The old saw; "Curses, like chickens, pcome home to roost," is for the American public most painfully illustrated in the ^caseofourlard products. First, -Great Britain took alarm, and passed a very id inspection of all lard products ?rted into the uni Led kingdom. ^France followed suit. Next came Canada, id quickly treading in the wake of the met authorities the government of ? our Southern neighbor, Mexico, took up : the cry against American lard' adultera? tion in the form of an extremely atring geiit enatttmont. Finally, it is now an ?j?n?unced that the German :government ' will prohibit all imports of lard not ^absolutely pure. ' The following Bketch is called "The Portrait of a True Gentleman.'1 It was found in an old manor house in Glouces? tershire, written and framed, and hung on the mantelpiece of a tapistried Bitting ""room: "The true gentleman is God's servant, tho world's master and his own man. Virtue is his business, Study hiB recreation, Contentment his rest and Happiness his reward. God is his Fa? ther, Jesus Christ is his Saviour, the Saints his brethren, and all that need him his friends! Devotion is his champion, . " Charity his chamberlain, Sobriety his butler, Temperance his cook, Hospitality his housekeeper. Providence his steward, Charity his treasurer, Piety his mistress of the house and Discretion his porter to .let in or out as most fit." The Railway Age presents a table show? ing that 666 new lines, with an aggregate " contemplated mileage of53,436miles,bave been projected since January 1 last; that on these lines 14,818 miles are under construction or contract, 9,617 are sur? veyed, and 29,001 are incorporated or projected. The article continues: "The fact that in the first three months of the year new lines representing over 53,000 miles have been brought to public notice, and that their construction is urged and .' to a large extent probable, is impressive 'evidence of the enormous field for rail? road enterprises which the United States still affords. The mileage proposed in these three mouths is equivalent to al? most one-third of the entire railway mile? age of the county now in operation, and yet the projection and inauguration of I other lines is still going on at an equally rapid rate, and the prospects is that the toads projected and in various stages of ^development during 1889 will exceed in ^aggregate mileage our entire pr?3ent completed system." IaQOAIa NEWS. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Recollections of the "Fork" Country?Five Revolutionary Soldiers. Editobs Intelligencer : The earliest recollections of the Fork country, by the writer, was in 1835. Among the first of its residents attracting his attention were the Revolutionary Soldiers. adam looney was the subject of early inquiry, because of his wooden leg- The natural one, thus supplied, was honorably lost in battle. He died about the year 1843. That wooden leg created a dreadful impression of the horrors of war. john day, another Revolutionary Patriot, lived with his son, Reuben Day, near Town ville, on the place now owned by Wm. S. Woolbright. He died about the year 1841, and was buried about one mile Northwest of Townville, in an old pine field then owned by Charles Hunt. It was a country burying ground in Oconee County, then Pickens District. One of your coi respondents some years ago stated that William Day was a Revolu? tionary Soldier. This was a mistake. db. john habbis lived on Seneca River, three miles east of Townville. He bad one peculiar eye, the result of a gun Bhot wound honorably re? ceived in battle. He was an eminent physician, and .married a daughter of General Pickens, of Revolutionary fame. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention, which framed the Constitu? tion of this State, adopted June 3, 1790. Dr. Harris was a Ipng time Ordinary of Pendleton District, and also of Anderson after the division. He was popular, and loved by all children. He died in April, 1845. WILLIAil GRANT lived on Conneross Creek, on the line of Anderson ?ind Pickens. He was an offi? cer, perhaps Lieutenant, and served under General Pickens. He was of austere dis? position, olfBtrong prejudices, and doubt? less a terror to the Tories. He died in 1851, and was buried on the line of An? derson and Pickens Districts, on tho old homestead. A large gathering was had at his grave shortly afterwards, and the late Gov. J. L. Orr and Gen. Wm. K. Easley delivered eulogies on the life and eminent services of the old soldier. john burns removed from Laurena to this section in 1835. His place adjoined Dr. Harris, and was near Mr. Grant's. He was quite deaf, and difficult to convorse with, and died about the year 1844. He-took great inter? est in religious matters, and by reason of deafness always occupied a prominent position with the preacher. These old patriots all lived beyond their four score years, and retained a strong hatred to the Tories in their old age. They, were much re spec tod by all classes of peo? ple, and the memory ?f their names well deserve to be perpetuated. B. Notes From Townviile. ? ? There is much sickness among the chil? dren around here just now. J. P. Todd, an