Of course the statute was the work of the Colonial As? sembly, but able jurists hold that it is still Jinding. If this view is sustained, com? ments the New^ York Telegram, other states may count" upon getting Georgia ^^rjeachers-at cnt prices. ; Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, f;"seanis to have a number of very vihole &some old-fashioned Democratic ideas ; ; about spending public money only for -^ necessary things. When the Legislature made an appropriation for ten thousand v - ; copies of his message for free distribution, ? .the Governor vetoed it on the ground that ??-the expenditure was uncalled for, as the ?-V"newspapers had already given every reading family in the State a copy of the ^message. ? t^i'.The prospects of the Sooth ten years I ago were no more to be compared to those ? of the present than the faint light of the "p glow worm to the brightness of the noon ?'*day.8nn. Everything is being dona on a P gigantic scale. While ten years ago $100,000 was considered a large capital C for a manufacturing company, now noth ing is thought of a capital stock ranging ?:-vfrbm one to ten millions, and manulacta ^?"rers often make fortunes by building vil rlages around their factories, which soon become thriving manufacturing towns. With each succeeding year the possibili ~ ties of Southern development are enlarg? ed. . -mm General Joseph E. Johnston, the ranking surviving officer of the Confede ?^iate Army, died in Washington, D. 0., Hhat Sunday morning, and the announce ^ment of his death has brought sorrow to &?all of the old Confederate soldiers, who ?>will ever revere his memory. He waa born in Virginia in 1809, and was in the Vo83rd year of his age,. Gen. Johnston graduated ia.the same class with General ^ Lee at West Point in 1829, and had the usual experience of army men of that I;dafe, gradually gaining promotion in the service until the breaking out of the war. ||When he left Washington in April, 1861, to join the Confederacy he was Quarter? n-Master General in the United States :.

I., March 20.?A theft without parallel hero was discover? ed this morning, when it was ascertained that during the night a man had scaled a mason's ladder on the 250 feet high stack of the Narragaosett Electric Light Com? pany, cut off and carried away the plati? num tips to tho lightDiog conductors just placed in.position. Galena, Illinois, March 20.?At the neighboring village of Centerville, Wis., four critical cases of trichinosis, caused by eating raw or partially cooked ham, exist. The sick are confined to two families, but it is expected that others will be affected, as the diseased meat was partaken of generally. Examined under a microscope it was found to be fairly swarming with the deadly parasites. Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 17.?While James Pollock and his son were riding in a carriage from Dallas yesterday, they were overtaken by a whirlwind and the men and carriage lifted bodily and car? ried Borne distance and thrown against trees. Each of them weighed about 200 pounds. They were badly injured. The whirlwind was confined to a narrow compass and did no other damage. Birmingham, Ala., March . 20.? Isaac Bnfort, a farmer, yesterday attempt? ed to cross Valley creek in a wagon, in which were his wife and three children. The creek was much swollen, and the wagon and team were washed down stream. The children were drowned, the youngest being washed from its mother's arms, while she was*clinging to a limb to keep her head above water. Bufort sue* ceeded in rescuing his wife, after she had released her hold of the limb in a vain effort to save the b&be. Augusta, March 21.?Last night an inmate of the house of Martha Perry, colored, living on the outskirts of the city, picked up- a piece of plank on her way home. It was placed on the fire during the night and exploded, tearing the chimney to pieces, breaking every pace of glass in the windows and seri? ously injuring Martha Perry and her child, Frances Williams and Clarence Watkins. The latter will probably die. The supposition is that dynamite was on the plank. No other theory is given. Chaelotte, N. C, March 19.?With her shoes in her hand Miss Fannie Yan dle, a Pineville society belle, climbed out of her bedroom window at 12 o'clock last night and eloped with J. D. Crump. Hand in hand the loving pair started to . walk across the dividing line into South Carolina, very near by, but got lost in the woods and groped about till daylight before they could continue their flight from parental obstructive agencies. Rev. John Culps married the pilgrim pair and now Col. Yandle, the bride's father, who represents one of the leading families in the South, vows vengeance against son in-law Crump. Snow Hill, Md., March 19.?Harry Hudson, a young man living near Bishop ville, this County, made a wager with a friend that he could eat a half gallon of peanuts within a given time, which feat lie accomplished with some minutes to his credit, and the wager was promptly paid. Hudson departed for home with the wager safely stowed away in his pocket and half a gallon of peanuts lying quietly under his vest. D?ring the night the young man was seized With violent pains, which the