Mrs. Claudia Black mac, the beloved wife of Rev. S. T. Black man, of the South Carolina Conference, died at the' home of her father, Mr. G. M. Harper, in Hope well Township, last Tuesday morning. She had been ill only a short time, and passed peacefully away, surrounded by sorrowing friends and relatives, who knew and loved her during her beautiful lifo. Mrs. Black man was about 18 years of age, and was a devoted Christian. About a year ago she was married to Mr. Blackman, whose grief over her is shared in by many who sympathize most sin? cerely with him in his hour of trial. Her remains were Interred in the churchyard at Sandy Springs on Wednesday. A new and singular cause of that com? mon complaint, nervous prostration, was given by an old colored man who lately called at a physician's office : "You say that your wife is very sick with nervous prostration?" asked the physician. "Deed she is 1" was the emphatic reply. "She's been mighty bad off fo' some time now, sah." "What has been the cause of the attack?overwork ?" "No, sab, not dat. To' see we had a monstrous fine tu.'key Christmas, a noble big bird it was, sah, en my wife she done eat the biggest part of it, en mos'-ob a mince-pie, en a lot ob sweet stuff aftahward, sab, en her nar vous system ain't been right since, sah." The Greenville Enterprise and Moun? taineer, of last week, says: "Mr. B. V.< Thompson, formerly School Commissioner of Greenvillo County, died nt Pelzer on Saturday last, aged about fifty years, from consumption. Several years ago he moved to Alabama, where his health was much impaired, from which he never recovered after his return. He was a faithful Con? federate soldier and lost a leg while in the service. In 1881 he was chosen School Commissioner, in which position he served one term, fulfilling its duties faith? fully. For many years be taught in the Public Schools, and was laborious and efficient in endeavoring to improve the minds of those youth committed to his care." The Columbia Register of last Sunday says: "It is now understood as certain that Judge Cothran has accepted the posi? tion of general counsel for South Carolina for the Richmond and Danville Railroad systom, but that ho will serve out his term in Congress before devoting his entire attention to the position. Col. B. L. Ab ney of this city has accepted the position of assistant counsel, and will have charge of the legal business of the Charlotte, Co? lumbia and Augusta Railroad. Colonel Orr of Greenville, and Major D. R. Dun? can of Spartanburg, have also been en? gaged as assistant counsel, with the Co? lumbia and Greenville and Spartanburg, Union and Columbia Railroads as their special charge respectively." Bryon Clement, a darkey about 18 years of ago, visited the city last Saturday, and, it seems, went into a sort of wholesale stealing business. From R. S. Hill's store he stole a pair of shoes. He then visited A. G. Means' clothing store, and carried off a coat and vest and an overcoat. To complete the suit, he visited M. Scbwartzberg's store and stole a pair of pants. Policeman McKinney got on track of the rogue and in a short time had him confined in the station house. The darkey confessed to the stealing and told where the goods were, which were recov? ered. Mayor Tribble sentenced the negro to pay a fine of $10, or thirty days on the streets. He chose tho latter, and when he will have served his time, he will go to jail to awajt his trial jn the Circuit Court. 6 Honoa Path has a most excellent, young man, who is familiarly known as "Bache? lor Bob." He is one of her most clever and substantial business men, and for several years numbers of bis admirors among the fair sex, knowing that he would make a model busband, have laid their plans to catch him, but without suc? cess, for his modesty and bashfulness would not let them get nearer to him than speaking distance. It was a rare sight to see him in company with the ladies, and he was never known to visit them. Re? cently, however, he mot his fate, and in a short time afterwards called upon her. \ He sat in her presence for some time with? out uttering a word, but finally broke the monotony by asking her if she knew whether the last Legislature passed the marriage license law. His friends are hopeful now, and think tho wedding will soon take place. Don't forget to send the Intelligencer an invitation, Bob.

