isirued by the * census bureau, and
contain preliminary statistics of cot
produced in the States of North and
i Carolina, Georgia and Florida for
year ending May-31, 1890. In South
ilina the total area devoted to the
Itivation of cotton in 1889?1890 was 1,
087,651 acres, and the production of cot?
ton 743,798, as compared with a cultivated
area of 1,964,249 acres and a production of
: 522,543 bales In 1879?1880. There was,
therefore, an increase of 623,402 acres, or
' 45.69 pei- cent, in the area cultivated and
of 224,250 bales or 42.91 per cent, in tbe
neunter of bales produced, tbe yield in
1879?1860 being at the rate of 0.38 of a bale
to the acre, or 2.61 acres to the bale, and
in 1889?1890 at the rate of 0.38 of a hale to
the acre, or 2.66 acres to the bale. Every
cotton-producing county in the State,
with the exception of Charleston County,
out of which Berkely County was formed
in 1882, shows an increase in area devo?
ted to cotton, and all but four show an in?
crease in production. Barn well County
had the largest acreage in cotton in
??1890 and Abbeville County the lax

L00y9c0 acres in cotton, from which was
itherered 41,527 bales.

MOB LAW.
Dave Shaw was a negro, and was a citi?
zen of Sullivan Township, Laurena Coun?
ty. His reputation was that of a thievish
follow, and one day last week a warrant
was taken out for his arrest, charging
him with house-breaking in the night?
time and grand larceny. Had he been
tried and convicted of either or both
these crimes the punishment would have
been a term of imprisonment in the pen?
itentiary at hard labor.
The officer to whom was committed the
warrant found Shaw at work near his
home and arrested him without trouble.
Late in the evening he started with his
prisoner to return to the Trial Justice
who had issued the wan ant. On the way
'they were stopped by a mob of fifteen or
twenty persons and the prisoner taken
- from the officer. The mob was supposed
to consist of white men, but it was too
dark to Bee, so the officer stated.
For some days the fate of the unhappy
negro was unknown, though it was sup?
posed he was lynched and his body con?
cealed. Gov. Till man was notified of the
occurrence, and promptly ordered Solici?
tor Sohumpert, of Newberry, to make a
thorough investigation of the matter.
The Solicitor did so, and reaches the con?
clusion "that Dave Shaw was brutally
murdered." Thereupon the Governor
offered rewards amounting to $2,000 for
the apprehension of and proof to convict
the perpetrators of the cowardly crime.
It seems to us that the Solicitor brought
to light evidence that may bring the
guilty persons to trial, if it be properly
followed up.
There was no justification whatever for
this outrage, and there is something pe?
culiarly shocking about it. The unfor?
tunate negro was made to suffer death
for an offense that no civilized country
deems worthy of death, and the citizens
who constituted the mob seem to have
with deliberation and without a cause to
highly excite their feelings taken the
blood of their fellow-man upon their
hands, and though they may escape pun?
ishment of men, yet they must stand
convicted of murder by their own con?
sciences, and must know that the mark
of Cain is upon them.
From every standpoint this affair is
censurable to the last degree. Its influ?
ence upon a proper observance and re?
spect for the majesty of the law, upon
society, especially as to its bearing upon
the race question, and upon the religious,
financial and political interests of tho
State ia detrimental. Our enemies feel
justified in branding us as outlaws and
out-throats, and in warning strangers to
keep away from us. u
Chief Justice Bleokley, of the Supreme
Court of Georgia, has recently made a
speech on "Emotional Justice," and
treats of the evils of mobism in a bread
and clear style.. Speaking of the per?
sonality of mobs and the individual re?
sponsibility of each for the offense of the
wholo, this distinguished jnris? says:
"It is true beyond question, that mobs
for the infliction of summary justice on
offenders, or.. supposed offenders, are
composed chiefly of good citizens. With?
out this element, no such mob would
or could exist. Mobs of bad men only
would not violate law in the interest of
law and order. None but the good do
evil that good may abound. In so far as
the public weal is a motive in the exer?
cise of mob violence, the case is always
one of goodness acting under a mistake
of duty. If that mistake could be pre?
vented, there wonld be no mobs. One of
the most urgent needs of our time is an
earnest, temperate, judicious and persist?
ent remonstrance from the bench, the
pulpit, the press and the rostrum against
emotional justice. That essential part of
mob material which is composed of good
citizens should be made to see and real?
ize that, while a mob may punish guilt,
its members inour guilt, and that for
every guilty person purged out of society
by such means, two or more equally
guilty are brought in. Nothing is more
certain than that mob executions increase
the criminal population of the State. The
larger the mob and the more secure of
immunity, tho more criminals are
lodged in the bosom of society; and each
man 1b no less guilty than if the crime
of the whole mob had been committed
by himself alone. This is true both legal?
ly and morally. Murder is none the less
wicked because perpetrated by a crowd.