industrious young black? smith, has sold his house and lot here and removed with his family to Anderson, S. C. Justice Fant united Elias Brown and Nancy Gilbert in matrimonial bonds last week. The Townville Alliance is steadily in? creasing in membership. W. F. if. Fant, Esq., is President, and H. J. Tribble, Sec? retary. Friendship Church, of the Townville Circuit, Rev. T. P. Phillips pastor, is to be dedicated early in June by Rev. A. Coke Smith, D. D., of Wofford College, Spartanburg. Eev. T. C. Ligon and J. L. McCarley represented the Church here in Presbytery at Edgefield last week. * Belton Items. The balmy breezes and swiftly flying clouds of Saturday morning brought not the promised April showers that gardens and early field crops were beginning to need. Rain came, but laden with a chill for each plant. Sunday morning it was' difficult to decide whether we were more surprised than disappointed. Expecting no such sudden change, and intending to put ourselves into our handsome fresh Spring suits, and with new straw bats, to cover clipped heads, we were poorly prepared to believe the truth that we must again put on onr dingy old suits, rekindle the win? ter's fire and keep it blazing during the day. To-day, Monday, the farmer that intended io place himself abreast of his neighbor in cotton planting, grumbles that he didn't risk the dry soil and put his seed in the ground, while his neighbor com? plains of seed thrown away and labor lost. The usually encouraging wife adds her complaint of disorder in the house, unpro? tected flowers and vegetables, and chilled and dying young chicks. Nobody ever saw such a time, Bay the grunting old as well as the disappointed young. Yet there are persons that remember the snow fall of 1849, on April 15th, and the freeze the next day. An elderly lady, formerly a resident of Edgefield County, says that everybody was wearing Spring clothing, vegetation much advanced, corn being several inches high, cotton chopped to a stand on many farms, green peas bloom? ing, and other garden vegetables growing beautifully. Prom early in March the weather had been delightful to the after? noon of April 14th, when there was a sud dt_ and rapid falling in temperature, and on the following day, Sunday 15th, snow covered the ground for several hours. On the morning of the 16th the frost rivaled, in appearance, the preceding day's snow, and the icicles and glassy earth strangely con? trasted with blooming Spring flowers and headed wheat and barley. Two days later the entire vegetable world was a brown crisp ruin. We do not expect a full repe? tition, nor would we sustain so heavy loss now; but to-day and to-morrow may bring the severest of the storm. Two car loads of Texas ponies were shut up, uncovered, in the Railroad stock lot Sunday. How they seemed to suffer from the cold rain. Had been nine days on road from San Antonio, Texas, to Colum? bia. Their owner gave every attention they required, save shelter. The three month's colts and the old gray of thirty years ought to have been better provided for. A. J. Stringer could have saved the owner twen? ty per cent in the looks of the animals, and would have said little about his charges if only a chance word of praise - were given his new stables. When this stormy weather is over we will tell about the paint and whitewash that will be spread over Belton. The fences and houses that will get a coat, and of others that very much need repairing and whitening over. Mrs. Hattie Kay's new fence will receive due attention in that particular. Gassaway, principal of the colored school here, has a neat two story eight room dwelling and boarding house for his school in p::ocess of erection chat will be an improvement to his portion of the town when completed. Gassaway is doing good work in the school room for his peo? ple, too. An accidental fire destroyed the engine house of the railroad water-works Friday. Necessary repairs on the engine will be made and house rebuilt, it is thought, by Wednesday. . ? Repairing on cotton planters continues at Tollison's and Hanks, shop, nothwith standing the scores already carried away. Both men are energetic workers, and well deserved the liberal patronage they have. Mr. E. H. Talbert, of Edgefield, and his brother, Sergt. T. G. Talbert, of Patrick Military Institute, have been visiting in town. These handsome young men have good taste, and came to the right place to display it. Their success, the future will unfold. Now and then such visits are productive of extra work for preachors and newspapers. Kappa. Honen Path Items. The Church at Barker's Creek have pur? chased an elegant organ through Prof. A. J. Showallter, of Dalton, Ga. They make the best music at Barker's of any country Church in my knowledge. Mr. T. L. ClinkBcales is the leader, and he would command a good salary in some of our city Churches. He is ably assisted by Mr. R. B. Kay, and Misses Alfie Wright and Rosa Tribble. Last Sunday was a very wet day here, but notwithstanding a very good congregation assembled in the Baptist Church to listen to a sermou by the pa3tor on the "SinofCovetousness." He showed how tho preacher would pander