Indirectly it probably has some effect, bot it is clear that as such educa? tion is only an increase in the power of the individual, so it depends on the direction given to that power whether it shall produce good or evil results upon society. . The necessity of moral instruc? tion in the home and school is apparent, and even that can effect little permanent good unless the means of keeping the boy and young man engaged in honest employment is provided. An idle man is proverbially a dangerous man to soci? ety. And a man who is idle not only because he cannot And work, bot because he does not know how to work, is more dangerous still. i ?? - .... [ Agricultural Education in South Caro? lina. The following address was delivered by iCbl. D. K. Norris, of this County, before the farmers encampment at Spartanburg on last Friday, August 11th: Pbesident: In 1866 Messrs. Clemson, Hayne and Simpson, members of the Pendleton Farmer's Society,, were appointed a committee by that body to solicit funds to build and put into opera I tion a scientific school where the youths of the State might be trained and educa? ted in the industrial paths of life. Such men as. Thomas Pinckney, Jr., Andrew Pickens, J. B. Earle, Josiah D. Gaillard, Bobert Anderson, Patrick Norris, Jno. E: Cothr?n and others in 1815;'Jno. Max? well, B.F. Perry, Warren B^Davis, D. Sloan and others, ia 1816 ; Francis Burt, Kichard Lewis and others in 1817, and David Cherry, Jno. Gaillard, Jas Whit ner, Thos. M. Sloan, D. K. Hamilton and others in 1818, all members of this society and teachers of public opinion in agri? cultural affairs, as well as in shaping and maintaining the political course of the State, were replaced in later times by others, equally noted for. their patrotism and wisdom, among whom I may mention Hayne, Simpson, Seaborn, Clemson, Lewis and a host of others. These gentlemen realized the importance of technical training aa applied to agriculture, and {although we hear no more, for the time, of the effort made in 1866 to inaugurate a school for this purpose, the conviction of its necessity abided with the society, and we live to see one of the them donating a large fortune to accomplish that which had failed before, it seems, because of the impoverished and disorganized con? dition of the State at that time. Other efforts looking to improvement in agriculture were not wanting, such as the founding of the society for* the promotion of agriculture in South Caro? lina in 1875 in Charleston, the organiza? tion of the State Agricultural Society in Columbia in 1818, and the rapid multipli? cation of similar bodies afterwards throughout the State; but, so far as lam informed, this effort made by the-Pen? dleton Agricultural Society was the first in the State which directly undertook to radically better our agriculture by educa? ting and training the boys, the farmers of the future, rather than by shows, fairs and such like, stimulating by rivalries the spasmodic efforts of the then farmers. The wisdom of their efforts is witnessed by the 184 colleges and stations now in successful operation in Germany; by the passage of the great educational bill by the Parliament of Great Britain after the disappointment of that nation in the world's contest at Paris in 1867, whereby science and technology have been assign? ed a larger place in her schools and uni? versities tban ever before, and by .the 57 agricultural colleges and industrial insti? tutes in the United States. This formi? dable array of institutions at which the youth of the various Countries in which they are located are enabled to educate themselves for the profession in life which falls to their lot by choice or necessity attests one truth, and it is this : that the application of science to agriculture is a successful fact. But what has South Carolina done ? Has she recognized the great wisdom of nurturing schools of this kind, and their potency in building ?p her waste places ? A State, prood of her history, glorious in her many achieve? ments and in whose exaltation her every true son delights! Oh I that it were some other rather than one of her sons to teH the tale! I will not recount the half? hearted and disparaging manner in which ? her feeble efforts in this direction were, conceived and have been carried on, but' would rather dwell upon the awakened interest and zeal now manifested in its behalf by all, from the doubting Thomas to the convinced Tillmans on the one hand and designing politicians and the ?toiling masses on the other. The old ! idea of education was, that it had no di? rect bearings on the world's work, and it is not only true that the