doctors have been una? ble to relieve. His lower intestines are gorged, and he is suffering terribly, his cries being audible a square distant. Nothing can be done to save him, and he will probably die within a day. Decattjb, Ala., March 18.?In the City. Court yesterday a trial was being held to compel the Judge of the Probate Court to issue & licence authorizing the sale of whiskey in the town of Falk ville, where there is a law prohibiting the sale within three miles of the town. Both sides were largely represented legally and the court room was crowded. One of the Prohibition leaders opposing the is? suance of the license, in attempting to hang up his overcoat in full view of the court, accidentally let fall from one of his pockets a flask, which struck the floor with a crash. The court, unable to restore order, took a recess. Sumner, Ga., March 22.?It is feared that Mr. Taylor Pearson's eldest son will die from the bite of a rattlesnake. While out hunting his dog treed a rabbit in an old stump hole. He, not thinking of any danger, ran his hand into the hole to get his game, when to his surprise a rattle? snake seized his finger; and being unable to loose the reptile's death-like grip with one hand he wa3 compelled to go at least a quarter of a mile to the house, the snake still clinging to his finger, where, to get it loose, they had to cut the rattler's head off and prize its teeth out. The boy's arm was swollen the next morning until it burst. He was suffering great pain when last heard from. Augusta, Ga., March 20.?Mr. W. P. Trowbridge died this morning from lock? jaw. Last week during the nigh water, Mr. Trowbridge, with Messrs. W. H. Moody and George Binam, went hunting over in Carolina. While Mr. Trowbridge was fondling his dog, the animal jumped upon, him and accidentally struck the hammer of his master's gun. The entire load entered Mr. Trowbridge's right arm between the shoulder and the elbow. Last Wednesday night lockjaw set in, and the wounded man continued to grow worse and worse, until death relieved his acute sufferings this morning. Mr. Trowbridge'8 life could have been saved tation of the wounded limb. Johnson, S. C, March 21.?John Anderson, a young white man, was walk? ing out on his premises, one mile from here, about 2 o'clock this afternoon, with a negro man, when they met a negro boy named Henry Ryon, about 16 years old; who was hunting with a gun and dogs, Anderson told Ryon he was trespassing. Ryon turned off, without replying. An? derson walked toward him and asked to see his gun. ''The boy's reply was, "The gun is not mine." Anderson asked him the second time. He still refused, and turned on Anderson and fired, the load striking him in the right jaw, killing him almost instantly. Ryon has not been captured. This is the statement of the colored man who was the only eye? witness to the shooting. Anderson, until recently, has been town marshal of John? ston, and was known as a fearless man. Two years ago he killed a desperate negro here in self-defense. Highlands, N. C, March 16.?One mile from this placa this morning a young horse, the property of Mr. S. P. Ravenel, slipped over what is known to all visitors of Highlands as "Lover's Leap." This bluff is situated on Mr. Ravenel's place. The horse went down 125 feet, where he landed upon a rock jutting out of the side of the mountain. He was found there by Mr. Ravenel's agent, who got a force of hands and went to the foot of the monntain and slowly worked their way up to where he was. They had to cross a chasm forty feet wide to get to him. This they succeeded in doing by felling two large trees, which lodged upon the ledge on which the horse was. Resting their bridging upon these trees they wero enabled to get to him and, to the surprise of every one, he was found to be alive and only slightly bruis? ed upon each knee. He was then led over the bridge and taken down the mountain side after hours of tedious labor. The horse is apparently all right and none the worse for his dangerous leap. Deteoit, Mich., March 20.?Joseph Perrin, proprietor of one of the largeBt flouring mills in Detroit and a half mil? lionaire, was called to his door last night by a messenger with a message purport? ing to come from a friend who was rep? resented as ill and desirous of Perrin's attendance. He entered a coach with tn.3 stranger and went away. At 1 o'clock this morning Perrin's home door bell was rung and an envelope was thrust in by a young man who immediately dis? appeared. The envelope contained a check for $15,000 on the Peninsular bank, of which Perrin is vice president and a large stockholder, a promisory note for $15,000, payable in five days, and a letter to Perrin's nephew, Hezzelbacher, advising him to cash or negotiate the check, or, failing either to raise $15,000 on his own property to be paid as ransom if he had only ted to allow ampu for Perrin, who was being held by some parties, whom the letter did not disclose. The letter appointed a rendezvous at which the money might be paid this evening. The police were immediately put at work upon the ca3e, but up to 11 o'clock this morning have no clue either to the persons who kidnapped Perrin or to his present whereabouts. Parrin