This is the largest : amount wer presented for redemption in : a single day. The average amount of mutilated money received during the four days immediately preceding was " ?745,000, whict. also was unprecedented. The Sub-Treaiiury officials attribute this rush to the f?ct that during the panic people took io hoarding money. Old bills so secreted did not come out until _ the Christmas holidays, . when, after passing through the hands of the store? keepers, they reached the banks all at about the oaiae time. It takes at least ten days under the most favorable cir . cumstiuacesfo.? the Sub-Treasury to pay the banks tho amounts due them for worn-out bftlsi. The enforced economy of the last two ... years has caused a change in Southern farm methods and the credit system is being superseded by a cash basis. The low price of cotton for the last few years forced open farmers the necessity of raising their own food stnffs, and added to this was tt e decision of bankers and factors to advance much less money on . cotton than formerly. The result has been a change that for the time being, while p&sttinj?. from the credit system, ?with its literal buying, to a cash system, / requiring the closest economy, there bas ' been less trade with farmers, and hence \ ? decreased volume of general business 'in the South. But this has brought - / about a more solid condition of the busl ness in farm trade throughout the South than we have had for many years. Mer .V chants are carrying small stocks and k buving only as needed. Farmers are . paying off their debts and are less in t^idebfe than for years. The money that ' formerly wen t.

B. Williams, editor of the Greenville News, is now in Washington. Gov. Till man, John Gary Evans and a number of other "reform" leaders are also there, and"it is supposed they went there to have a conference with Mr. Irby and Mr. Shell. In the News of y esterday the following telegram is printed from Editor Williams: Bo tli sides of reform factions seem to be in high spirits to-day. Senator Irby told me to night that he and Governor Till man had three or four hours interviow and that they understood each other entirely and will work together to pre? vent the Democratic party from going into the control of the Third Party lead? ers ; on other hand, some of the Bowden and Ellerbe representatives said this morning that they had a thorough under? standing with Governor Tili man and that be would* bring Irby into line. If the Senators statement is correct, how? ever^ the process was reversed and Irby has brought Till man into line. The March Convention people, however, rather believe or affect to believe that they are strong enongh to run over Tin? man and Irby too if those two leaders refuse to swing in. They point with glee to apparent weakeningjof Represen? tative Lattmer in his devotion to Irby, as indicated by his card printed a day or two ago and say all the leaders must come into the new movement or take back seats. Senator Irby is very emphatic- in his declaration thai; the new movement is an attempt to carry the Democratic party into the Third Party and says he mill fight it just as he would fight the effort to put avowed Republicans at the head of the Democratic party organization. Another Open Letter, Washington, D. C, Jan. 16.?The following reply bas been made by Sena? tor Irby to a communication received by him to-day from Hon. W. T. C. Bates, State treasurer of South Carolina: "United States Senate, '?Washington, D. C, Jan. 16th, '9* "Hon. W. T. C. Batos, Colombia, S. C.: "My Dear Sir?I have your letter of the 14th iuit., in which you make in? quiries as to what I think could be done in reference to holding a factional con? vention of the reform party of South Carolina, to which I answer hastily but frankly. "I regret as deeply as you to see divis? ion in the reform movement of our State. The purposes for which it began have not been accomplished, and can not be, without the exercise of harmony, justice, common sense and fair dealing. I have I had but one purpose .from the very beginning and that was to do my duty by it to the very best or my ability. Notwithstanding this, I have been perse? cuted by men supposed to be prominent in the reform movement, from the very beginning, until I made up my mind that I would not submit to it any longer and appealed to true men among us to protect me against such political assassi? nation. It is not my fault that we have these evidences of division in our State. I furnished no excuse for every reformer who goes into Columbia from the rural districts, to the State House, to be taken to one side and groomed and prejudiced against "Irby'.