Mr. McLees paid this community a flying visit a few days ago. He has friends by tho score in this section, all of whom were rpjoiced to see him. Our community was overshadowed with sorrow by the announcement on Friday afternoon last that thelife of Mrs. W. W. Gillespie had gone out. It was generally known that her recovery was almost an impossibility, yet some enter? tained a faint hope that her life would be spared a few more years. In her death this community has lost one whose place will be hard to fill. All our life long have we known her, and time and again have been the recipient of favors both in words and deeds at her bands, and never did we hear her speak other than well of any one. Of a cheerful nature, she always carried suusbino, howover dark and foreboding the surroundings. She was an exemplary member of the Asso? ciate Reformed Presbyterian Church, and always let her light shine, as the light only of a true Christian can shine, ever showing her faith by her deeds of love. Our heart, with numbers of others, burns with sympathy with the grief stricken husband, sisters and brothers in their sad? ness.

Washington, January 10.?A bill has been prepared by Gen. Grosvenor establishing the Chattanooga and Chicka? mauga National Military Park, which has the support of lending members of the societies of the Army of the Cumber? land, the Army of the Tennessee, the Army of lIio Potomac and ull the leadiog Ex Confederate officers engaged in the battles indicated. It provides that on jurisdiction being ceded to tbe United States by the States of Tennessee and Georgia tbe public roads along tbe crest of the Mississippi Ridge, from the north eud of Sherman's Height's to Rossville, the road from Rossville to McFarland's Gap and the road from Rossville by way of Lee & Gordon's Mills to Crawfish Springs, shall become approaches to and parts of said national park. The park proper, to which title is to be obtained by the United States by condemnation and purchase, after ceding of the jurisdiction by the State of Georgia, embraces the battlefield of Chickamauga, and is to be bounded by a line Btnrting on Lafayette road just north of tbe Cloud House, thence west to McFarland's Gap, thence along the Diy Valley road to the road from Crawfish Springs and Lee & Gor don's Mills, thence to these mills, thence down the Chickamauga River to Reed's bridge, and thence to the place of begin? ning) covering about 7,000 acres. The affairB of the park are to be managed under the Secretary of War by three commissioners, one to be an army officer. It is made the duty of these commissioners under the Secretary of War, to ascertain and substantially mark all battle lines. Tbe Chicamauga Me jnorial Association, an incorporation under the laws of Georgia and the author? ities of any of the States which had troops in the battles of Chickamauga or Chattanooga, are given the right to ascertain and mark tbe lines of their troops, subject to the approval of the Secretary of War, who shall have the right to decide disputed points. The present owners of property on the field within the proposed limits of the park are to be allowed to remain, if they so desire, on their lauds, after the pur? chase by tbe Government, on terms which amounts to little more than an. agree? ment on their part to preserve the build? ings which were standing at the time of the battle, and the present outlines of fields and forests, and to help care for and preserve the marks which may be placed on tbe field. An appropriation of ?250,000 is provided for carrying the Act into effect. - The bill has been under consideration by a large number of soldiers of both armies for over a year. ? ? ? - Judge Cooler's Nerve, Detroit, Mich., Jan. 10.?Early last evening Judge Cooley, of Ann Arbor, chairman of the inter State Commerce Commission, was sitting reading in his library, when bis negro coachman, armed with a double barreled shotgun, entered. ?The Judge was satisfied from his appear? ance that he had become insane, but be? traying no alarm, be asked him what was the matter. The negro replied that he had decided to kill tbe whole family, as they talked too much and left, him no time to think. The judge betrayed no alarm, and told him be agreed with him and that he would attend to it. By the use of consummate tact, the judge sue* ceeded in mollifying tbe madman until be at last laid down his. gun, and at tbe judge's suggestion left the room. As soon as he was out of hearing the judge tele? phoned to neighbors, and in a short time a deputy sheriff placed the coachman un? der arrest. Doubtless a wholesale and most frightful tragedy was averted by the nerve and coolness which tbe distinguish? ed jurist exhibited. Is Consumption Incurable 1 Read the following : Mr. C. H. Morris.
