, had caved in, burying an un? told number of miners in its ruins. As soon as tbe information reached town everything became at once a scene of confusion and excitement, and informa? tion is yet difficult to obtain. Before dark forty bodies had been taken from the mine. The superinten? dent of tbe mine was taken out more dead than alive, but may possibly recover. Rich Hill is sixty-five miles from Kansas City, on tbe Fort Scott and Gulf road. Later, dispatches say the first exj... sion occurred at 12.10 p. m., killing twenty or thirty men. Superintendent Sweeney and his assistant immediately began the work of rescuing tbe imprisoned miners, and up to 4.30 had succeeded in saving fifteen men, when the second explosion occurred, involving Superintendent Swe ney and his aids. The fire was terrific shooting out from tbe top of a 270 foot' shaft like a great furnace. Further effort to save the miners was hopeless, and as hundreds of men, women and children crowded about the burning shaft, the scene became heartrending in tbe ex I treme. Tbe bodies recovered represent a small proportion of tbe number at work, and it is supposed tbe further loss of life will be very great. At 9 p. ra. another ex? plosion was momentarily expected. The flames were almost within reach of the magazine containing three or four hun? dred kegs of powder. The superintendent of the Rich Hill Mining Company is now in charge of tbe work of attempted rescue, but it is not ex expecM he will accomplish much. Mine No. 6 belonged to the Keith and Ferry Case Company, and was inspected about two months ago by Mine Inspector Wolfe. ? Frank McKibben, a well-to-do and industrious farmer of Coffeeville, Miss., picked up his axe one day i the latter part of January, walked up a slight in? cline from his residence to where a log of pine lay, and stepped up with the inten? tion of splitting it. His son, aged 10 years, ran down to where his father was at work, and, wl m within ten feet of the log slipped, the ground being covered with ice, and shot straight under the axe as it was descending. McCibben, in a wild effort to save his son, fell off the log on his back, but too late, the axe sunk in the little fellow's head. ? Mr. Dawson, of Marion Ind., began marrying in 1832, and now at tbe age of 75 has just married his seventh wife. None of the seven was over 31 years old when Bhe became Mrs. Dawson. m Cheeky Georgia Traitors. Atlanta, Ga., March 30.?It is not generally known, but it is nevertheless true, that Georgia furnished one regi? ment of infantry to the Federal service during the civil war. It was not a full regiment, and somehow tbe officers and men were never paid for their services, although they did hard fighting, and a number of them were killed and wound? ed. They are before this Congress with a petition. This Georgia command was made up among the hard Unionists of Whitfield, Murray, Fannin, Dawson and Piokens, tbe last two counties furnishing the majority of recruits. When John? ston's army abandoned its position about Dalton and debouched across the Ooste maula, ono James H. Brown, of Whit? field was authorized by General Thomas, commanding tbe Army of the Cumber? land, to raise and equip a regiment for guard duty along the line of the Western and Atlantic Bnilroad, Colonel Brown i partly accomplished his mission, organ? ized several companies, and proved a i valuable ally to the Federals during the I stirring campaign that followed. When Sherman had approached very near the gates of Atlanta Colonel Brown and his command came to sudden grief. One evening, while he was in camp near tbe town of Cartersville, Ga., General W. T. Wofford, who commanded a detachment of Confederate troops, raided his bivouac and killed, captured or scattered Brown's men. No one ever heard of them from that time until they approached this Congress with tbe demand that their muster rolls be re-established and they be paid for their services. Tbey are represented by W. H. Walker, an attor? ney of Dalton, and Mr. Candler has in? troduced a bill for their relief. Another Perpetual Motion Mau. Canandaigua, March 29.?David Jennings, of Lyons, Wayne County, who has passed twenty-one years and spent $30,000 trying to discover perpetual mo? tion, claims he has got it at last. He has patented and has on exhibition a machine which runs at great speed with? out any outside agency whatever. It is an ordinary chain, made of iron links two inches in length, running over a triangular frame work shapened like a harp. Tbe chain runs on wheels placed at the three angels, and is so constructed that when descending the long side of the triangle the links double up and tbe increased weight keeps up the motion. From tbe character of the motive power, the movement of the chain constantly increases in rapidity, and a brake is re? quired to regulate it. ? There are 296,190 persons in New I York city who do not speak English. ? What is supposed to be a Confeder? ate gold dollar was found in an ash-heap in Atlanta recently, and Bold for $30. It is said that only six such coins were issued By the Confederate Government, and if genuine this specimen would be worth $650. ? A pneumatic tube company that proposes to blow passengers under the ocean to Europe in eight hours has been incorporated in New York. Tbe passen . ger cars will travel like a cannon ball, the organizers say, and will be quite safe and comfortable. ? Conductor R. P. Dodge, of the Georgia railroad, fast line, is not only one of the most careful and thorough officers on that