education of the past did not aim at anything of this sort, bot it ig also true that the end and design of the old education was in the opposite direction. A man was not educated to labor but he was educated not to labor. In all the habits of his life and the pro* cesses of his thought the educated manj was as far as possible removed from i sympathy with what we term industrial j pursuits. The march of progress has well nigh refuted those ideas and to day we are witnessing the advent of an educa? tion which will especially fit the individ? ual who received it for the only probable destiny in life which bis antecedent circumstances admit. It is also in har? mony with the idea that the many should be educated in contradistinction -to the old idea that it was only possible or ne? cessary to educate the few. This new departure, if I may so speak, not in the art, but in the science of agriculture, promises many things. It will enlighten the minae of the tillers of the soil and enable them to comprehend the laws of nature .which govern animal and vegetable phys? iology and at once dignify labor by rais? ing it above drudgery and routine and making it the scientific means of accom? plishing the ends of labor. It will make it possible for its possessor, for himself, and largely for his class, to overcome the social degradation which has ever been the lot of the actual worker, however praised and honored agriculture has been in the abstract. It .will radically correct the defects of the past by planning the education with reference to the probable employment and destiny of the individual who receives it, and not leaving him in . ignorance of the things which, above all others it is most important he should know. It will give to the educated mind a skillful hand and a trained eye, a discriminating judgment and an intelli? gent opinion; will revolutionize the negli? gent and unprofitable farming as now, ! practiced by the vast majority of our' -people, and give to them in its stead a rational plan leading to general improve? ment. Those who receive the benefits of this education will be trained for work, and above all trained in work, which makes the most complete man, physically, mentally and morally. It will conserve manly vigor and increase both the enjoy? ment and length, of life. It will make idleness intolerable, and welcome enter? prise and adventure as a delight. It will promote self respect and self-reliance, and beget a manly independence, j The friends of the Clemson' College would have the literary institutions of j the State liberally supported, and as fruits of their labor give to South Caro j Una other McDufiiies and Hamptons, in whose hands the prestige of the State I was ever as&. But they deserve more. They would see the agriculture of the State lifted to a piano of progress and prosperty which can only be done. by a diffusion of scientific knowledge applied to the industrial arts and which can i emanate only from an institution, where agricultural. education is the primary consideration. An institution in sympa? thy with the life of the masses whose doors, ample as they may be, always crowded with the youths of the State, hungering and thirsting for the knowl? edge therein imparted. And as the* legitimate spheres in life occupied by the attendants of. these different institutions do not clash but that they together will work out for South Carolina, a destiny, surpassing if possible, the glories of the past, so in their mutual regard for each other,-friondliuess and respect should he cherished. When this latter institution shall have had time to imprint itself upon the agriculture of the State we shall hope to present to the world a brilliant example of what educated labor will accomplish in developing an agricultural system abounding in far-reaching enterprise, thrilling interest and abundant success. Thos. G. Clemson! A name which will be revered and honored, more and more as the benefits of agricultural edu? cation are made apparent by the diffusion of such knowledge at Fort Hill, and to whose memory I shall hope to see erected a proud monument of enduring granite at no distant day on that historic spot, by those who will specially be benefited by his munificent bequest, as well as per fetuated in the noble institution which is interest in the welfare of the agricul? turist of the State prompted him to endow. It was he who said, prophetically, eighteen years ago in an address before the Agricultural Meeting Society, of Oconee "that the exigencies of a new era are upon us, demanding the diffusion of the science of the development of our material resources, and that