Nothing would be needed to convert a
State Into a colony of criminals but that
its mobs should be large enough and
numerous enough. Whoever is unwil?
ling for the State to become a mob, ought
to be unwilling to encourage or share
in mob violence."
So full of wisdom are the words of
this philosopher and oracle that we quote
again from his speech, and call upon
sensible people everywhere to ask them- j
selves if his utterance be not true, and if
the condition described may not be near?
er at hand than any one suspects. He
says:
"I exhort and adjure all good citizens
! to co-operate with the executive and ju?
diciary in staying quickly that violent
justice which Is administered by mobs?
that v 'Id and* lawless justice which is
rife in our unhappy country. Children
already born may live to see mobs
mobbed; large moos may execute small?
er ones; mobs of one race may rise up
against mobs ot another race; mobs of
I bad men may become as numerous and
more terrible than mobs of good men;
brute force, through a long and bloody
period of disorder, may reign supreme!
Judge Lynch at the North.
Port Jervis, N. J., June 2.?Robert
Jackson, colored, to-day perpetrated a
most brutal assault upon the person of
Miss Lena McMahan, of this place. The
crime was committed in view of a num?
ber of young girls. Two young negroes,
who were also near the scene of the as?
sault, made an attempt to capture the
offender, but the brutal ravish er held
them at bay with a revolver. After the
commission of his crime, Jackson fled,
leaving his victim Insensible on the
ground, suffering from injuries which
will probably prove fatal. *
The report of the crime spread with
great rapidity, and in a very short time a
pos.:ie was in pursuit of the negro. He was
traced to Cuddebaok, nine miles from
Port Jervis, where he.was captured. The
brute was brought here, and when ques?
tioned confessed his crime. He implica?
ted Wiliam Foley, a white man, whom he
claimed wes in the conspiracy to ruin
Miss McMahan.
When the citizens heard that the villain
had been captured and brought to the vil?
lage, they assembled in large numbers
around the lockup and excitedly discuss?
ed the matter. The more fiery ones de?
clared that lynching was the on'y thing
that could wipe out the foul criaie.
"Act at once," was the cry which went
up, and a rash was made for the jail
door. This scon gave way before the vig?
orous onslaught of the furious mob,
and the prisoner was soon in their hands,
whom the police unavailingly tried to
resoue.
The mob dragged the negro up the
street, intending to take him before his
victim, but the anger of the mob could
not longer be restrained, and be was
hanged to the nearest tree. A howling
mob of over 1,000 persons witnessed the
lynching. The body was allowed to swing
from the tree for over an hour, where it
was viewed by thousands.

Gideon's Band Exposed.
Atlanta Journal.
"Gideon's Band" promises to play a
lively part in the campaign against tho
Third Party in Georgia.
1 It will be remembered thatthe existence
of a secret, oath-bound circle within the
Alliance, organized for the special pur?
pose of capturing the offices and ruling
the politics of the country was first re?
vealed to the public by the Rev. J. T. W.
Vernon, of Hart County, in a speech
made at Lavonia, Franklin County, on
the night of the 14th of May.
In his reply to the Third Party voters on
that occasion, Mr. Vernon said that he had
come to tell the people of the "goose that
laid the egg that hatched the Third Party."
That "goose," he said, was a secret inner
circle formed iDslde the Alliance. The
"band" was to consist of only thirty mem?
bers from each County, ana these thirty
were to manipulate the politics of the Al?
liance and control the offices.
Mr. Vernon's annonncement created a
sensation throughout the State, especially
in Alliance circles; and in view of the
publio interest aroused in it, be has been
induced to give to the publio exactly
what he knows about this mysterious
"Gideon's Band."
Mr. Vernon is a Baptist minister of
Hart County. He is widely known and
universally respected. He was the first
President of the Hart County Alliance,
and for two years has been County Lec?
turer. He is 70 years old, but alert and
vigilant still. Whatever he says will bear
weight wherever he is known.