is a bachelor, ?S years old, and extensively interested in Detroit's industries and fi nancial institutions. Both the note and check bore Perrin's genuine signature. Wade Hampton Interviewed. Ex Senator Wade Hampton was inter? viewed at Petersburg, Va., the other day by Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, the colored jonrnalist, and the result is an interesting column in the New York Sun. Follow? ing are excerpts: "What about the Bpeakership of the next house ?" I "I think it will be a mistake to elect a Southern man as speaker. I think some ! good Northern or Western man should be selected. I think the Democratic party made a great mistake in the Fiftieth congress by electing a Southern man-as speaker of the house and by giving the principal chairmanships of committees to Southern men. Again, I think the Dem? ocratic party made a mistake in the cam? paign of 1888 by flooding the North with Southern speakers. It is a bad policy. The voters resent it. If Northern speak? ers should be sent into the South we should reBent it. We know more about our own affairs than outsiders do. I think the Northern voters resented the fact of our sending them Southern speak? ers to instruct them in 1888." "Then you are not in favor of electing a Southern man speaker of the house of the Fifty-second Congress?" "Emphatically no." "What is your opinion of the future relations of the races in the South ?" "Most hopeful. I agree with the re? cent opinion of Senator Carlisle, that there will be less and less of friction be? tween the races; that they will come more and more to understand the mutu? ality ot their interests, and that they will more and more co-operate together for the common good. In my own State the colored people have great reBpect for me, and in any division of votes, caused by the position of, the Farmers' Alliance, I am sure that the best elements among the colored people would co-operate with the best elements among the white peo? ple." "That being the case, would you not feel it a public duty to accept the guber? natorial nomination if offered to you ?" "I must straighten out my personal affairs," replied the general, and he really looked as if he wished not to be called upon to,make other sacrifices prejudicial to his personal interests. As the cars sped away Southward I could not but think pleasantly of the fine old type of Southern gentleman. Death of Gen. Joseph E, Johnston. Washington, March 21.?Gen. Joseph E. Johnston died shortly after 11 o'clock to-night at his residence on Connecticut avenue. He has been suffering for the past three weeks with an affection of the heart, aggravated by a cold he caught soon after General Sherman's funeral in New York. His physician has been try? ing to help up his strength for some days, but his advanced age has given little hope for his recovery from the beginning of his illness. Gen. Johnston did not seem to suffer in the least and- was conBciouB to the last. At his bedside were Ex-Governor Mc? Lean, of Maryland, the General's broth? er-in-law, and the nurse. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, the result of fatty degeneration of the heart due in a measure to cold contracted some weeks ago, but more particularly due to extreme old age. At times for about two years Gen. Johnston had shown unmi?ta ble Bigns of a general breaking down. His mind often became bewildered bo that he could not tell where he was or how he came there. Some days after the Sherman fnneral one night he got up out of bed while in a state of profuse perspi? ration, which greatly aggravated a slight cold with which he was then suffering. This brought on a severe attack of his old heart trouble, whicn completely proB trated him. His physician, Dr. Lincoln, succeeded, however, with much difficulty, in arresting the disease for a day or two prior to a week ago. Yesterday he seemed to be really improving. On that day, however, he went down stairs without any assistance, as he had done before, but it proved too much for his strength. He continued to grow worse until about 6 o'clock this evening, when Dr. Lincoln found him perfectly comfortable and apparently a little better. While his friends and attendants knew that he. might pass away at any time, yet they bad no idea that the end was bo near. Governor McLane entered the room at a little after 11 o'clock, and a8 he approach? ed the General's bedside, he heard an al? most sigh, and the old hero was dead. Gen. Johnston's nearest living relative is his sister, Mr3. Mitchell, who lives in this city. The funeral services will be held in this city, although the day has not been fixed upon. Tho interment will be made in Green Mount Cemetery, Baltimore. A Popular Error Exposed. Washington, March 22.?Acting Secretary Nettleton, of the treasury de? partment, has issued a circular letter modifying the form of Government spe? cial tax stamp for retail liquor dealers, so as to clearly Bhow the United States do not authorize the sale of liquor contrary to State or municipal regulations. The letter Bays: "Letters are frequently received at the department stating that in many parts of country retail liquor dealers claim to hold' a permit or license from the United States