to the tastes of the people, because he loved money so well he sometimes failed to do his duty for fear he would lose his posi? tion ; how the school teacher would fall to do known duty in order to get patronage; the farmer in buying his ?supplies, and then never paying for them ; the merchant in charging extortionate prices for goods, in giving light weight and short measuret and selling goods on Sunday, and then by sanding the sugar, and rocking the coffee. the man who trade3 horses, and tells all the good qualities of his horse, and never mentions his bad traits; that a statement made for a lie, with a little truth in it, is the worst kind of a lie; how a barkeeper will sell his own soul for money; how a druggist will violate the law, starve women and children, and send men's soul to bell for the sake of little money. Would that men could hear the voice of Rye itself: "the voice of bye." I was made to be eaten, And not to be drank ; To be threshed in a barn, Not soaked in a tank. I come as a blessing When put through a mill, As a blight and a curse When run through a still. ? Make me up into loaves, And your children are fed ; But into a drink I'll starve them instead. In bread I'm a servnnt The eater shall rule; In drink I'm a master, The drinker a fool. Then heed my warning, My strength I'll employ; If eaten I'll strengthen, If drank I'll destroy." Honea Path is a real good place, but I reckon it must be sickly, for I hear some of the citizens Bay that.it takes an immense amount of whiskey to do the people? all for medicine. Last Saturday afternoon, while a cloud was passing over, lightning struck the barn on the promises of Kev. D. W. Hiott, tearing up the building considerably. Two pigs near by were killed. Some chickens under the house were killed. A buggy in the hallway was very much dam? aged. The building was set on fire, but timely assistance soon put it out. Mr. Hiott had only a few moments before sent bis horse up town for some purpose. If he had been in the stall, be would, in all probability, been killed. A cow and calf in the lot were unharmed. Last Saturday the Baptist Church receiv? ed by letter seven valuable additions to the membership. There are three bran new buggiosjn town, all bought from Mr. J. S. Fowler, of An? derson. Two of them owned by bachelors, a very encouraging sign they don't mean to be ahne in the world. One of the bache? lors, after getting his buggy in Anderson, thought the best way back was by Belton. I suppose he wanted one of his best girls to try his new baggy. That looks like business. Mr. A. W. Humphreys, the photograph? er, has done a fine business here for several weeks, and has given general satisfaction. He goes from here to Princeton, so the people on the other side of the Saluda can get their pictures taken. Dr. R. P. Divver of Anderson was in town last week. We are always glad to meet the Dr. Messenger. Resolutions ot Thanks. At a regular meeting of Orr Lodge, No. 5, A. 0. TJ. W., held April 10, 1889, thB following resolutions were adopted: Reiolved, That the thanks of Orr Lodge, No. 5, A. O. TJ. W., are due and are hereby tendered to the ladies of Anderson and vicinity for their liberal and appro? priate contributions to our first anniver? sary supper on the 26th of March, 1889. Resolved, That we especially thank the Auxiliary Committee of ladies..who, by their untiring and unselfish - efforts, made the entertainment for ourself and guests one of the roost pleasant occasions of the kind ever held in Anderson. Resolved, That these resolutions be pub? lished ia the Anderson Intelligencer and Journal, A true copy from the minutes. J. B. Lewis, Recorder. Escaping Epidemic Prevalent Among the Convicts on the Canal. It would really seem that there are other things besides disease and crime that are likely, under certain circumstan? ces, to become epidemic, and that at? tempts to escapes among convicts are included in the possibility suggested. 'On Wednesday a convict named Wes? ley Kester, from Greenville County, em? ployed on the canal, while being whipped snatched away the strap, and running to the river jumped in. He was fired on, a bullet passed through his groin, and he now lies at the point of death in the pen? itentiary. Thursday forenoon another convict, William Nettles, employed in Rice & Coleman's gang, near the quarry on the Columbia & Greenville Railroad, made a break for liberty and was shot by the guard and captured, not being Beriously injured, however. Yesterday, keeping up the record of one a day, Jasper Partlow, who arrived at the penitentiary only last Saturday, was drowned in the river, while attempt? ing to escape. Partlow was convicted at the recent term of court at Yorkville of the larceny of live stock and sentenced by Judge Fraser to five years in the penitentiary. This was his second term, as he was in the penitentiary in 1878, escaped there? from and was at large some eight years before he was recaptured, but was later pardoned by Qov. Richardson. There is something extraordinary about the recklessness of Partlow's attempt to escape,, if such an attempt it was. Without any apparent cause or provoca? tion, he of a Budden