Here is Mr. Vernon's statement as giv?
en to the Journal's Hartwell correspond?
ent :
Hart well, Ga., May 30.?In an Inter?
view to-daywith the Journal correspond?
ent Mr. J.T. W. Vernon took occasion to
make a statement of his knowledge of
"Gideon's Band" with a view to setting
himself right and correcting any errone?
ous impressions that may have gotten
abroad.
"In the first place," said Mr. Vernon,
"I did not say at Lavonia that the State
Alliance had anything to do directly with
'Gideon's Band.'' It was while I was in
attendance on the State Alliance as a del?
egate from Hart County, however, that I
first learned of the existence of this
band.
"Mr. DeJarrett, of Greene County, told
me all I know about the organization. Ho
si lid that he was authorized to get up such
a "band" in each County in the eighth
Congressional District, and that a man
had been appointed to do the same work
in each of the other districts.
"I was told that 'Gideon's Band' was
something like Free Masonry?one de
Sree higher than the regular Alliance and
lat it would not conflict with my politi?
cal or religions views. Being a Mason, I
"knew that if it was like Masonry it was
a good tilling, so with this assurance from
Mr. DeJarrett, Brother MaoFarlan and
myself were initiated into what we after?
wards found to be one of the foulest ma-,
chines of political corruption ever con?
cocted on American soil.
"As it seems to be 'something new un-.
der the sun,' I would lik: to know who
Erinted ill of DeJarrett's blanks, for he
ad a lot with him. The initiation fee
was 82. I was to pay him when I got the
'band' made up in my County.
"I consider such an organization a clear
case of conspiracy against the principles
of the Alliance, ana I would, therefore,
have nothing to do with it as soon as I
discovered its real nature.
"When Dr. Bobbins was on his rounds
lecturing the County Alliances in the 8th
district last fall, DeJarrett was with him,
and they came to my house. DeJarrett
then wanted to know if I had the 'band'
ready for him to organize. I told him I
had done nothing. I saw at once that he
was crestfallen, for he had lost his 'golden
fleece.'
"This is all I know personally about
'Gideon's Band.' I have heard of some?
thing that happened at Ocala that gave
rise to the 'band' which, If proved to be
true, would be worse tban dynamite In
the Third Party camp.
? "Brother MacFarlan. who joined the
'band' the same time I aid, was at Lavo?
nia when I exposed the thing. He is a
truthful man, and I knew I could appeal
to him to correct then and there any false
statements I might make.
"Brother MaoFarlan didn't say a word
in answer to my statement, as everyone
present at Lavonia that night will testify.
I am sorry that he or any other^ood man
Bhould suffer himself to be shorn of his
locks by fs Delilah and fall Into the hands
of the Philistines."
Mr. Vernon said that he hoped the
Democratic press of the State would give
Eublicity to this .statement in justice to
Im. "I can't be heard much longer," he
said, "as I am in my seventieth year; but
I still love my God, my country, my wife
and children, and white supremacy. I
hope and pray that the last trace of the
Third Party may be wiped out at this
fall's election, never to be resurrected for
the sake of greed and office."
Express Car BIddled.
Guthrie, I. T., June 2.?The details of
the robbery last night of the Wells Fargo
Express Car of the Santa Fe passenger
train make a story of unexampled out?
lawry on the part of the bandits and the
brave resistance on the part of the custo?
dians of the express company's property.
The robbery was an unique one m the
history of Indian Territory outlawry. In
the first place, the robbers got everything
in sight. Again, during the battle between
the messengers and bandits, in whioh
nearly 200 shots were fired, not a man
was wounded. Then again, the robbers
were of gentlemanly appearance and de?
portment in their relations with the train?
men, who were not pressed Into their ser?
vice, and with the passengers, several of
whom conversed with the robbers' lead?
er.
Finally, the robbery was doubtless
committed by the notorious Dalton gang,
for whom large rewards are still standing
and who were even then being tracked by
a detective and his posse, who were be?
hind them no more than a day's journey
on horseback. It was 10 o'clock when the
train reached Red Rock in the Northwest?
ern part of the Otoe and Missouri Reser?
vation in the Indian strip. Just as it was
pulling out a few minutes later two men,
with black masks covering their faces,
jumped suddenly in the engine's cab
from the tender and covering the engi?
neer and fireman with their revolvers,
commanded them to run the train to the
Btock yards and to stop at a given signal.