the estab? lishment of such schools could not fail to give us ascendancy and open up the only sure road to wealth and permanent pros? perity." The wisdom of this sentiment is attested by the rapid multiplication of schools of this kind in Europe, where, for instance, in the little kingdom of Wustenburg, so small as scarcely to reveal itself on our school atlases, there are sixteen, colleges and twenty six agricultural associations; as well as by the Congress of the United States which has voted thousands of dollars annually to South Carolina, in common with the other States, for the inauguration, en? couragement, and enlargement of this very work. Finally, the people have spoken, and we are assured that nothing less than an Agricultural College built and conducted on the most useful and. liberal plan will satisfy them, or meet the requirements of this new education. The Condition of the Crops. The report of the State department of agriculture, showing the general condition or the corn, cotton and rice crops on Au? gust 1, is not bo favorable, at first sight, as the report of the same date last year, but appears in a much more encouraging light on examination. The returns received by the department covered the month, of July only, when the effects of a drought which had lasted from three to six weeks in different parts of the State were plainly manifested. Even under these circumstances, however, the estimates of the crop were far from discouraging. Cotton, which had been delayed in its growth by the late spring, was .'advanced by the dry season so that a general improvement was noted for the whole State. Though the crop is still somewhat late, it is reported to be "generally in fine condition and fruiting. well." The reports of .the corn crop vary in character according to the uneven distribution of the rainfall in July, but in the more favored localities the crop is said to be the best in seven years. The condition of rice is below the average for last year at the same time, probably for the same reasons already mentioned. The other field crops appear not to have felt the effects of the drought so much, and promised nearly a full yield when the reports of their condition were made. The most encouraging view ot the situation, however, is presented in the more recent reports of the correspondents of the News and Courier, who have given highly favorable accounts of the condition of the. crops since the 1st' of August. The greater part of the injury inflicted on corn,.rice, &c, was caused by the drought in July, waich ended with July. We have had abundant and general rains during the past two week's, and the effect has been prompt and gratifying. It 1b not to be doubted that the average, for July, as reported by the State department, will be raised materially during the present month'^ and that good crops of every, kind will be harvested.?News and Courier. Would uot-FIsh pa Sunday. Washington, August 6.?One of the gentlemen with the Presidential fishing party recently off Fire Island tells the following incident:. Saturday night came, and in two days we had made an unusu? ally good catch of bluefisb. We sat out on deck coolly clad/ smoking and chat? ting. Nobody had said a word about fishing next day, but nearly everybody/ bad thought about it, and the opinion' had even been expressed that it would be a pity to lose a day, the very day when fish bite best. Suddenly the President leaned back in his chair, knocked th? ashes off his cigar, and said in his delib? erate way of talking: f "Now, gentlemen, what shall we do to morrow? Some of you may want to fish. People do sometimes fish on Sun? day, and i don't want to. be in the way or interfere with your preferences. A don't fish Sunday's myself. I was brought up that way, and never got jin the habit of it. I learned my methods from the old Presbyterian Church ; so if any of you .want to fish to morrow I'll/go ashore in the gig in the morning and join you again Monday, bright and eirly. I don't want to be in the way.'' i Of course all protested that they'had no thought of fishing on Sunday, lever did such a thing, &c, and Sunday was passed in reading, sleeping and conversa? tion.?New York World. \ Pea Meal as a Fertilizer./ Columbia, August 10.?Senator Mc Cal), of Marlboro, replying to anrinquiry from Col. Butler, commissioner/of agri? culture, make? the following interesting statements in regard to aoibe experi? ments be has made with pea meal. ' "I used the pea meal on corn, 200 pounds to the acre. I used cotton seed meal on one plat, Peruvian guano on another, and found the pea meal equal to the cotton seed meal and belter than the ! Peruvian guano. I consider t the meal I from the pea one of the very best and cheapest of fertilizers. Take three bushels of peas, grind them! into meal and you will have enough- fertilizer to j manure an acre of land moderately well, ' at a cost of $2.25. Two hundred pounds of cotton seed meal will cost, say, $25 per ton, freight included, or $2.50 for the two hundred pounds. The acre of land planted in peas, with proper attention, will produce at least six bushels, enough to manure two acres, which can be con? verted into good manure with nothing but a very common mill; that will grind coro or - peas, without -any freight or trouble of exchanging, as is the case with cotton seed. I look upon the pea as the salvation of the farmers financially, as the money spent for fertilizers is one ot t the greatest drains upoa w." / ? ?rr- / ? Col. George L.

Kanses City, Mo., August 8.?By a cyclone near Wellington, Kansas, yester? day morning, whole fields of' corn were torn up by the roots, and stalks stripped and ears husked. Many chickens were found, entirely devoid of feathers, miles from their homes, and other strange things are reported. One girl was hurt, but no one was killed. Half tbe tomb? stones in the cemetery were blown en? tirely away and cannot be found. Birmingham, Ala., August G.?A Gadsdon, Ala., special Bays: Last Satur? day the three little girls of Marco Long, who resides near Sand Mountain, DeKalb county, went into the woods to pick ber? ries. Their long stay caused a search to be made, and the three children were found lying near a large rattlesnake. Two of them were already dead, and the third died soon afterwards, They bad all been bitten in several places by the rattlesnake, and died horrible deaths. Montgomery, Ala., August 6.?Yes? terday morning, a blind horse belonging to Mr. M. Oarlton, who lives in the southern suburbs of the city, fell into a well. Carlton went to the well and was looking down at bis horse, when be lost his balance and tumbled in himself. The horse was not dead and kicked him on the head and body, inflicting very serious wounds. His recovery is doubtful. The well is one hundred feet deep. Tbe man and horse were both pulled out and the horse died. Rome, Ga., August 9.?Several paint? ers were engaged in painting a frame building a mile from town, just beyond East Rome, yesterday afternoon, when a tbnnder shower came np. Lightning struck'a chimney and tbe fluid descended to tbe ground. L. P. A. Walker was instantly killed, James Bagwell and Reuben Molkey were injured, and Robert Ramsey was paralyzed in both legs. Other workmen were stunned, but not injured. Mr. Walker was thirty years old and stood well in tbe community, His mother, who is seventy years old, a widow with no other children, was pros? trated when the terrible intelligence of her son's death reached her. Wilkesbabre. Pa., Aug. 11.-?An at? tempt was made this morning to blow up tbe residence of William Collier, of Pitt ston, while he and his wife were asleep in an upper room. A cbargr- of giant powder was placed in a hole bored in a pitch pine log. The bomb thus prepared was placed on the front porch, leaning against the house and fired with a fuse. The explosion tore away the porch, blew in the front of the house and tore down the fence eighteen feet away. Beyond a severe shock, the occupants of the house were nninjured. The duties of hie posi? tion make Mr. Collier unpopular with tbe miners, and it is believed that some of them thought to get revenge by killing him in this way. Raleigh, N. C, August 10.?Yester? day, near Hickory, Samuel Burkley's dog ran mad and dashed among tbe family, biting as he went. The eldest child of BnrkTey, aged 17, seeing the danger to which her little brothers and sisters were exposed, with great heroism caught and held the dog until the children could get in the-bouse. Casting the dog as far from her as she conld she ran for tbe door, but was overtaken and severely bit? ten on the hip before she got into tbe houBe. She was also bitten on the hand while holding the dog. After thus get? ting away tbe dpg bit two cows and then came back to the house, and when tbe children spoke to it through a window endeavored to gee at them. The heroic young lady ran to a neighbor's, who shot tbe dog. A physician cauterized tbe wounds. Birmingham, Ala.v August 9.?A terrific thunder storm passed over this city this afternoon, doing considerable damage A number of telephone wires were cut, breaking some of tbe large circuits. The residence of Dr.