dropped the wheel? barrow he was trundling, and, heavily shackled as he was; made straight for the river, which, was but a few yards distant, and jumped in. Six shots were fired, but none struck him. The body was recover? ed by dragging several hours later, and was found about thirty-five feet from the shore. Coroner Roach was notified and an inquest was held. The jury rendered a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death by drowning while, at? tempting to escape from the penitentiary guards.? Columbia Eegiater. ? Texas is a lively State. Even some of the ministers practice the Christianity of the cowboys and Comanches. A special dated Navasota, Texa3, 8th April, gives this account, which is really some? what startling: Rev. J. M. Lawson killed a negro Sunday, named Louis HcLeod, who had stolen several articles frpm him. At Yarbrough Station, Rev. Hall Miller was conducting a Sunday school the same day, and whiln praying, a man named Purchard, intoxicated, entered the school and disturbed the meeting. Eev. Mr. Miller left for home and returned with his gun and put the contents of buck and turkey shot into the left side of Pnrch ard's head. The dead man was possessed of great bodily strength, was very brutal ana aggressive in his manner." CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Savannah, Ga., April 11.?Prince Law, a negro living on Springfield plan? tation, killed his four-year-old child this afternoon as a sacrifice to the devil. Law is locked up. He admitted the killing and says he was ordered to do it by Heaven to appease Satan. Law is a religious fanatic. Atlanta, Ga. , April 11.?The house of W. P. Ward, a house carpenter aud millwright, living in Rabun county, was burned to the ground last night. Th6 entire family, consisting of his wife and five small children, perished in the flames. The house was a small one, with the chimney in one end, and escape was bar? red for this reason. St. Cloud, Minn., April 11.?Sebas? tian Merdam, a German farmer was engaged in plowing yesterday. Four of bis children, playing in the field and following the furrows, found the roots of wild parsnips, and all ate of them and became violently sick. Three of them died in terrible agony. Another, a girl, is stili living and may recover. The three children were buried in one grave this morning at St. Joseph. Sharon, Pa., April 9.?Masked burg? lars broke into the residence of Lewis Patterson, a wealthy resident of Centre ville, this morning, and demanded a large sum of money which they BuppoBed was concealed on the premises. Hanging failed to make the old man reveal his secret, so the ruffians thrust his feet into a hot stove, burning them so terribly that amputation may be necessary. After ransacking the house they left with a gold watch and less than $50 in cash. Parties are out searching for the gang to-day, and if caught they will be lynch? ed. Batesburg, 8. C, April 9.?Last night at Leesville, a town two miles north of this place, the marshal arrested a drunken Irishman and put him in the guard house for safe keeping. Daring the night the guard house was consumed by fire and the poor unfortunate was roasted alive. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but it is thought that when the man awoke and found himself confined he attempted to burn his way out. He i3 said to have been a sewing machine repairer, and his name is supposed to be John Doyle. The verdict of the coro? ner's jury was in accordance with the above facts. Kershaw, S. C, April 14.?A difficul? ty occurred here this evening, in which Thos. McCraven lost his life, and Benj. Hilton, the town marshal, was badly wounded. McCraven and a man named Harrison were drunk and boisterous on the street, and when remonstrated with by Hilton commenced firing at him. The officer was shot in the neck three times. McCraven was shot six times and died about an hour after the shooting. Hilton's wounds at this time are not considered dangerous unless some unfa? vorable symptoms set in. Harrison had his arm broken by a pistol ball, and is in the lockup awaiting the arrival of the sheriff. Atlanta, Ga., April 13.?A charge of dynamite was prematurely exploded through the carelessness of workmen this afternoon at the Tom Alexander quarry, just outside the city. A hole had been drilled and the dynamite charge inserted just before dinner. Immediately after dinner another group of workmen, not . knowing that the charge was there, gaug? ed the depth and concluded to drill deep er. At the first pressure of the drill upon the cartridge the dynamite exploded. John Holder, Green Patterson and Pat Houston, all negroes, were seriously in? jured. Houston cannot recover. Several other workmen were slightly injured by bits of shattered rock. Belleville, III., April 15.?A re? markable freight wreck occurred on the Cairo short line two miles from Belle? ville, yesterday morning. A freight train was running toward Belleville. The track was clear ahead when suddenly, without any warning, the road began to sink and the engineer and fireman jumped for their lives and both escaped with a few bruises. The engine and train went down ten feet and a terrific