Carl Mack, the engineer, and Frank Rog?
ers, the fireman, obeyed the command,
To have resisted would have meant their
death.
I When the train s top p e d the two robbers
were joi ned by five masked companions.
[ Their leader commanded the engineer and
fireman to walk back to the express car,
and commanded the fireman to break
open the door with his coal pick. F. C.
Whlttlessy, the messenger, and J. A.
> Riehl, the guard, anticipating what was
going on when the train came to a stand?
still, had blown out the lights in the car
and refused to allow any one to enter.
The bandits, then opened fire upon the
oar from all sides, but the two men with?
in responded promptly, aiming all their
shots at the door. The highwaymen shot
into the car from all quarters, even get?
ting under It and shooting through the
floor. Their firing, however, was all to
no effect, for the messengers stood their
ground.
In the meantime one of the robbers bad
chopped a hole In the door of the car large
enongh to admit a man's body, and the
fireman was told to crawl through it into
the car. This placed him literally between
two fires, and Engineer Mack, seeing that
it meant death to his companion, explain?
ed the situation to the messengers within
and told them to cease firing. When the
robbers at last entered the express car
they covered those within with their
guns, and with a sledge hammer and
chisel broke open both way aud through
safes aud robbed thorn of everything of
value,
They also took $50 and-u gold watch
from the guard of the express car.
Messenger Whlttlesey bad hidden his
money and watch and the robbers got
nothing from him.
The robbers are described by several of
the passengors who talked with them as
being well dressed and of gentlemanly
appearance and bearing. This is especi?
ally true of the leader, who apologized to
the engineer for a rough remark made by
j one of his crowd and promised him that
it should not occur again. The leader, in
conversation with a passenger, asked for
some smoking tobacco. The passenger
reaohed Into his coat tall pocket for it,
when the robber told him if it was in his
I hip pocket he had not better attempt to
fel| it. The amount secured by the rob
ers is not known at this time, as the ex?
press company has made no statement.
After the robbery the men mounted their
horses and rode off to the Southwest,
The Daltons are charged with the crime,
I and judging from the description given of
the robbers by those who are acquainted
j with them, it was undoubtedly that no
; torious gang. The dotectlve and his
posse had been on the latter's track for
' some time.
I Only a day or so ago one of the gang
bought eighteen or twenty boxes of car?
tridges at Oklahoma City, and afterwards
escaped safely out of the village from the
posse that pursued him. A strong posse
? was organized here late last night and
went up to the scene of the robbery on a
freight train. It is thought the robbers
can be easily tracked on account of the
wet ground.
Wichita, Kansas, June 2.?A special
to the Eagle says a South-bound Sauta
Fe passenger train, which leaves Wichita
at 5.45 p. m., was held up at 9.45 last night
by masked robbers at the Btock yards
near the station of Red Rock, in the Cher?
okee Strip. The train was flagged and
the engineer and fireman taken prisoners.
The robbers then entered the express
car, broke open the safe and secured the
contents. The amount obtained is said to
be $50,000. The passengers were not mo?
lested.
Deputy United States Marshal Madison,
at Guthrie, was notified and will organize
a posse and start in pursuit of the gang,
the number of which is unknown. The
money obtained is thought here to have
been intended for Indian payments.
Paragraphs From Lowudesvllle.
The good judgment exercised by tbe
Intelligence!* in refusing to waste more
time and space refuting tbe groundless
charges of the Advocate is, indeed, cum*
mendable. Tbe paper that is totally de?
pendent on the prejudice of a party foe
tionforita maintenance, and is continu?
ally appealing to the repulsive sentiment
of that faction through the trepidation of
calamity, is wholly undeserving of more
than a brief notice.
Some of tbe Northern Democratic jour?
nals have discussed very freely tbe pro?
priety and expediency of admitting Ocala
delegates into the National Convention.
The once "Brave Ben. Tillman" may yet
"stoop" and fail "to conquer," for he rep?
resents Democracy that is not National.
? Onslow's" correspondence to the Slate
implies that the upheavel in tbe political
arena of South Carolina is only a partial
development of a strong and growing
spirit of communism. When wo make a
brief retrospection and begin to "sum up,"
there is not a lack of evidence for such a
conclusion.
