Columbia, S. C, Nov. 25th, 1895. The Constitutional Convention of South Carolina is rast drawing to a close. Most of the important work has been com? pleted, and now the finishing touches are being put on the new organic law of the State. The general scope of the new Constitution is thought to be much more ambitious than was anticipated. The idea seemed to be tbat the old Constitu? tion would be taken and amended only in such places where amendments was thought necessary, but Instead of doing that the committees have reported prac? tically new sections and almost anew Constitution has been built. This is especially the case in the article oncor [ poratious. The past week has been an exceedingly busy one in the' Convention. At the first of the week the unrest over the profracted session grew, and it became apparent that if the old style of long debate continued that the work would be almost interminable. In the course of | [ the debate on how to get through with the work Senator Till man struck upon the idea of appointing a ?"steering com? mittee," and since that committee has been allowed full sway a wide swath has been out in the work. At the outset some of those who wanted to argue points I did not like the bridle being put on their speeches, and others insisted that a . "steering committee" should be the very [ last thing to find its way into a Constitu? tional Convention, but the majority of ] the members wanted to get home juat as soon as possible, so the "steering com? mittee" was sustained, and after a final and vigorous protest in the journal the "steers" were given full sway and have mapped out the work so that the mem? bers may be able to get through with all save the ratification next Tuesday. The members have been working hard to co-operate, and no matter how early or j how late the committee suggests for work the delegates respond. A vast deal of work has been covered in the last week. The articles on Finance and Taxation, Education, Legislative Department, and Judicial Department are the only ones that have not been finally agreed upon. All of the other I articles have been sent to the committee on order, style and revision. There are I a few scattering ordinances that have not been finished, including one for the exemption irom certain provisions for Seebrook County. During the past week the Convention finished its work on the second reading of the articles on I the Judiciary, Bill of Rights, Finance and Taxation and the Legislative department in addition to a number of smaller mat? ters. . Members, and others have been worried about what was to become of t he Legislative session that was scheduled to meet here on the day the Convention Is ezpectsd to finish its work. The Con? vention has settled the matter, as best it could, by passing an ordinance postpon? ing tb.9 session of the Legislature to the middle of January 'and incorporating such a provision in the Constitution. After a right royal battle the Conven? tion left it discretionary with theLegis 1 tare whether or not to continue the sup? port of any of the five State Colleges. The committee recommended mandatory support bat the Convention changed it to read "may." It is likely that the Con? vention will be asked on the final read? ing of the section to make the support of | the Colleges mandatory and limit the amount of the general school fund to go to the support of the Colleges., The idea is tbat the public schools will have a good 'snppor; from the plan as now adopted. There is to be first of all a three mill tax and a $1 poll, and this is to be supple? mented, by the profits from the Dispen? sary accruing to the State, and in case these do not make up the $3 per child that is provided for in the Constitution, then' there is to be a general State levy . Which is known as the. supplemental tax. The article on the Judicial department Is thought to be quite strong and seems to be generally satisfactory. Its main features of difference from the present law are: Four Supreme Court Justices are provided for, who are-to be elected | for eight year terms. Power is given the General' Assembly to create County Courts in such Counties as want it and so indicate in a general election. In consti? tutional or other important questions the Supreme Court can call the members of the Circuit Court to alt with them, and In that way have a decision from a Court of eleven members, thereby adding force to the expression of the Court. Municipal and inferior Courts are authorized to sen? tence to the chain gang. Judges are ex? pressly prohibited from charging on the facts of a case. The effort to nave the Judges elected by the people had consid? erable support but felled on the second reading. Time and time again was the effort made to provide for divorces in this State, and in the event of no general divorce law, some would have been satis? fied with a divorce law by which the divorces of other States would have been recognized in this State. It took a pathetic letter, which Senator Till man read, to touch the heart of the Convention and secure the adoption of a provision recognizing divorces granted in another Stale, where the marriage was