* 'management of the party," when even the anti's themselves acknowledge, that my conduct as chair? man bas been perfectly fair. "I am unwilling that a Third Party leader take charge of the reform move? ment in South Carolina and thus dictate the nominees .of the Democratic party. I am satisfied that the people of the Stato will not submit to it, and the sooner he and others, who expect to reap office under him, find this out the better for him and the movement. "I answer you frankly as to what I think ought to bo done so far as I can ?ee. There are six or seven other can d dates for guberr a'-ori; 1 honors. There men have been true and loyal and are all able men. They are entitled, at least, to a fair contest and the protection of the principles of the first March Convention, the most prominent of which was the right of the people to name their candi? date instead of a ring in the Stats House. It will be necessary, before the campaign that is to be-.ordered by me, els Demo? cratic-chairman, that these contests shall be settled within the lines of our faction and that'after the people have had time to weigh and measure them and conclude as to their choice, tho successful one snail be given the colors of cur faction to meet tho Conservative -faction on the stump before the general primary elec? tion. This can not be done with an early convention held and snap judgment taken before the people have seen or beard the various candidates who seek the endorse? ment of the reform party, tt savors too much of the old ring rule and Haskellite method and our people will not counte? nance it.? This is perfectly fair and all parties will be satisfied; but the peoplo who believe in the theory and system of primary elections will norstand for two or three men, one a leader of the third 1 and the self constituted spokesmen of the reform party, the other a traitor to the reform party who seeks, as an emissary from the enemy to ruin the reform party, and other men who desire offlco, to fix up a slate now, have it endorsed by a convention as early as March and rammed down their throats. I Bay this because, if their scheme is allowed to go through under tho whip and spur of the ring the movement can not stand. Self respecting* men would rather go to the wall than to serve under a traitor to his movement and to see themselves assassi? nated in the dark by men who have claimed to be their friends and the peo? ple robbed of the benetits of the vital principles of the first March platform. "This has been written to you iust as I think it and believe it. I have tried to be true to every man in the State House and subjected myself to abuse and criti? cism in 1892 for leaving my seat in tha Senate to go to South Carolina to work for them and their re-election. I do not intend now to be abused by them. As you suggest I, being the State chair? man, have no right to call a factional convention. I have never assumed or contemplated any such action nor could such a conclusion be drawn from any? thing that I have said or written. The organization, last presided over by the Hon. G. W. Shell, is deiunct because, when the crisis came in '92 we failed to have seen or heard of any action from him in behalf of the reform movement and besides, its purpose was fulfilled as a political organization as soon as its object was accomplished, the control of the whole State government by the people. It being a temporary organization, could not exist longer than the inauguration of the State officers. He, therefore, can not call and convene a caucus or convention and the only way for it to be done regu? larly .within our party lines is, as sug? gested by the Laurons Alliance. Request Governor Tillman to call aronnd him the leaders, draft rules and call a convention if they see fit. "In conclusion, allow me to say that I will do more ana go further to heal the breach and unite our forces than perhaps any man who has been treated as harshly in the house of my friends,, but I will not submit to the dictates of Third Party leaders and traitors to our movement, let the consequences to be what they may. "Very respectfully, J. L. M. Irby." A Picnic for tue Lawyers, Greenville, S. C, Jan. 18.?Acurions will came to light to-day by the death of Elizabeth Waters, near Itiedville, Spar tanbnrg County. James and Anthony Wakefield, two old bachelor brothers, started a town which they wanted namea Wakefield, but it was called Itiedville. They determined to kill tho town, and at their death left all their large estate to their niece. Mrs. Waters, for her life, and at her death the property goes to the clerk of Court of Spartanburg County and his successors, to be held in trust for one hundred years. At tho expiration of that period it is to be divided among the nearest relatives. To-day Mrs. Waters died and under tho will the clerk of Court will tako pos? session. It is stipulated that only so much of the land snail be worked during tbe hundred years as will produce a sufficient amount to pay the taxes, Tbe land completely surrounds Itoidville, cutting it off from the entire world, and is valued at one hundred thousand dol? lars, which may not be half the actual j value. It is supposed tbnt the lawyers will have a picnic in the litigation which I will be opened.?New3 and Courier: ? The longest continuous cataleptic sleep known to medical ssience was re- I ported from Germany in the Spring of 1892; the patient?a Salesian miner having remained absolutely unconscious for a period of four and a half months. Tbe doctors in attendance could not re? port anything in the way of symptoms which would suggest that there was something out of the ordinary in tho man's slumbers, excepting a complete rigidity of the limbs. One peculiarity which was mnch commented upon was that tbe hair grew naturally during tho whole of the extended nap, but Ids