road, but is an expert in chicken raising and egg culture. From a small lot in Atlanta, last year, Mr. Dodge sold $1,000 worth of eggs. ? It is believed that the cotton gin Was invented in South Carolina, and this claim has much evidence to sustain it. We are now about to present to tbe world the first and only successful cotton picker. The oldest railroad1 of its length, in the world is the South Carolina Railway, from Charleston, S. C, to Augusta, Ga. ?"Indians in the United States last year cultivated 227,265 acres of land and raised 724,958 bushels of wheat, 984,972 bushels of corn, 512,137 bushels of oats and barley, 524,010 bushels of vegetables and 101,828 tons of hay. They also own? ed 358,384 horses and mules, 111,407 head of cattle, 40,471 swine and 1,117,273 sheep. ? An Indiana man, fearing grave rob? bers, put a let of dynamite into the coffin containing the body of bis daughter, and this fact was well known. The other day his wife died, and the grave diggers had a dangerous job digging a grave beside that of the daughter, and many persons would not go to the cemetery, fearing an explosion. ? South Corolina made the first ex? portation of cotton from America, and wbjle this experiment was not successful, it laid the foundation for the immense business that has since developed, and caused the general cultivation of this crop, which, for many years, made the South, in some respects, tbe most power? ful section of the Union. ? Mrs. Julia D. Grant has received from t!ie general's book about $450,000, and a pension oT $5,000 from tbe nation. ? She also has the income from the $250,000 raised by George Jones from Jay Gould, James Gordon Bennett and others. She also has the income from $100,000 raised by .George W. Childs. In* other words, she has the income on not far from $1, 000,000. ? Mrs, Mollie Corwein, of Shelbyville, Ind., is suing for divorce from her sixth husband. She has already been divorced from the other five. Mrs. Corwein (her most recent name) seems to be very bard to please. It is outrageous that she should have had six husbands and isn't satisfied with that; while 60,000 Massa? chusetts women have never been married at all.?Boston Globe. ? Emancipation is progressing rapidly in some parts of Brazil. In the Province of San Paulo the slaves are being set free at the rate of 500 to 600 a day, and the Legislature has passed a bill forbidding the use of the prisons for tbe custody of runaway slaves. Thousands of runaways have returned to work on being assured that they would be paid wages and not deprived of their liberty. Important liberations are taking place in other pro? vinces, but much less numerous than those of San Paulo. ? A cablegram has been received at Raleigh, N. C, announcing the death on March 17, at Shanghai, of the Rev. Dr. Matthew T. Yates, the celebrated Baptist missionary. Dr. Yates was born in Wake County, N. O, on January 8, 1819 and was in his seventieth year. Forty years ago he was sent to China, and has been there ever since, except for one short vis? it to this country, about thirty years ago. He made Shanghai his headquarters, and was eminently successful in his mission? ary work. He was the pride of his church in this position, and his death carries with it a personal bereavement to every member of bis church. He had translated the New Testament into the Chinese language, and was revising the proof for the press when death overtook him. ? A terrible accident happened on Friday evening of last week to Johnnie Wright, son of Mr. Wallace Wright, who lives six miles North of Johnston. Un? hitching his mule from tbe plow at the close of the day's work, he mounted tbe mule's back to ride to tbe house, leaving the gears on with the hamestring still tied, but before attaining the proper position and securing the check-line the animal made a sudden dash, throwing him to tbe ground, with one foot fast to the gears. In this condition the mule ran with him for a distance of nearly three hundred yards, his body at times bounding in tbe air higher than the mule's back. John? nie's sister, who happened to be near, ran and beaded off the frightened animal and succeeded in bringing him to a halt, but not until Johnnie's head and face were bruised almost beyond recognition. His body was also terribly bruised, though his injuries, we are glad to learn, are not likely to prove fatal.?Edgefield Monitor, March 22. Core for Siok Headache.

Willis Point, Texas Dec. 1, 18S5. After suffering for more than three vears with disease of the throat and lungs, I got so low last Spring I was entirely unable to do anything, and my cough was so bad I scarcely slept any at night.

IT would be impossible for me to describe the suffering I have endured through all my life, and especially for the past four years, until I applied to Dr. W. B. Brown? ing, a man vho doctors entirely with roots and herbs. I have been under care of va? rious physicians, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, bnt could get only temporary relief. After taking Dr. Brown? ing's medicines for some time my troubles have greatly decreased, and I feel like a new man, and am able to attend to my business once more. I advise all who are suffering like myself not to delay, bnt consult Dr. W. B. Browning at once, whose place of business is two and one-half miles south of Seneca City. I am now thorough? ly convinced that no one can take his med? icines for any lung or kidney disease with? out being greatly benefited. Any one wishing further infurmatien can address J. L.