wreck occurred. Cars, en? gine and freight were smashed and de? stroyed in the earth. As.soouasthe frightened trainmen could recover their wits they learned that tho train was over Marsh's coal mine and that the mine had caved in. The track for a distance of one hundred feet had sunk from eight to ten feet. Two brakemen went down with the wreck and were seriously hurt, St. Louis, April 13.?Early this morn? ing when the janitor of the St. Louis Grain Elevator office, southwest corner of Biddie Street and the levee, went into the office to clean up he found John Jackson, President of the Elevator Com ny, hanging to one of the high posts of the center railing dead, and the body cold. Mr. Jackson had evidently stood upon a chair while adjusting the rope and then kicked the chair away. Several letters were found on Jackson's desk, one addressed to his son and others to business friends. At this writing their contents are not known. Jackson was one of the best known business men of the city, with large interests, and the news of his suicide caused a great sensation on the exchange. He is said to have been heavily interested in May wheat and it is reported on 'change that bis grain transactions probably had something to do with his selfde?truction, but of this nothing definite has yet trans? pired. Manson, Iowa, April 9.?Robt Schi deler and wife were driving to town yes? terday when a spark from Schideler's pipe ignited the clothing of hiB wife, and as the wind was blowing a stiff gale she was enveloped in flames in an instant. Terror-stricken she jnmped from the buggy on one side and her husband on the other. He did all in his power to quench the flames but to no avail. The grass took fire around them, and Mrs. Schideler was completely enveloped in a fiery shroud and died before her hus? band's eyes. Schideler's bands were burn? ed to the bone. He was brought to town and his wounds dressed, but it is feared his bands will have to be amputated, He is nearly crazy from the shock of his wife's death and hiB own pain, and his physicians Bay he may die. The family is one of the oldest in the county, having been here for thirty years. Mrs. Schideler was 65 years old and her husband 70. Allegan, Mich., April 11.?A man named Hurlburt, an employee at the paper mill, was taken from his house Monday night by half a dozen women and thrashed unmercifully with hickory switchea, Hurlburt, it is alleged, was in the habit of beating his wife upon the slightest provocation. He had living with bim a young woman from Kalama zoo, and the action of the two, so it is claimed, caused muctr scandal. A dele? gation of angry women, who wore no disguise, headed by a man wearing a mask, marched into Hurlburt's house Monday evening. The man grabbed Hurlburt and in a twinkling he was out doors and the women were belaboring him. The culprit begged and prayed for release, but not until the women were tired out was he allowed to go. The woman was then informed that unless she left tho town she would receive simi? lar treatment and she left. Pine Straw Versus Jute. Wilmington, April 2.?Negotiations have just been concluded between the Acme Manufacturing Company, of this city, and outside capitalists for the im? mediate erection throughout the pine re? gion of the South of factories for manu? facturing pine straw bagging for cottou, and the projectors claim these factories will not be run in the interest of any trust, but on business principles for legit? imate profits. It is believed by thote who fairly tested pine straw bagging last season that it will prove a formidable rival of jute bagging. ? A gentleman down in Worth has trained a largo cat to hunt squirrels, and it is said that he can tree more squirrels in a day than tho best dog. Wheu tbe squirrel hides from the hunter Tom is sent up in the tree to find it. He rarely ever fails to run him around so that his master can shoot it. When going on a long expedition the cat will climb up on his master's shoulder, or rug along at bis heels like dog,?Am.ricits, Ga.} Repub? lican. The Madstone a Faith Cure Remedy. The New York Sun recently interview? ed Dr: Hamilton and Dr. Spitzaka, two eminent medical experts, on the curative powers of the madstone. | The doctors agreed with the great ma? jority of their profession that there is no more virtue in the madstone than there , is in a sponge or any other porous sub? stance. It is admitted that there is no older and stronger superstition tban the popular belief in the madstone. In the earliest ages in China, India and Rome people believed in it. In almost every commu? nity may be found a madstone credited with having performed wonderful cures, vouched for by persons of unimpeachable veracity. Still the doctors shake their beads. Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Spitska say that few physicians will claim to have seen a genuiue case of hydrophobia in man, and Dr. Spitzka boldly asserts that real ra? bies, transmissible from dog to man by a bite of the dog only, has not yet been demonstrated. In most cases it is purely an imaginary disease, and in others blood poisoning or lock jaw will furnish the explanation. But people Buffer and die, and they are believed to have been the victims of mad dogs. The explanation given by the phy cians is that they die from fright. The fear of hydrophobia may produce nervous maladies, and the imagination is capable of creating what seems to be a genuine case of rabies. The disease being imagi? nary, of course an imaginary cure will do as well as any other, and the patient who has firm faith in a madstone will get well. The true remedial agent, says the Sun, in its comments upon the testimony of the doctors, is not the stone. It is the faith alone. The wonder-working power of the human imagination will do almost any? thing, Free and Full Pardon for the Pickens Lynchers. Columbia, S. C, April 15.?The Gov? ernor to-day granted a full and free par? don to William C. Williams and Harrison Heyward, the two colored men convicted of participation in the lynching of Manse Waldrop at Pickens and sentenced to be hanged therefor. Some fifty petitions for their pardon were filed signed by many vshite persons and in addition the Governor received many letters from prominent citizens of various parts of the State, urg? ing clemency. The chief groundo for pardon are announced to be that the par? ties are ignorant negroes; that this is the first case of conviction for the crime of lynching and white men have committed same offense in the past without punish? ment. But for these facts the Governor would not have been so lenient. The Governor has also commuted to life im? prisonment the death sentences in two cases as follows: Thos. Wright, convicted of murder at the June term of Court for Charleston County and sentenced to be hanged on April 20th ; Ned Cross, con? victed of the murder of E. Holdenburg at the March term last for Charleston County and sentenced to be hanged on Friday next.?Special to Greenville News. Practical Religion. There is a religious revival at Calhoun, Ky., and Sheriff White of McLean County hiis been among the converts. He is a convert of the right kind, for as soon as he got religion he began to put it into practical shape. He confessed that he had stolen a thousand dollars from the County treasury thirteen years ago, and after telling of the crime he had perpetra? ted and so long concealed, he proceeded to show bis repentance. He also thought that something else tban repentance was necessary. He did not rest satisfied with bewailing his guilt, or shedding tears over it, or asking Divine pardon for it, or warning the brethren against following his example, or promising that he would never again do wrong. The Sheriff of McLean County took another way of showing the genuineness of his repentance and conversion. He restored to the treasury of the County the thousand dol? lars of which he had defrauded it in 1879. That was the thing for him to do. That looks like practical religion, in accordance with the Scriptures. The case is worthy of consideration by any convert who has ever been guilty of a deed like his without pursuing the course that he adopted after repentance.?New, York Sun. Married, or not Married. A remarkable case is on docket in our Court, It is a Buit for maintainance, brought by Mrs. Black, formerly Mrs, Daves, of this city, against her alleged husband. About Christmas, it seems that Mr. Black, a reputable man from Union came here and stopped at Mrs. Daves' boarding hoose on Church street. He had known Miss Daves in Union be? fore they moved here. While here he proposed matrimony to Mrs. Daves, and they went to Mr. Derieux and were duly married. After a few days Mr. Black re? turned to Union and refused to live with his bride. He Bays he is not married to her, and if he was be was so drunk that he did not know what he was doing. Mr. Derieux says that if he was at all intoxi? cated he did not discover it. In the mean time the girl, against whom no word of Blander is spoken, is in an em? barrassing position. "Married, or not married," that is the question. If sbo is married and can't marry anyone else, she thinks that her husband should contribute to her support, as other husbands do.? Spartanburg Spartan. Made Rich by Molasses. Maria Bivina, a well known colored woman residing near this town, is dead. She was fifty six years old, and for more than thirty years she has been engaged in making and selling molasses cakes from which she accumulated a comforta? ble little fortune. Both she and her hus? band were born in slavery as were sever? al of their children. She had accumula? ted enough money before the war to purchase the liberty of herself and hus? band, and during the war she made enough money out of the federal soldiers quartered here to purchase her children. After the war she bought a farm near this town, on which she employed her hus? band, paying him seventy five cents a day during the spring and summer months, ana fifty cents during the winter She used two barrels of flour every month in the manufacture of cakes, always making 3,600 cakes out of each barrel. During the long period she was engaged in this business, it was estimated that she had made nearly 4,000,GOO of cakes. She was an honest, industrious woman, and eojoy ed the respect of all who