It is astonishing to nc.e with wbat grace
Bob. Hempbill can dwell upon the theme
of "magnanimity." It is no less st riking
to observe the unprecedented, wonderfnl
knowledge that he has of tbe infinitesimal
events of the late war. As to tbe first, we
think it very unbecoming in that office
seeker to speak, or write, or think or party
"magnanimity;" for only a few more en?
couragements would take him full-fledged
into the sunny ranks of Third Party ism.
The campaign has opened, the ball has
been Bet to rolling, and the eager masses
may expect wonderful things. The Till?
man organs will make quite a gallant dis?
play during tbe heated conflict. Large,
attractive, glowing headlines will shine
forth, a long harrange on capital &nd cor?
porations will appear below, with a super?
fluity of manufactured filling interspersed,
while here and there will be found a few
terse, unique and scathing remarks
from the boas editors. Tillman will try
to avoid defending his administration?
the greatest reform fraud on record?and
will exert bis best efforts to become tbe
aggressor. But the conservative candi?
dates are going for that flimsy "bosh" of
fcrs, and he will be compelled to ' fight or
take water." Those boss organ editors
who have prepared their editorials for tbe
entire campaign in advance, beware !
Tbe Farmers' Movement held a meeting

scurity by connection with onr order,
who, having taken the Alliance tide at
the flood, has been borne on to fortune
and might have been to fume but for his
Innate want of principle and integrity?
qualities without which no amount of
talent can make a man great?has, with
an audacity unparallclled since tbe time
when the frog deemed itself the size of an
ox, endeavored to commit our grand or?
der to tbe so-called Democratic party."
This is strong language, and Implies a
spirit of venom and rebellion that is hard
to exceed. But the glory with which Col.
Livingston was borne to Congress, and
the condemnation which he has later re?
ceived from his former friends and com?
rades, contains a timely lesson for some of
our enthusiastical office-seekers. Col.
Livingston espoused the Alliance cause,
and no doubt did so with the best motive,
exeriiog all of his power for the material
advancement of the older. Bnt when tbe
masses, running wild with excitement,
and in political delusion saw the corrupt?
ness of tbe Democracy, and demanded a
Third Party, Col. Livingston uncompro?
misingly declined to follow tbem. Tbe
result has been a breach, a separating, a
bitter parting with their former cham?
pion. South Carolina politicians who
propose to win fame and distinction
within tbe ranks of the grand old Democ?
racy, and who are clinging to the popular
wave of feeling and prejudice of tbe pres?
ent for a quick adjustment of their politi?
cal schemes, might find a serviceable les?
son in the experience of Col. Livingston.
It doesn't require a superfluity of wisdom
and brains to stir the passions of tbe peo?
ple of a Commonwealth, but it calls every
slumbering tact and energy into play, and
demands tbe closest and most untiring
effor g of tbe best, and purest, and ablest
?men, to check them when tbey threaten
the very existence of prosperity.

We are having plenty of rain at this
writing, and a right good shower of hail
fell here last Saturday, but done no dam?
age.
We are glad to state that we had a most
enjoyable time at our speaking at this
place last Saturday night. Tho crowd
present was estimated by several at about
150 or 200 people. The people began to as?
semble at 7 o'clock p. m., everybody
seeming to be enjoying themselves talking
and laughing, anxiously awaiting the
hour for speaking to begin. The speakers
soon arrived and a regular good old-fash?
ioned hand-shaking took place. Mr. W.
I. Mahaffey called tbe meeting to order at
about 8-30 o'clock, and, after a few appro?
priate remarks, introduced as tbe first
speaker Hon. Morgan B. Pack, who gave
us a most excellent speech, speaking for
about an hour and a half. It was the best
speech I ever heard in all my life on the
subject of tbe prosperity of our land and
country. Mr. Pack was applauded fre?
quently while speaking, Mr, Mahafley
next introduced Hon. Joshua W. Ashley,
who spoke for about one hour, entertain?
ing the audience and gave ub formers some
good pointers as to tbe way we should
manage our affairs. The next speaker
was the Hon. W. A. Johnson, of William
ston, who entertained tbe crowd for a con?
siderable length of time. I think the de?
sign of tha meeting was to organize an
Alliance Club at this place in the near fu?
ture. Tbe speakers have our thanks for
their noble speeches, and the audience for
their good attention. Grit.
Wants Information.