t>eard remained perfect';/- stationary and lifeless. Beform Bosses in Conus* !. Washington*, January ?.?Governor Tillman arrived here this morning, and instead of becoming the guest of Senator Irby ho was met at tho depot by Kepro rentative Latimer, and is now the latter's guoMt. Last night Senator Irby said he know that Governor Tillman would no? tify him by telegraph of his expected coming, and upon Iiis arrival hero would I become his (the Senator's) guest at the National Hotel. At the same time Rep? resentative McLaurin had made arrange? ments to entertain the Governor at his residence in West Washington. Without announcing his corning to either Senator Irby or Mr. McLaurin, tho Governor telegraphed Representative Latimer tho time of his expected arrival, and the lat? ter was at the station to greet him and takehimlto his homo in East Washing;on for breakfast. Before the Governor went to the Capitol he talked over the situation with Rapre seniative Latimer, and in that way got tho lay of the land before encountering tho other South Carolina "Reformers" at the Capitol. In accopting Congressman Lntimor's hospitality in preference to that of either Senator Irby or Representative McLau? rin ho played foxy. He has absolute confidence in tho discretion of Mr. Lati? mer, and besides the latter occupies a somewhat neutral attitude in the Irby Shell controversy. He is friendly to both parties and refuses to bo drawn into the personal contention between these two gOJtldcnen. As a further mark of confi? de nee the Governor entrusted his bill in re.'ation to receivers for railroads to Mr. Latimer, and the latter will present it to Congress. Upon reaching the Capitol the Govern? or was given a hearty reception by some of the Democratic members in tho House of Representatives in addition to the members of tho South Carolina delega? tion. After spending some time in the House, the Governor, with Representa? tives Latimer, Talbert and Strait, pro? ceeded to Senator Irby's committee room, in the basement of tho Senate wing. There an in formal conference was held. No definite result was reached, but it is understood the Governor played safely from afar back. He was not disposod to take sides in the ,controversy between Senator Irby and Cftpt. Shell, but did all he could to pour as much oil on the trou? bled waters as be could without violating his dispensary law. It is understood that he considers it unwise, in view of tbe existing circumstances, for either Senator Irby or Capt. Shell to issue the oall for the Gonvention. He reiterated his well known views on the subject of the primary system, and suggested that tbe {cople of the "Reform!' Movement be sl? owed to doal with the matter in their own way. If an early Convention is de? sirable the people in tho "Reform" Movement can make that fact known. If they want a later Convention,'whon it will be more convenient for the farmers to attend such a Convention, their wishes should be paramount. Without reaohing any conclusion there seemed to be a disposition to leave the calling of tho Convention to the execu? tive committeo of the original Alliance or "Reform" party. It may be that a conference of the representative "Reform? ers" in the various counties will be call? ed to decide the question of selecting the time for holding the Convention. It is said that Senator Irby fears that an effort may be made to turn the State or? ganization over to the Third Party men, who, he claims, are insignificant in num? bers. He insists that the Democratic Reform element in tbe State shall retain the control of the organization, and be does not propose to relinquish bis right as chairman of the State Democracy to exorcise tne authority that properly'be longs to his position. There was a general interchange of views, and tho consensus of opinion was that it might huri the cause of "Reform" if the Governor and his iriends should assemble iu Washington and proceed to map out apian for absent members of the Reform party at home.?Special to News and Courier. Tho South in the Saddle. In the Chattanooga Tradesman there has been recently an interesting discus? sion by Mr. D. A. Tompkins of the capa? bilities of the Southern people as manu? facturers, and the fact is brought out that the south has within a few yeani accom? plished feats declared by New England? ers to be impracticable. It has been said that the Southern people lack enterprise and cannot on that account become a manufacturing people. m This contention Mr. Tompkins meets by showing that the South in the early part of this century led tbe Eastern and Middle States in manufacturing. The' multiplication of slaves and their effi? ciency in tho production of very profita? ble crops of cotton, rice/.nd sugar at that iime withdrew Southern capital from manufacturing enterprises, but tbe read? iness with which such enterprises reap? peared and multiplied during the civil war showed that the capacity for manu? facturing was not lacking. After the civil war, till about 1877, political and civil turmoil?caused by the partisan "reconstruction" policy?disturbed labor conditions and .arrested effort. The years from 18(35 to 1877 were requited to replace also the capital destroyed by tbe war and its results. But since