knew her.? Onacock, Va., Special. Monopoly. The eloquent Patrick Henry said, "we can only judge the future by the past." Look at the past? When Egypt went down, three per centof her population owned ninety seven ! per cent of the wealth. The people were starved to death. When Babylon went down, two per cent of the population owned all the wealth. The people wert starved to death. When Persia went down, one per cent of the population owned the land. When Rome went down, 1,800 men owned all the known world. For the past twenty years the United States has rapidly followed in the steps of these pld nations. Here are the figures : In 1850, capitalists owned thirty-seven and a half per cent of the nation's wealth. In 1870, they owned sixty-three per cent.?Boston Progress. Mr. S. E. Helton, of near Curtis, tells us of a novel way he bag of catching rats. He fills a wash tub two-thirds full of water, covers the water with cotton seed ana sprinkles a handful of meal on the seed. The rat comes, jump3 into the pot and is drowned before it can get out. Mr. Helton says he has caught at least 75 in the past ten days, having got fifteen in one night. Rats are a great pest and all farmers should try this method of catch iDg them.?Carrallon, Gat) Times. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writing on April 11, says: "A remarkable financial achieve? ment is the placing by the City of New York of upwards of ?7,000,000 new bonds, issued to pay for the new park lands in the annexed district. Not over 9,000,000 of these bonds will be issued, and to-day bids were opened by the comptroller for $7,457,000 worth, at prices ranging from par to 101*. What makes this achieve? ment so remarkable is the low rate of interest that the bonds bear. They will \>ay the investors at par only 2} per cent per year, which is sai J to be less than the interest on any other Government bonds issued anywhere in the world. It is cer tainly less than the interest of any other bonds issued in this country. That all but a million and a half of the - total pos pible to issue should be subscribed for at par and over speaks volumes, not only for the high credit of the city, but also for the cheapness of money. That capi? talists should be willing to make an investment that gives a return of only 2J per cent a year, shows that there is plenty of capital seeking safe investment, and willing to accept the most moderate rates, provided only that the security be of the best. It is not very many years ago when , 6 and 7 per cent had to be offered in order to tempt investors. When the Federal Government placr its bonds at 4 per cent it was regarded as a notable piece of financiering. Each year, however, has been accompanied with a gradual reduc? tion in the rate of interest, and to day New York is able to float a big loan at a lower rate than even the United States is paying."_ ? ? The Atlanta Constitution has opened a subscription with the view of raising ?50,000 to found a home for the needy and disabled Confederate soldiers of that State. About $10,000 was subscribed within twenty-four hours after opening of the subscription lists, of which Mr. George T. G. White, of New York, con? tributed ?1,000. It is expected to secure the desired $50,000 within ten days, after which it is proposed to build a model home with, perhaps, three thousand acres of land, with an allowance of ten btcs and a cottage for every dependent Con? federate. The Constitution takes the ground that the efforts now being made in the North to secure funds to build a Confederate home should be abaudoned, and that each State should at once inau? gurate measures for caring for iits disabled and needy Confederate veterans. Gov. Gordon has endorsed the movement in an earnest appeal to his old soldiers to do all in their power for the relief of their destitute fellow soldiers. Generous responses are coming in every day. ? The Eose Fenwick is a callapsible or crush bonnet. It was invented by Miss Eose Fenwick, the daughter of an admiral, and is now taken op by the Paris milliners. Play-goers who frequent the pit will have reason to bless the inventor, if it prove to be the coming bonnet. It shut" up like a crush bat, and when in its collapsed Btate looks like a fan or fansbaped reticule. It can be made to serve as such, hooked on to a girdle. When open it is like any other bonnet of the "Fanchon" form, but pret? tier. One of virtues is that it does not require a big bandbox. Indeed, one might thrust it into a glove box. ?