* Brewster, on Fourth avenue, was struck and badly damaged. His daughter, Miss Fanny, and a colored servant were severely shocked, the colored woman being rendered unconscious for several hours. The handsome residence of Dr. A. Godder was struck and badly damaged. At East lake, six miles from the city, tbe elegant residence of Mr. H. M. Horton was torn to pieces and the furniture broken into kindling wood by a bolt of lightning. Fortunately no one (was in the honse at the time. At north 'Birmingham several houses were struck find a mule was killed. There was a teavy rainfall and some hail. Kanses City, Aug. 8?Mre, Lewis Jarytb, of Wichita, Kas,, caused a saloon operated by Jake Clement to be<fpulled" Friday night, claiming that her husband bad spent three weeks there squandering his earnings. She was at the saloon door by sunrise this morning, hatchet in hand. The door was opened and Jake was get? ting his place ready for the day's busi? ness when tbe woman locked tbe door and gave Jake orders to march to a certain corner and await further orders. She is a very large woman and he a very small man and be "marched." Tbe woman then began business in earnest. The first blow with her hatchet broke in pieces a large mirror behind the bar and the second demolished another fancy article of the same Bort. The woman next proceeded to the more laborious work of breaking up everything breaka? ble. When the last was ended she made Jake walk up the street for a block in front of her. She then gave him orders never to sell any more liquor. Tbe damage done )8 estimated at $1,000. Carthage, Tenn., August p.?Two men were killed near Lancaster in a very peculiar and unexpected manner. The, men had made ready a very heavy blast-1 in the face of the high bluff at the mouth of Smith's forks. It was composed'of Suite a number of hole3 about twentyTeet eep, and with nine or ten kegs of pow? der to the hole. Everything had been made ready to touch the blast with elec? tricity by means of a wire connected with the battery. A cloud came Vp in the meantime, and as it was lightning, the men concluded to wait untfl the cloud passed over. A flash of 1 Wntning, how? ever, came running alcWthe wire from the battery, exploded ,/ue blasts with a tremendous noise. The whole side of the bluff was blowrr'oir and it tumbled with a tremendou/ crash down below. At the time the bTast occurre,d two men were seen comiDgr'alorjg down under the bluff They were warned of thejr danger, but too late tjresc?pe. They were vigi? lantly searcjfed for after the explosion, but no trace of them could be found. They oms/have beep buried beneath the mass of stone and dirt. The men bad been at flork on the road. Chattanooga, August 10.?A fire which7broke out at midnight in the GrifjBxhs-Caldwell block destroyed tbe entfre block, besides the buildings of N. Deitzen & Brother, the Baltimore Cloth? ing Honse and She! ton & Howard. The /total loss on the buildings and stocks is $400,000. Tbe loss of lite has been very great. In the excitement of the confla? gratjoD hundreds of citizens rushed into the buildings and endeavored to save their goods. It seems that there was criminal carelessness in erecting the four story structures, because they'collapsed solely from beat. '.One building fell in while fifty persons were inside. At noon to day five dead bodies had already been recovered, and it is feared the Iobb of life is considerably greater. The following remains recovered have been identified : James P. McMillen, Henry Welch, James Smith'(colored); Edward Lowe. Another colored man has been recovered, but tbe remains have not been identified. Two more bodies have been discovered beneath the ruins, but they cannot be reached bofore night, and it is believed Ed. greger is also buried beneath the ruins and six or seven others. The total loss of lifo is estimated at ten and four badly wounded. J, B, McMillan was killed while trying to save his books, He was a prominent citizen. Edward Lowe was trying to save bis goods. He was a leading builder and contractor. Workmen In a gravel bed on the Western Railway *orAlabama recently came upon tbe skeleton or"what they think was an Indian princess. On it were found a silver coronet, sMrer bracelets, a necklace made of Bilver buckle3 lied together with a silk, ribbon ^nrx'a'ppcaUar^nife with a sabre blade.