Editors Intelligencer j I would
like to answer Mr. "Grit" through your
paper. In your issue cf last week he
wanted to know how we Williamston
{>oople could pay only two dollars or
bur days' work on the streets, and get out
of work at that, while the country people
have to work eight days or pay six dol?
lars. We will explain: We are Incorpo?
rated, and some of us pay our street
taxes, but a very small portion of the
streets have yet boen worked. So we
would like some one to tell us what goes
with the money, as this is the sixth
month of the year, or if street-working
has been suspended until next State elec?
tion is oven or if somo one should qot
look after this business, We would be
glad to hear from some one.

Well, Mr. Editor, we are still troubled
with that disease so common lu our
midst, viz: ' breaking out at the mouth."
How long we have had it, you already
know. My distinguished friend says he
caught it from me. Guess be is right, for
I caught it from him last July, while he
was wearing bis female apparel, and Judg?
ing by the amount of corruption that he
has recently emitted we think bis case is
in one of tue moBt aggravated forms, and
needs attention at once. However, we
have a few uther things to attend to just
now, aud will only give him a soothing
lotion at present and avail ourselves of his
kind proposition in helping us out of our
present trouble. Do you think, Mr.
"Bill," that you can persuade friend Dave
to stop any and all communication be?
tween .yourself und the young man that
went with me to see the Doctor until after
I have beurd from you again ? if ao you
may call him at onco. We notice, too,
that you would make the imprea&ion that
I am regarded as a holy terror among the
fairer sex. Now, I want the world to
know that I can marry any lady I please,
(but just between you and I, Mr. Editor,
I have never yet succeeded in pleasing
one), but, of course, you will justify your?
self with an instance that occurred with
me recently, when I called on a lady and
had the pleasure of choosing between
I staying there by myself or go borne. I
I notice, Mr. "Bill," that you are still la?
boring under a great mistake?that I am
trying to scare you. Let me assure you
again tbat that is not my intention, but if
it becomes necessary (though I don't
think it will)?well, just ask the boys
how they scared the little fellow at the
spring while on their way from the Union
Meeting. When I was a little boy, and
while out playing one day, I found a
pretty shell, red and yellow spotted, an
odd thing, heavy and shut up all around.
My brother told me it was a terrapin, and,
to prove it, put a coal of fire on its baok
when, behold! it stretched out four horri?
ble legs, a tail and such a wicked looking
head that I ran screaming to mother, be?
lieving I had seen the Devil. I felt just
so while reading friend ''Bill's" of
last issue. I am not trying to scare
you, but you put off the m>"V last week
?that Is put feet and bead oul jf the shell.
So have I, and I mean to have my run on
the turf before you send me to Columbia.
Now, don't be sulky, my friend. That
would be bad form, even in a well-bred
servant. I will not try to defend myself
against your charges, for it seems to me
that there is nothing in the code of our
best circles to prevent you from saying
what you please to a man, especially when
that man is Y. T. F.
A Mr. "Job," of the Cars well Institute,
don't seem to entertain a very exalted
opinion of the mental acquirements of one
of the writers at this place. It is about
seven weeks since tbat article appeared
that he complains of, and since that time
he has been saving his braiu with a view
of manufacturing an ink-slinger for the
writer '-W." of this place, but somehow
the brains got addled before they were
used, but be got them in all the same, and
the owner never knew but what he bad
become the possessor of the combined
wisdom of bis generation, but it was a
harmless hallucination and served to
amuse the boys. "W." admits that he is
a little short on brain?, but that it was
not bis fault, for no one consulted him as
to what quantity he should have. "Job"
says ' I have been longing and waiting to
hear from "W.," of Barnes. I am very
glad to inform him him tbat his name is
nut John; that. "W." is subject to making
mistakes and gives one a cause to believe
he Is the one who carries the "shot gun,"
and concludes with, "I am under the im?
pression that you are not the only one that
arms himself with a shot gun." Now,
Mr. "Job," did It never occur to you that
the mistake might have been with the
type and not *'W?" or did yon spend sev?
eral weeks ascertaining tbat fact before
making your complaint ? Have you proof
for the other charge you make to " W.,"
viz., subject to mistakes. "W." is under
the impression that you have been wait?
ing and longing, not for the appearance of
him, but for the facts you learned at the
Union Meeting recently. The next Union
Meeting will be held at this place in July,
after which "W." shall expect to hear
from "Job" more explicitly.