for carrying on their business; that in many cases where local laws prohibits public drinking placea the law is openly violated by persons who claim to do buB-' iness under at least the moral sanction of the 'Federal license.' and that this fact, together with a belief common among many good citizens that the United States Government does in fact issue such licen? ces, greatly retards the enforcement of wholesome restrictive laws and promotes disorder. "It should bo unnecessary to state that the United StateB Government does not issue a license or permit of any nature to any person in any State to carry on the business of a retail liquor dealer, and it is difficult to understand how any intelli? gent citizen can be imposed upon by the opposite claim. Congress having levied a revenue stamp tax of $25 per annum on the business of a retail liquor dealer, the commissioner of internal revenue endea? vors to collect that tax, wherever and by whomsoever the business ia carried on, but no semblance of permission, express or implied, is given by the United States Government in its revenue laws or other? wise to begin or continue such business in any place contrary to local legislation. "Hereafter the following will be in? scribed across the face of the stamp to be issued to retail liquor dealers : "This Btamp is simply a receipt for a tax due the Government, and does not exempt the holder from any penalty or punishment provided for by the law of any Stato for carrying on said business with Buch State, and does not authorize the commencement nor continuance of such business contrary to the laws of such State, or in places prohibited by munici? pal law." Au Ancient Whisky Still. Deputy Collector Ensor's report of a novel capture effected by his raiders in the mountains was received at the office of Collector Webster last night. On March 15?last Sunday?the raiding party cap? tured and destroyed in North Greenville - County an illicit distillery which is sup? posed to have been tho original still from which Father Noah imbibed his intoxi? cants. The outfit consisted of an old wash pot of about eighteen gallons ca? pacity, with a modern cap made out or baaa wood hollowed out, and a worm made from rusty twisted iron pipe. With this primitive apparatus the output per day is about three gallons.?The State. Tue Coosaw War. Attorney General Pope yesterday tele? graphed to Governor Tillman from Aikerj, that Judge Aldrich in Chambers, had appointed Captain U. R. Brooks tempo? rary receiver to take charge of the Coo3aw territory. The application for tho ap? pointment was made by Attorney-Gener? al Pope, and Messrs. George S. Mower, Robt. Aldrich and H. A. M. Smith, rep? resenting the State aod the licensees of the Phosphate Commission. Captain Brooks had gone to meet the Attorney General and it is said will advertise for bids from anybody who desires to mine rock in the Coosaw river, and that when such bids are approved by Judge Aldricb, the parties will be allowed to mine, and the net receipts will be held by the Re? ceiver pending the decision of the United States Court as to whether the State or the Coosaw Company has exclusive rights in Coosaw river. It remains to be Been whether this will "relieve the situation" or complicate it still more, for it does not appear that Judge Simonton has removed the injunc? tion against any one from in any manner or way interfering with or interrupting the occupancy and quiet enjoyment of tho ?said Coo?aw Company of that part of the Coosaw River occupied by them," or "from authorizing or assuming to author? ize others to enter upon Baid territory or to dig or to remove phosphate rock or deposits therefrom or from any portion thereof, and from instigating or encoura? ging others to do bo." Of course there may be agreement by general consent to acquiesce in the ap? pointment by Judge Aldrich of tho State Court of a temporary receiver, who can permit all parties to mine as above indi? cated, and hold the receipts pending the decision of the suit in the United States Court; but, on the other hand, if there is not such an agreement, it looks so to a layman as if there is a conflict of juris? diction pendfng, which will be of a most interesting nature.?Columbia Register, 22nd. Escaped Being Eaten, Charleston, March 20.?The entire colored population of Charleston was thrown into convulsions to-day by a panic among colored children in the Mary Street school. This is the largest colored school in the United States, having nearly 1,500 pupils. It was about 10.30 o'clock when a wiry built, bright colored man dressed in the fantastic costume of an east Indian, walked into one of the class rooms of the primary department and began to make a speech to the children. He told them he was a reformed cannibal and used to eat human beings, and his gen? eral appearance bore his assertion out. The colored people have lately been on their perennial scare about the medical students and were easily frightened. The children laughed at him at first, but he ran at one of the girls with outstretch? ed arms and she fled, shrieking that the man was going to eat her. Swiftly the panic spread, and in a mo? ment the whole school was in a fright. They rushed heiter