contracted outride of the State. A provision was adopted which will hereafter prohibit Judjres from sending persons to the Penitentiary in contempt proceedings.. The homestead article now stands with a provision by which the homestead, when once claimed, cannot be mortgaged or waived so as to defeat the exemption in lands, when set aside. The Convention has undertaken to settle the lynching habit as best .it could. In futures Sheriff who permits a pris? oner to be lynched is to be removed from office on a true bill being tound, and the County is to be liable for $2,000 damages to the representatives of the party lynch? ed. The article on corporations forbade the surrender by contract of the common law liability in shipping goods, bot the arti? cle was so amended as to permit freights to be Bhipped under what is known as the "released class." The members voted themselves $4 per day, for the time after the l?th of Octo? ber. The aggregate expenses of the Convention wll be between ?50,000 and ?{i0,000. Three members of the Convention have died since the body has been in session. They are Messrs. Byrd. Hodges and Sprott, who died during the past week. The intention is to get through with the work of the Convention so as to go to Atlanta Wednesday. A. K. The Beginning of the EM. Elwood, Ind., Nov. 20.?In an inter j view concerning the adventist belief re? garding the present Turkish troubles and their relations to prophecy, Elder W. H. Ebert, of FranktoD, Ind , one of the lead? ing exponents of that belief, said: "We Seventh Day Adventists believe the present Turkish crisis foreshadows the end of the world, the destruction of its kingdoms and the second coming of Jesus Christ." Greenville's Bloody Record. Gbekkville, S. C, Nov. 25.?The fifth homicide in this county in the last three weeks occurred 12 miles above here last night. Jesse Edwards, aged aboot 20 years, shot Rube Nix, who was about the same age, in the stomach, and Clarence Nix, aged 17, in the right arm, using a revolver. Rube Nix died this afternoon. The shooting occurred at 10 o'clock in a public road, where Clarence Nix and Edwards had gone to fight out a difficul? ty. Rube was present to see fair play and was holding Edwards' pistol. The fight was declared off and Nix handed back the pistol to Edwards who imme? diately began to shoot" The men belonged to old county fami? lies of intelligent and prosperous farmers and bad been brought up within three miles of each other.?Special to CoU State. Three Men Burned to Death. Winston, N. C, Nov. 22.?Particulars of a shocking affair which occurred a few nights ago In the mountain section of Stokes County were bronght here this morning. Thomas Mabe was running a brandy distillery, and when he went to examine a caldron of 140 gallons it com? menced boiling over, ran down and took fire as quiok as powder and caught the still. The cap was blown off and the building was soon filled with flamea. The owner was standing near the still, where bis two sons lay asleep on the door. The burning liquid ran over the two boys. The father and his sons made a rush for the door, but it was locked, and by the time they succeeded in open? ing it the three men were burned so badly that they will die. The house and its contents, including several hogsheads of fruit wore burned, Horrible Crime at Hodges. Greenwood, S. C, Nov. 23.?Ramon were rife this afternoon anent a most atrocious crime. Upon authoritative representations your correspondent gath? ered the following facts: A young woman, Miss Bagwell, about 25 years old, attend? ed a funeral, after which her purpose was to catch a train for Atlanta, her desire be? ing to attend the exposition. She had sent her trunk to Hodges depot by a negro wagoner. Meantime she started to walk to the station. Miss Bagwell, the name of the unfortu? nate, accepted the courtesies of-Jack? son to the funeral, having Bent her trunk by a common carrier to Hodges depot. During the interim this woman was murdered (and possibly outraged) by one of two fiends, who will be dealt with later Later?The most reliable news \.' .'i regard to this affair is that a young white woman who wanted to attend the Atlanta exposition was endeavoring to get to the railroad station, sending her trunk ahead, was murdered. One negro who was in the plot, took the trunk to Hodges and tried to check it to Florida, but the agent would not check unless he had a ticket. Meantime the other negro mutilated the body, cutting off the legs and arms and placing the remains in an outhonae filled with fodder to which fire was set. Phy? sicians have examined the charred corpse and pronounce it that of a female. Two negroes have been apprehended and will posisibly pay a death penalty tonight. Lairge crowds are gathering in the neigh? borhood of Hodges, near Abbeville court house. another account. Hodges, S. C, Nov. 23.?About four miles from town an old outbuilding on the plantation of W. P. Shirley was burn? ed this morning at 2 o'clock. The build? ing was for a time occupied by negroes, but at the time of the bnruing was used for storing several hundred bundles of fodder. When the fire died down, a hu? man body was