the latter date every sortof enterprse, agricultural, manufacturing and educational, has made astonishing progress. In the last twehty years the cotton pro? duct, for example, has grown from 3, 930,000 bales to 9,035,000 bales. Agricul? ture has been diversified. Grains, vege? tables, fro its. melons, oranges?these are a few of tbe great additions. A vast cot? ton seed oil interest has boon created. The iron, coal, phosphate and lumber in? dustries have been developed. As for the cotton mill trade, it is shown to have devoloped more rapidly in the South since 1877 than in any other part oi the world, and with unvarying success. Now England writers used to say that the cli? mate of tbe cotton States was unsuited to the manufacture of cotton, particularly tbe finer grades of goods. Experience has exploded all that. "Our Southern plants,-'" it Is stated, "are as fine, as well adapted to the work intended for them as any in tbe world. An English cotton mill expert, sent to I this country by the' Oldhaui Spinners' Association ten years ago to inspect and report on American cotton mill plants, stated in his official capacity that the great Eagle and Phoenix Mill at Colum? bus, Ga., was the best mill of its class built anywhere up to that date. Since then long strides in improved machin? ery, etc., have been taken by Southern cotton manufacturers, until to-day* Virginia,'North Carolina, South Caro? lina and Georgia can show several mills that will stand comparison in perfection of structure, machinery and product with the best in New or Old England. The finer grades of goods are now made in increased variety, and la?-ge quantities of all grades are shipped to the North? west, to tbe Pacific States, to South America and to China. Tbe climate con? ditions of Fall Rive: are found tobe equalled, if not excelled, at many points on the coast from Norfolk to Galveston. Want of capital, not want of enterprise, has been the drawback to Southern man? ufacturing since the close of the re? construction period in '77. -BaltimoreSun. Love Coo'd Wait. Chicago, Jan. 14.?Wi?Ham Gilbert and Martha McBride-Brrritt, of Elgin, ID., were married in tue Great Northern Hotel here Saturday. The br'de brought to her husband the comfortable sum of $500,000 in real and personal property. Mr. Gilbert was a news-dealer at Elgin. Two years ago he was engaged to Miss McBride. Among his customers was Poter Burriit, soventy year3 old, and one of the wealthiest men in Northern Illi? nois. Burritt met the fair Miss McBrido at the nows-dea!er'8 and fell in love. One day Miss McBride rushed into Gilbert's store with indignation visible in every line of ber countenance. "That horrid old man," she exclaimed. "He vranis me to marry him." "Who?" 8sked Gilbert, calmly. "Why, that old mau, that friend of yours?Mr. Burritt." "And what if he does? He's got a right to marry if ho wants to." "But, William, you're the mau I want; I want to marry you." "That's all right, too," said Gilbert after a moment's thought. "I am anx? ious to marry you, but we've both of ue out-grown the nonsonso of youth and there's plenty of time. Burritt, my dear, is worth ?500,000 and is seventy years old, feeble and" JuBt a month from that day?for despite bis years the old man was an ardent wooer?the papers aunounced the wed? ding of Peter Burritt to Martha MoBride. The newly wedded pair at onoe started for California. They returned to Elgin seldom, but to their friends there came word of the wife's devotion to her aged husband. Tho good folk gossipped for a while over the jilting of Gilbert, but he con? tinued to prosper in his business and did not seem to worry over his desertion. The aged bridegroom lived but a few months. Now the formor Mis3 MoBride bas both her lover and Burritt's money. ? A court in Holland has decided that it is not an offenWfor a mini to kiss a stra ti go lady on the street, because a kiss shows alfociiou or sympathy. Wlijr Try a J)f;id Issue. Columbia, S. C, Jau. 21.?By far the most important question that is to como up at tho present session of the Supreme Court is tho dispensary law. Of course no ono knows what tho decision of tho Court will bo, and as thb question is one of such general interest, tho course of tho case is ail the more closely watched. It has from time to lime been suggested that tho Supremo Court would, as in the Chester case, avoid a final decision on iho merits of the law. Why these sug? gestions aro made no ono seems to know, especially as everyone seems to bo anxi? ous to got an absolute declsiou oneway or anotuor. From time to time reasons havo been givon why the Court would not decide upon the direct issuo. Ono lawyer has one view and another has another way of looking at tho same question. If you make a canvass of Law Range and ask a dozen lawyers what they think will be the result of the cases now pending, a variety of opinions will be expressed. Some of them-wiil say that tho cases to be brought before the Court are upon the old law, and that since the new law has been passed there is no occasion for the Court to decide the question in issue, as they have in themain been completely changed by the new statute. For in? stance, the Darlington case, it is held, ia chiefly ou the question of the appoint? ment "of a dispenser. Now that the whole modus operandi of gel ling a dispenser has been changed, some take the utili? tarian view that It would bo no use for the Court to waste time in the considera? tion of that point. So in the Columbia cases, where Judge Hudson quashed the indictments, one out-of-town lawyer suggested the idea that the offence and whole mode of prosecution bad bepn changed, and that there was no use to kill time on this question. And so it goes, and there is much talk about inter? locutory motions about which the lay mau understands very little. In a word the situation is summed up in this way. The Court can, if it wants to, decide the constitutionality of the law, or it can decide the pending cases without touch? ing upon the constitutionality of the law. The nearer the time comes to the hearing the more interesting the situation grown. I haye asked Attorney General Bu? chanan about the matter, and he would say absolutely nothing about it, only that he had every confidence that the Supreme Court would do all that was proper, and that he was not worrying himself in any way about what the Court would or would not consider. He is bard at work on the cases, and is doing himself credit in his work and his inten? tion to do all of the business of the office with the force of the department. There will be quite an array of lawyers in the case, and they will no doubt try and get all they can out of it. Unas been suggested that until the passage of the new dispensary law the friends of the bill were very much afraid that the clause which prohibited liquor ? from' being brought into the State would not hold in the Courts. The authorities are, however, very much better pleased now and say that tho new section on that question will stand in any Court. It is said that in all of the cases decided by the United States Court the Wilson law when applied by any State bas bean sus? tained, and that the South Carolina Legis? lature has not only adopted the wording of the Wilson Act, but it' has improved upon it by using the word "introduction" in connection with the word "arrival." On the other hand the lawyers who are testing the law say that this is one of the first sections that "will be overthrown by the Court. "This is one of the times when it pays to go away from home to hear the news ?especially tho political news. It is pretty safe to say that some good news about State politics could be picked up in Washington, within the next week. The conditions could not be imagined to be more favorable. Representatives of the two recognized elements in the Reform party are now in Washington, and the presumption is that something will come out of the concentration of so many of the prominent Reformers in Washington at thin particular time. Whether Gover? nor Tillman will take ho.'d of the reins and ge t tho Reform cart in the middle of the road again remains to be seen. It may be diflioult to do. and if he does not succeed there is no one who can Accom? plish this task.?Newa and Courier. Their Stock in Tra le. The Newberry Observer of last week says: There are men who live on politics?to whom politics hi a business; just as much as farming is to some men, and merchant , dising to others. If cutoff from politics, and required to mako a living like ordinary men, they soon prove themselves failures. 1 o Skich men division, strife, bitterness are.otoe in trade. They know that their only hope for a fat job and an easy way of making a living is to keep tho people divided, and to play the part of champion of the stronger side. It is strange that their scheme -is not seen through by the people whoso cause tbey champion. Bo they ever champion the cause of the minority? Do they ever align themselves with the weak and few? If any side needs champions, it is the weaker; the majority can take care of itself. But, in spite of these facts, that ought to be apparent to every thinking mind, these champions continue to delude the people into the belief that but for them, hi some unaccountable and miraculous way, their "enemies," the weak minori? ty, would run over the majority. Do these champions ever champion any cause unselfishly ? Or do chey not inva? riably ask for some tat office as a re ward for their "services?" The reason these pseudo-patriots cham? pion the cause of the farmers, and use their evety eCori to keep the farmers ar? rayed against all other classes, is simply because the farmers constitute 7? per cent., instead of 30 per cent., of the voters of the State. If any other class had this proportion of voters, these champions would be found championingtheir cause, and persuading them that the other class? es are imposing on them. We call upon every intelligent citizen who roads this article to answer for him? self if the oflice-Beekers are not responsi? ble for the bad feeling that exists among the people of this State, and if the office seekers are not keeping up this feeling for their own profit. Tbe Industrial College. Superintendent of Education May field returned yesterday evening from Rock Hill, where he attended the meeting of the board of trustees of the Woman's In? dustrial College. The board re-elocted Messrs. T. A. Crawford and Joseph Roddoy, local trus? tees, tho former for four years and the lat? ter for two. Mr. Bruce, of the firm of Bruce & Morgan, tbe college architects, was pres? ent at the meeting. He was iustructed to draw plans for tho two three-story dormitory buildings, each to coutain 150 rooms. These structures will stand like recessed wings on either side of the main building, the architecture of which they will conform io. It was thought that the main building was already largo enough without adding on the dormitories. Then, too, the separation ot tho buildings reduces the danger from fi.-o to a mini? mum. Mr. D. A.