Horrible Death Resulting from Earth? quakes in China San Francisco, Cal., Auguat 12.? The Steamer City of Sidney, which arriv? ed this evening, from Hong Kong and Yokohama, brings through the Japanese journals the particulars of tbe volcanic eruption of Bandai bank on the fifteenth of July. The details of the catastrophe came in a somewhat despoil? ed form. The Choya Shimbkn dispatch? ed a special reporter to the scene. According to his account the villages surrounding Bandai heard tbe strange rumbling sounds and felt tbe shocks of tbe earthquake from 13th. These phe? nomena continued intermittently for two days and nights, but not being attended by any serious result no great disquiet wa3 felt. On the morning of the 15th, at about 8 o'clock, smaller Bandai San trembled and roared violently. Imme? diately afterwards auhes began to fall, the sky suddenly grew dark and the rumbling sounds continued, accompanied by violent earthquake and flare of daz? zling flame. The crest, ofthe smaller Bandi San appeared to be lifted bodily upwards and then to fall again with a tremendous noise. Then followed show? ers of red mud, mingled with large Btones, spreading havoc around. Such, indeed, was the nature of nearly all the matter erupted; red mud with no small Btones, but accompanied occasionally by heavy rocks.. Above tbe mud fell a few inches of ashes. In the villages of Iwase, Yoaan Wakami Ya, Misato, and Hibara, the greater part of houses were buried to a depth of seven to twenty feet. The state of the bodies recovered is terrible. Some i.re literally cut to pieces, others are par? boiled, so that it is scarcely possible to distinguish between men and women. A few corpses were found suspended in branches of trees which had caught them us they fell. Up to the 17th, the number.'of bodies recovered is 476. It is believed that 61 are still- entombed. The wounded number 41. Eightly-seven houses have been destroyed. The inhabitants of Inawaahiro and adjacent villages fled to Wakamatroa and other places when the eruptions occurred. The report of the local officials of Wakamatroa says inhab? itants of Inawashire and adjacent district escaped with their furniture. The wounded are receiving treatment at tbe scboolbouse in Inawashiro. Their con? dition is shocking. Some have fractured skulls, others broken limbs, and the faces of a few are battered so as to be unre cogizable. There are about a thousand people in need of help.' Seventy-Five Miles an Hour. Until last Monday afternoon the train known as the "Flying Scotchman" running between London and Edinburgh, was the fastest railway service in tbe world. By its schedule time it made tbe distance between these two points, four hundred miles apart, in the wonderful short time of eight hours. Now, however, the rival train upon the London and Northwestern, by a fair race, has beaten it in speed and is justly entitled to the honor of being tbe greatest traveler in Europe or America. The two trains started from the Euston station, London; at exactly 10 o'clock Monday morning. The Northwestern on account of its longer route, was com? pelled to make one hour more' than tbe "Flying Dutchman," and was successful in its attempt. The engine had a single Sair of driving wheels, 7 feet 6 inches in , iameter, and weighed 27 tons. It burned 24 pounds of coal per mile during tbe run. 'The tender, loaded, weighed 27 tons/ Behind it were 4 coaches filled with passengers making a weight of 80 tons in all. The start at first was slow on account o/a steep grade but as the run progressed the speed was increased steadily! Tele? graph poles began to seem like fence posts and the roadsides a medley of objects hard to distinguish. The passengers knew that they were going over sixty miles an hour, but were not prepared for the announce? ment that the speed was seventy-two miles. Mile post after mile post was registered in fifty seconds by the watches, and the fifteen miles from Tring to Bletchly took exactly twelve minutes and thirty seconds. At Crewe five minutes were spent in exchanging the single-wheel driver for a 83-ton engine with" two pairs of driving wheels. With this a speed of from 78 to 75 miles an hour was kept up for some time, and the run of 51 miles to Preston was made in exactly 51 minutes. At Carlisle another change was made to an engine with a single pair of drivers, with which astonishing speed was made. The train reached Edinburgh at 5:52 in the afternoon, eight minutes under the schedule, The entire distance covered was 400 miles, and the actual time, in? cluding stops, was seven hours and twenty-five minutes, an average speed of 53 89 miles per hour, This has never been approached before for so long a run. The fastest continuous record in England hitherto was that of the special train which took the Prince of Wales from Liverpool to London, 300 miles, in three hours and fifty-nine minutes, an average slightly over 57 miles. A Black and Uncalled-for Slander. As a specimen of campaign literature the following editorial from an East Tennessee paper is worth reading: "Tbe enemies' of Captain George Hicks, our most prominent candidate for Sheriff, maliciously assert that he is a Prohibi? tionist. This is the blackest and most uncalled for Blander of thp campaign. We have known the Captain for several ypars, and have positive proof that be is not a Prohibitionist, and in proof of this assertion?which we do npt make without mature deliberation?we submit tbe following facts : "On the night of May 10 ths Captain got so drunk over at Frazier'a Point that he had to be taken home in a wagon. The next day, in the presence of Dome of our most prominent citizens be was Been to drink a cocktail. Four days later he got drunk at Miller's Land? ing and fell into tbe river. This cannot be successfully disputed, for tbe feat was witnessed by the County Judge and a number of our most prominent citizens. Since then the Captain has been a liberal drinker, and we dare any black hearted scoundrel in this County to come forward and attempt a refutation of these facts. We do not object to open and manly opposition but we despise tbe sneaking and underhanded way employed by certain disreputable politicians of this community." ? The toughest story on a mule comes from Wilkesbarre, Pa. Joseph Richard", fourteen years old, was driving a mule in tbe Murray shaft when a train of five loaded cars ran away and struck tbe boy with such force that his bead was driven entirely into the mule's abdomen. His shoulder was broken and he was other? wise injured. When the horrified miners discovered tbe boy's terrible condition they endeavored to extricate him, and found the united strength of two men necessary. The boy's head penetrated the stomach of the mule. The boy was taken home for dead, but revived some? what, though his skull is fractured and he will probably die. Tbe mule died almost immediately after tbe accident. ? Prof. Lawson E. Brown reports quite a phenomenon on bis plantation in Burke County, Qa., He has a well there 100 feet deep, with about 40 feet of water in it. About three months ago the water began-to boil up with a roar distinctly heard at some distance. The disturbance continued for weeks, then ceased for a short time, and began again with equal vigor. The tenant on the place has recently cleaned out tbe well to tbe bot? tom, discovering no cau-e to produce tbe phenomenon. ? The Mail an Express says there were 2,000 women at a recent Monmouth Park, N. J., race. Some of them travelled fifty miles in order to wager money on the horses. A few years ago it was a rare thing for a woman to bet on a horse race, but now the matter has goue so far that one racing association has provided a special place where women may wager money without restriction. ? Here is the latent divorce puzzle in New York. The- case is this; A husband who had been divorced from his wife married her again, and now wants a second divorce. Tne wife was barred under the statue from re-marrying. But did the statute mean that she could not re marry her former husband ? Does the husband need a second divorce ? If his second marriage was invalid he is free. ? The Chicago Times recently sent a female reporter over the city to find out how much the working girls were paid, and how they were treated. Tbe disclo? sures made are shocking in the extreme. The average slave on a Southern planta? tion before the war was infinitely better off than the working girls of Chicago are to day. ? The fastest trains in this country are two flyers on the Baltimore and Ohio Road that are echeduled to run the 40 miles between Baltimore and Washing? ton in 45 minutes. Tbe slowest train is a North Carolina "express," which con? sumes nine hourd in running 100 miles. ? The State authorities of Florida have ordered that the entire village of Plant City, in that State, be burned to- the ground, including all buildings, furniture, bedding, &c, in order to stamp out so called yellow or malarial fever there. ? PerhapB the oldest railroad engineer in the country in length of service is Benjamin Hafner, who has been employ? ed by the Erie road for forty seven years. In all that time no train in fris charge has met with a serious accident. ? A Chicago dead-beat is said to be making a handsome living now by advertising fur a wife and requiring all applicants to inclose stamp for reply. His mail has to be sent up in a wheelbarrow. ? Cuthbert, Ga., has a regular Jew farmer, something unusual to find. Jews rarely ever engage in auything but mer? chandising in tbe yoked States. ? A boy, while in bathing near Georgetown, S. C, recently, was devour? ed by an alligator. This is an uncommon occurrence in this State. A RELIABLE REMEDY.