-~ Snake stories are always in order,
but this one from Kentucky beats them
all. Kentucky is a good State in which
to see snakes because of the proximity
and abundance of the antidote. The story
foes tbat George Simras, who lives in
owell county, has a black snake that
money would not buy. He caught it
over a year ago and took it to tho house
for a pet. He taught it several tricks,
one of which was to bring a note in its
mouth to him from the house to any
part of the farm. Several days ago one
of his little children was taken suddenly
sick, and the snake, seeing something
was wrong, struck out on its own accord
for Air. Simms, and by its movements
induced him to hasten to the house. The
truth of this is vouched for by many who
have seen the snake.
? The doath of Joseph Hamilton at
Benton, Iowa, on Monday, rid the world
of a peculiar monstor. He had spent 17
years of his life in chains, to restrain him
from gratifying his homicidal nature.
When Hamilton was about 25 years old
he witnessed, It Is said, a sparring matoh,
during which one of the pugilists struck
the other a blow on the nose tbat brought
the blood. The sight of It, during the ex?
citement, drove Hamilton wild. Drawing
a knife, he plunged It into the heart of a
Sstander and drank the blood as It flow
from the wound. Before he could be
arrested he killed a second man and suok
ed his blood. Ever since he ha? been a
manlao. thirsting for gore,
? Nearly four yoars ago Deacon Elisha
Pratt, of New Providence, N. J., died
after eating a hearty dinner, and his
widow has placed a strange memorial ot
tbe event in tbe parlor. Under a large
glass case is an enormous silver platter.
On this platter, arranged in regular
order, are portions of meat, vegetables,
watermelon, cucumber, ice cream, pie,
etc., molded in wax. They represent as
nearly as possible tbe exact quantity of
each of these articles that the deacon ate
the evening before he died. They stand
on the platter in just tbe order tbat tho
real articles were consumed by Mr. Pratt.
Scattered through the solids aro goblets
full of wax, colored to represent the
cider the deacon imbibed during tho
same dinner. Each wax imitation is
perfect, and looks as though it were a
real piece of meat or portion of fruit.
The quantity represented is enormous.
On top of the glass case is a little arch
made of solid silver. Above the arch is
a silver figure of an angl blowing a tru in
pet. Suspended from tbe center of tho
arch is a tiny tablet of white marble, on
which, in deep black letters, are engraved
the following words: "This Is What the
Deacon Died Of."
? Thero was received at tho enstom
house yesterday, says the Chicago Times,
a machine which, it is claimed, will do
away with that useful adjunct to every
well regulated farm, the farm hand who
milks the cows. The apparatus was im -
ported from Glasgow. Scotland. This
machine, it is claimed, will milk thirty
cows in one hour, and do it so easily and
neatly that the cows will scarcely know
it. The machine is constructed, on tbe
vacuum principle, and when adjusted
to the cow the milk flows in a continuous
stream, and the machine does tbe work
without assistance. The apparatus re?
ceived yesterday is said to be the first
one ever brought to this country, and its
use will be in the nature of an experi?
ment at first. The contrivance is largely
used in Scotland, and its practicability
has been long ago demonstrated. The
greatest objection to the machine by
farmers will probably be its price. The
one imported yesterday Is valued at ?55
in Scotland, but the duties paid upon
it added $45, making the total cost 9100.
The appraisers had considerable difficul?
ty in finding a duty which would apply,
no machine of the kind having ever been
received at this point.
? In one respect at least Quito, the
capital of Ecuador, is the most unique

pheres, a distinction claimed by no oth?

Quito the sun rises and sets at 6 o'clock
the year round. You may forget to
wind, your watch while you are visiting
the Ecuadorian capital, but you need
not hunt up a regulator?set it when the
sun rises or sets and you will be sure to
be right Old Sol makes no mistakes..
In one part of the city the summer sea
son does battle with old winter, who is
just across the street. Tbe seasons, as
far as names are concerned, obange almost
instantly; but, as the temperature is re?
markably even, these curious points are
seldom thought of or commented on by
the people who make Quito their home.
? For fifteen minutes fish rained on
the farms north of Janesville, Wis., re?
cently. When the rain storm with which
they came ended the ground was covered
with them. There were thousands, and
the cattle tracks, pools, wagon ruts and
wherever water could settle were alive
with them. They were all the common