C, Jan. 18.?The State of South Carolina has now chargo of the Palmetto Brewing Company plant in Charleston and henceforth dispensary beer will be made there. Under the new law such companies are given thirty days to dispose of their manufactured products and get out of business; but for this deal, the Palmetto Company would, in a few days, have to ces.se operation. The State Board of Control to-day passed a resolu? tion to this effect. Governor Tillman says that the State will put its own man there to see that the business is properly managed and pure goods are niado aud all money padding throuirb his hands. The com piny will coutinuo in possession, under the supervision of the State authorities, and the stuff manufactured will be sold only to dispensaries. ? Heretofore information as to the precise date of the end of this planet has been unsatisfactory for lack of a scientific basis. This has now happily been sup? plied by a German astronomer, Rudolph Falb, who, in a speech atLeipsic recent? ly, announced that the comet of 18G6 would collide with tho earth on Novem? ber 13. 18U9, botweeu 2 and 5 o'clock a. rn. The result of the collision is to be such a display of shooting stars as will astonish the inhabitants of Mars and Ve? nus lor three days. Unfortunatoly, as we shall bo among tho pyrotechnics as constituents of the rockets aud Roman candles, we shall not be able to appre? ciate the spectacle as a whole. Howover, we have time for preparation. Fmallnox Here. Mortiliod because her friend failed to in? vite her to become one of a party of twelve ladies wliu gathered Monday to roceivo jointly tho Now Year calls of their friends, a young miss, lf> years of ago, daughter of a Wtst Sido phybician at Chicago, adopted a most effective method of revenge. All the parties are members of promi? nent West Side churches. A few weeks ago while discussing plans for the holi? days it wag mipgested that tho twelve meet at Miss R.'A house on Now Year Day and entertain their friends together. The suggestion wus adopted. As tho shades of night began to fall Monday carriago after carriago rolled up to the home of Miss R., and from each ono descended gaily attired New Year callers. But for some mysterious reas? on they alt entered their carriages again and drove away without even ringing the bell. fJThe evening passed rapidly away. ; The young ladies waited and wondered as they heard carraige after carriage roll 1 up, but no ono applied for admittance. The girls could not understand it. i Eleven o'clock arrived, and crying from j shoor mortification, they put on their wraps and prenarad to go home. Not a soul had calle4 to see them. In tho house adjoining Miss Grace was fairly beside herself with exultation. She bad her revenge. Early in the even? ing she carefully put upon the front door of her neighbor's bouse a card which bore the inscription ; "Smallpox here.'? Washington Star. Nineteen Hogs for Six Dollars. Memphis, Tknn., Jan. 15.?The ne? groes iu this section of the South, princi? pally those in Arkansas, have contracted I the emigration fever again, and there is Ian exodus of black men to Africa. A dispatch from Marianua, Ark., says that all the negroes fh that neighborhood are sacrificing what little property they have with the intention of going to the Dark Continent. One car load has passed through Brinkley en route for New York, whence thoy intend to sail for their ultimate destination. It seems that the scheme has been worked up by negro agents here, who have been canvassing the section for some time, for what pur? pose or in whoso intorest, is not known. Many of the negroes owned small places and several head of stock, and were, com? paratively speaking, iu good circumstan? ces, but have sacrificed all for a few dol? lars to pay their way to New York. A prominent planter purchased nineteen hogs from one of these would-be emi? grants for the small sum of ?6. Found a Half Million. Guadalajara, Mexico, San 10.?A few weeks ago a Spaniard named Fran? cisco Perez, arrived at the City of Amecp* this State, from Lisbon, Spain. He hau with him several old documents and drawings showing the location of a hid? den treasure amounting in value to $1, 500,000, which had been secreted a century or more ago by a band of brigands, all of whom were afterwards .killed or driven out of the country. Perez came across a document a few months ago and at once s"t out for Ameca to seek the wealth. He secured from the city authorities ex? clusive permission to acquire whatever he might find and has already, had suc? cess, an iron box filled with 'gold coin and jewelry having been unearthed near the foundation of an old cathedral, in the vicinity of which