skelter out of the class rooms, down the stairs into the yard, and hence pell mell across the grounds, over the fences and into the Btreet. They atood not on the order of their going, but went. The excitement spread through the primary to the intermediate department and within three minutes after the first shriek of the frightened girl rang through the building there was not a child in it. By this time the colored population for squares around had been attracted by sounda of the children's screams and had gathered from all directions until the street in front of the building was a tea of black faces.' Everybody waB yelling at the top of their voices, and awhile it seemed as though pandemonium had been let loose. News of the panic spread far and wide throughout the city, and by the time it reached the lower nortion of the city it had been magnified into a terrible acci? dent. The building was said to have caved in, causing the loss of hundreds of lives. A platoon of policemen arrived on the Bcene but were utterly powerless to keep the crowd out. Mothers scaled the fen? ces shrieking for their children and the confusion became worse and worse con? founded. After a long battle the police managed to clear space enough to allow the children to come out and things were finally quieted down. The most remarkable thing about it is that only three out of 1,500 pupils were injured, none fatally. The man who caused the panic was arrested and had to be escorted to the police station under a strong guard. He Bays he is a Fiji Is? lander 79 years old and was once a canni? bal. He gives the name of John Char vin and says he dined once with James G. Blaine at his home at Augusta. He is now on a lecturing tour and was to have lectured to-night in one of tbe col? ored churches. He claims to be a British subject, and says he will demand satis? faction for his treatment through tbe British consul here from the British gov? ernment. When he went to the school house he was dressed in crimson damask and showed finger nailrseven inches long and filed teeth. He denies that he want? ed to frighten the children.?Dispatch to Greenville News. Ingers?ll Hopes for Heaven. New York, March 22.?To-night, before an audience that crowded the Broadway theatre, Col. Robert G. Inger soll delivered the last of a series of lec? tures for the benefit of the New York PreBS Club building fund. HiB subject was Shakespeare and he openod with a eulogy of the late Lawrence Barrett. He Baid: "Lawrence Barrett was my friend, and I was his. He was an interpreter of Shakespeare, to whose creations he gave flesh and blood. He was the greatest tragedian of our time next to Edwin Booth. He shunned the questionable, the vulgar and impuie. He was a thoughtful Hamlet, au intense Othello and tbe best Cassius of the century. One by one the players leave the stage and others take their places. There is no pause, no one knows what the next scene is to be. Will this drama have an end ? Will the curtain fall at last, and will it rise again on some other stage ? Reason Bays "perhaps," hope still whispers "yes." Sadly I bid my friend farewell. I ad? mire the actor, I love the mau. [Great | applause.] ? The ladies of the present day in New York and elsewhere who flatter themselves that they dress expensively should read about Lollia, Paulina, Sabina and a few more of their Roman prototypes Paulina, for instance, is known to have have a gown that cost $1,600,000. Pliny records the fact of seeing her at a plain citizen's wedding supper covered with pearls and emerald's vnlned at 40,000,000 Becterces, equivalent to $1,560,000. Sa? bina was the fair Roman dame who never travelled without a train of 500 asses, so that she might not miss her dally bath in asses' milk. The object in raking up these old personalities is to show our American ladies that they are really dressing in a very common way. ?To the present generation the famous John A. Murrell, tho outlaw of the south? west, Beems a loDg way off. Yet, only a few dayB ago his widow, Mrs. Bland, died in Henderson County, Tenn. After the death of Murrell she married Bland, and by the latter marriage had children, grand-children and great grand children. She lived very quietly and never talked about her first husband, whose name waB once the terror of all the States South of | the Ohio. ? A writer in the Southern Farm. At? lanta's agricultural monthly, makes a strong argument in favor of female phy? sicians for women. He says that certain specialties were in the hands of women practitioners In all countries and ages til comparatively recent times. In support of his position he quotes from the Old Testament. It is a striking article and advances some very strong reasons why women should be tue physicians of wo? men in many cases. ?

No medicine has had greater success in checking consumption, in its early stages, than Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It stops coughing, soothes the throat and lungs, and induces much-needed repose. Hun? dreds have testified to the remarkable virtues of this preparation. For purifying the blood, stimulating the appetite, and invigorating the system in the Spring and early Summer, Ayer's Saraaparilla is unsurpassed.