discovered in the debris, with the head, legs and arms burned off. Dr. C. W. Carson of Hodges was sent for to examine the body and after a careful examination, came to the conclusion that the body was that of a woman. No one lived in the house, as is stated above, and it cannot bei doubted tbat the woman was murdered. Later develop? ments show tbat John Mitchell and Wash Ware know something of the tragedy, for such it is, and the victim is without donbt Narcissa Bagwell, a young white woman. Ware has made a statement in which he declares that Mitchell did the killing, placed the body in the old honae and ap? plied the torch to destroy the evidence of his hellish deed. The unfortunate woman had 830 on her person when last Been by her friendB, and Ware says Mitchell killed her for this. Trial Justice J. C. Moore, acting coro? ner, .with a jury of inquest are taking testimony, and are expected to arrive at a verdict soon. landed safe in jail. Hodges, Nov. 23.?Several squads talked of lynching Mitchell and Ware but no effort was put forth. They are landed safely in the Abbeville jail and no trouble is expected.?Special to Col. State. Killed by his Wife. G adsdex, Ala., Nov. 21.?News reach? ed here this evening of a tragedy which occurred near Centre, a few miles above here. W. H. Walker was shot and instantly killed by his wife last night at about 7 o'clock. He bad been in the habit of getting drunk and going home to abuse and curse his wife and two chil? dren. When he was on these sprees he was very violent, and oftentimes his wife bad to flee from home to save her life. Yesterday evening he went home lna drunken condition and proceeded to fol? low ont his usual programme of abuse and cruelty. He was unusually bolster cus and after cursing his wife in a most terrible manner, he told her that he intended to kill her and one of the chil? dren. As usual she pleaded with him to spare, at least, the life of her child. Her prayer only maddened him and he made such threatening demonstrations that she left, home and started for the home of her sis? ter, a short distance away. Walker fol? lowed, still cursing and threatening to take his wife's life. When the woman left home, she went prepared for the worst, for she took with her a pistol. As she reached the door of her sister's resi? dence, she turned and saw her murder? ous husband enter the gate with a look as if he intended to carry out his threat Worked into a fury by the past insults and injury the man had heaped upon her, and driven to the extreme by his present attitude, Bhe raised the pistol and fired. Walker was dead instantly at her feet. No arrest has been made. They were both about fifty years old and have three married and two single children. Horrible Accident. I Last Tuesday evening, while with a party on a fishing expedition out on Beaverdam creek, Messrs. Hnghes Mc? Ewen and Jim Roberts were seriously and probably fatally injured by the ex? plosion of a dynamite cartridge. Nooody saw how the accident happened, the first any one knowing of it was when their attraction was attracted by the ex? plosion of the cartridge. They then saw the two men fall apart to the ground. They were taken to the home of the Misses Caritbersat Goss, a station fonr miles above Elberton on the E. A. L. R, R.. and Drs. Matthews and Johnson, ol Elberton, and Dr. Gaines, of Dewy Rose, despatched for. Both of Mr. Roberts' eyes were put out, and his face and body badly mutila? ted and both hands blown completely off. Mr. McE wen's right hand was blown off and hie right eye blown out. His face was also terribly torn and bruised. The physicians were with the Buffering patients all Tuesday night and amputa? ting both of Mr. Roberts' hands and the thumb and three front fingers on Mr. MoEwen's, attentively watched every symptom.. Wednesday morning they were both alive, and while they were ap? parently doing well, the physicians are fearful of the result?Elberton {Go.,) Star, 2l8t inst. Sucked in by the Southern. Greenwood, S. C, Nov. 20.?The Port Royal & Western Carolina system of rail? roads was sold here to-day under order of the United States Court, by Major Theo. G. Barker, special master. The proceedings were very simple and businesslike but were watched with silent and intense interest by a number of Greenwood people who had never be? fore seen an auction sale running up into the millions of dollars. Major Barker was on the platform at the depot at noon and proceeded to read the published order of Bale, which was the longest part of the entire process. He then called for bids for the Augusta & Rnoxville road. Nobody seemed to desire this property, and the Port Royal & Western Carolina outfit was then offered. There were no bids. Then the entire property of both was put on the block. John W. Hutch? inson, Jr., announced that he would give 82,650,000 for it. He was called on for a certified oheck to make his bid good and Sromptly produced and banded it up. 