all of the wealth is b3 lieved to be hidden. The value of the contents of the box is placed at $500,000. Harried his Son's TTldoWt Little Rock, Ark., .Tan. 16.?Consid? erable comment was caused in this city whon it became,known that Col. Silas Field, a weil-kno'wn planter, was quietly married a day or two since, his bride being Mrs. Helen D. Field, the relict of his son, Arthur Field, who died in Cali? fornia in 1802. Logal talent was appealed to, and whon assured there was nothing in the law forbidding the tie the dean united them in short order. Col. Field is a man sixty years of age, while his bonny bride is a very prepos? sessing woman of tbirty-one. She is the mother of two or three children, and the question is beingasked. "What relation? ship will there be between their grand? father, themselves and any offspring that may result from this union?" ? Marshall county, Alabama, claims a hog with a halt human bead. The dime museums are bidding for it, but its own? er, a farmer, refuses to part with the great curiosity. ?*W. B. Gardner has a curiosity in the form of a fruit tree in his grove at Fort Meade, Fla. It bears oranges on one side and grape fruit on the other, each side having been budded differently. ? Near Birmingham, Ala., a man on retiring for the night- heard ft strange noise in his chimney, and discovered the legs of a man dangling therefrom. He lit a fire and scorched the fellow consid? erably before he released him. ? Mr. J. W. Armfield, of High Point, N. C, Bwallowed an oyster shell, while eating oysters, which was an inch square and sharp on both edges. Physicians succeeded at last in pumping the shell out of his throat. ? Near Cocoa, Fla., a man was awak? ened from his slumbers by a strange noise in his room. He arose, and was horrified to discover two large rattle? snakes coiled on the foot of the bed. He was not long in dispatching them. ? The five children besides baby Esther Cleveland who were born in the White House wore also girls. Ono of these girls, the grandchild of a President is now employed in one of tho depart? ments in Washington, euding.as she be? gan, her days under tho Government's roof-tree. ? A lady at Cannonville, N. C, found a snako in her stove nicely browned and toasted. It seems that the snake bad gone into winter quarters in a hollow stick of wood. The good lady in order to have her wood nice and dry to cook breakfast with put it in the stove tho night before. ? AtOviedo, Fla., Mrs. C. E. Brown spied a hawk making a dive for a chick? en, and she ran up to it, expecting to scare it away, but instead of accomplish? ing this the hawk showed fight and at? tacked the lady. She called to Mr. Far nell expecting to see it take flight at his approach, but to his surpriso the hawk at? tacked him also, and he had to pick up a stick and delare war himself, when he soon came off victorious, ? Some of the evils predicted when Stephenson was trying to introduce rail? roads were that cows would be prevented from grazing and hens from laying, while horses wouid be driven distracted. Some gentlemen in St. John's Berkeley, in the same spirit, objected to the building of the Northeastern Railroad because it would ruin the breed of horses in the parish if the young men could got to Charleston so Lauch quicker by rail. ? Two motions of the United Brethren Church at Alma, Kan., have long been at war. The other night one set put wheels under the church and started to carry it off bodily. The leaders of the other fac? tion rushed to the borne of the district Judge, secured an injunction, and, wak? ed up the Sheriff, and had it served at once. At the time the injunction was served the building was in the middle of the street and there it stands. ? A most remarkable electrical exper? iment has been successfully exhibited at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore. By means of a flexible rubber tube a diminutive electrio light was introduced into the stomach of a patient. The lights in the room being lowered, over 200 students viewed the workings of the patient's internal organs thiough the translucency the light created in the abdominal wall. ? A man in Elwood, Ind., bought a cabbage in a grocery store, for which he paid 20 cents Ho took it home and his wife proceeded to do it up into "cold slaw." Upon inserting the knife it struck something hard. The cabbage was divided and a 920 gold piece reveal? ed. Further dissection revealed three more twenties, a ten and a five, all in gold. The supposition is that some gar? dener bid his savings in the cabbage when it was youug, and then forgot the plant. ? A few days ago the Greenville News mentioned the caso of a citizen of Green? ville county who has sixteen living chil? dren by two wives. This record is eclipsed by that of Mr?*nd Mrs. Joseph Looper, living in Dao?sville, in Pickens county. Mr. Looper is 87 years old and his wife is 80. They ate tho parents of sixteen children, and have had 11G grand? children, and average of something over seven apiece, and 04 great grand chil? dren, a total of 22G direct descendants in three generations. Mr. and Mrs. Looper are in good health, active and sturdy and seem to be likely to see many more years and descendants.?Greenville News. OTICE FINAL SETTLEMENT.