The four-months old infant of Mrs. Nettie Roach, who lives in the black? jacks, was burned to death last Saturday. Its mother left it wrapped up in a rocking chair in front of the fire and went off a short distance to a neighbor's to get some milk, and when she returned she found the clothing afire and the baby badly burned, from which it soon died,?Rock Hill Herald. SIE INGE THING IN ANDERSON, A Monagerlo on South Main Stroe:. No one in Anderson had ever dreamed of a menagerie in so small a town?not even the most hopeful citizens. So when such strange looking animahi as we are going to tell of were Been on South Main Street, in front of Broyles building, old citizens were seen to stop their work and walk round, at a respectful distance, with eyes dilated in amazement. Mer? chants, who had not left their place of business for years?except at night and for their meals?stopped business, closed doors, and let their clerks off that they might go down to see those strange ani? mals. Old women, who have not been down town for years, were seen to exam? ine most critically those curious beasts, birds or fish, whichever they were. The whole town of little boys turned out en masse, and stood so thick about the cage that the sweet little girls could hardly get a glimpse at the curiosities. Occa? sionally some very gallant lad, with beautifully combed hair and flashing eyes, would make room for his best girl. Then some mischievous chap would pinch the monster's tail, and such flutter? ing of bonnet strings, ribbons and chick? en feathers, amid the horrid screams of the dear maidens. The fashionable young ladies of the tqwn were out, es? corted by their beaux- Colored people, by hundreds, crowded and scrambled around the cage to see the Bights. The whole street was a mass of crowded hu? manity, when lo I What may it be ? The crow of a cock, the roar of a lion, the squeal of a pig, the twitter of a spar? row, the croak of a frog, and the growl of a tiger?all commingled in one roaring Sam Small's Latest Sensation. There was an exciting episode in the old Brownstone Church. Pittsburg, on Wednesday evening. The Rev. Sam Small was lecturing on prohibition. Ja? cob Killen, a wealthy wine dealer, occu? pied a front pew, and when Small began in his usual vigorous manner to assail the saloon-keepers as "law breakers" Mr. Killen arose and objected. Then came a voice from the rear of the church : "Give it to him. He's one of thorn." Killen arose facing the audience and cried in response: "Liar; you're a liar.' Then there were cries of "Put him out," but Small objected, and stated that he was accustomed to such people. The excite? ment subsided, but soon Mr. Killen was on his feet again and asked Mr. Small if prohibition became a law whether manu? facturers were to have their property practically confiscated without compensa? tion. Small answered that a United States Court had decided that prohibition was constitutional and did not carry com? pensation with it. Killen then attempt? ed to argue it with Small, shaking his fist under the latter's nose. An attempt was then made to put Killen out. The audi? ence cheered, and then Killen refused to go unless he was forced. One old tem? perance lady became so excited that she rushed up to Killen and struck him in the face with her fist. Small stopped speaking while the confusion reigned. Order was finally restored and he contin? ued his lecture. The audience passed resolutions requesting Judge White to re fnse Killen a renewal of his license. ? A short man is said to be quicker on trigger than a tall man, and a man with a short name is said to come out best in a duel. Colonel Cash, the South Carolina duelist, used to say that in every regular duel fought in the United States tbe man with the fewest syllables in bis surname alwayB killed his antflgonr-'. He mentioned the cases of Buir nun Hamilton, Barron and Decatur, and others, and said that it had been true ever since David killed Goliah. A few months later Colonel Cash added to tbe record by killing Shannon in a duel. ?- A discussion as to the height of trees in the forests of Victoria, New South Wales, has elided from Baron Von Muel lor, tbe Government botanist, the state? ment that he saw one 525 feet high. ? The following notice was tacked up on a tree in Mississippi: "I hereby de? nounce the man who stole my hoss on tbe night of tbe 26th as a thief, and if he don't like theso here my sentiments, I would like for him to come around and try to help bi-nself." ? That there is a wild and untamable lust forever lurking in the breast of man to know of his neighbor's shame and have it published to the world is as cer? tain as the calculations of an eclipse.

Men scattered, boys yelled, wo? men shrieked, ohildren squalled. What a- noise on the street I Two of those alien animals had grown angry and began to fight. What was to be done? Could they be parted ? No. Must they die in blood, while so many stood idle ? Yes yes. Oh 1 save ue from the sight. We will attempt a cleacription: Those animals partook strangely of human form, beast, bird and fish. They stood on two feet like men?some having same number of toes. Their legs were covered with scales like fish. The upper part of the thigh was covered with feath? ers like birds. On either side were grown out appendages corresponding to the arms of man. The head was held high like unto that of an African giraffe. They had horns like an ox on each leg, Their tails were raised and curved more fraceful than that of the wild buffalo, hair backs were shaped very much like the seat of an extra easy seated saddle. But their heads! How can we describe them ? For fear we miss it, we will only say that they had eyes, nose, mouth, etc, like other animals, but no forehead or chin; something hung under the throat like mottles under a pig's neck.