'obody bettered his bid even by a dollar. Therefore, after a due and legal amount of crying the property was knocked down. Mr. Hutchinson bid it in for Samuel Thomas aud Thomas F. Ryan, of New York, which being translated means the Southern Railway Company.?Special to Greenville Hews. Europe Is Eating Horse. Europe has taken to eating its horses for the same reason that it took to eating potatoes, against which it had a great prej udice a hundred years ago?it is bound to do it or go short of flesh food. Gradually the European press is edu? cating the popular mind out of its preju? dice on this matter, The taste of roast horse-flesh is very similar to that of roast beef. The fat is much more palatable than tbat of pork. If a horse has been fed on oats, his sirloin, while cooking, f;i ves off an odor similar to that of a goose n the same process. It is to the further credit of the horse-flesh that it is never made dangerous by trichinosis and tu bereu los is, which very often infect cat? tle, but hardly ever attack horses. Oh, no; the future of the horse is not at all doubtful. He is not going to disappear from the earth. There is plenty of room for him at the race track, for general {ileasure purposes, and as a spoiled dari? ng of Bociety ; and as for the plain horse, there will be plenty of room for him by and by at the dinner table.?Neio York Recorder. ? The San Francisco board of health is reported to have organized a war against the sale of horse meat. We never have understood the feeling against the horse as an article of diet He is far cleaner than the hog whose carcass we all consume with so much avidity, and, for that matter, is more of a gentleman in his diet than the chicken. The bicycle and the horseless carriage are making the horse a back number as a method of transportation and before very long we will have no use for him at all axcept to race and eat him,?Greenville News, Fay th? Preachers. Mr. Editor : I fear when many read the above line they will pass it by unno? ticed, but let me beg that all will read and consider it well. Said a gentleman to me the other day: "I'm out hunting money for the preacher." "Well," I said, "God speed you to great success." The past Sabbath was a bleak, chilly, rainy November day; yet the Rev. W. B. Gordon, who lives several miles out, filled bis appointment in the morning,and in the afternoon the Rev. Mr. Brabbam came in the rain to fill his. And the thought occurred to me, as the preachers are thus going to and fro in the rain and cold, "how many lay people are sitting around warm, comfortable firesides?" I think the first debt we pay is due the ?reach er, for the laborer is worthy of bis ire, and certainly none more than the preachers. How few seem to think that when we are in trouble and distress, and lose our loved ones, the first thiDg we want is our pastor, and when the matri? monial knot has to be tied, again the first thing is the preacher. So let everyone pause and think, what a holy necessity the preacher really is. I know there are times when people are prevented from attending church by sickness, or various other causes, but the preacher is most always there, through thick and thin, and you can always find some time or other to give or send the preacher his dues. Pay the preacher?' though the heavens fall." He has to live, and think ye, bow! I heard not long ago that a pastor bad resigned. 1 asked why. And the reply was: Couldn't collect his salary, had nothing to buy bread with. So if another pastor should come be, too, might be forced to resign for the same reason. Therefore, why call a pastor unless you will pay him ! Think of the wear and tear, not only upon the good man himself, bnton bis horse, his buggy, bis spirit! Think of his wife and little ones, all depending on that Bmall prom? ised salary 1 I believe if this is read with the kind spirit that has prompted it the Ereachers are going to bo paid better. i6t'B hope so, if no more. Pay the preaohers what you promised them!? Edgefleld Chronicle. Big Battle in Cuba. New York, Nov. 25.?A Cuban mes? senger who arrived at the quarters of the Cuban Junta in this city late this after? noon direct from the seat of the revolu? tion reported that on November 14 one of the largest battles fought since the begin? ning of the present trouble took place. The news has been withheld striotly, not even ?1 Heraldo, a Madrid newspaper, being allowed to sent it out. The battle occurred at Saguascowa, a town in the interior of Cuba. The Span? ish forces engaged consisted of 10,000 men, while the Cubans had but about 4,000. The Spaniards were led by Gens. Vales, Luque and Aldave, and Gen. Maximo Gomez led the Cubans. The Cubans had a most favorable position at the foot of a bill. For thirty-six hours the opposing forces fought, but the Spaniards were unable to drive the Cubans back. The latter, however, could do no more than hold their own. Finally, just ata critical moment, Gen. Antonio Maceo, of the Cuban army, oame rushing in with a force of 3,500 men. With the aid of this reinforcement the Spaniards were quickly routed. The Cubans then advanced towards Trinidad and Clenfoegos. Gen. Aldave is reported to have been killed in the battle, and the total number of killed and wounded is placed at GOO. Gen Gomez secured 700 rifles and a large amount of ammunition. This is believed to be the biggest battle of the revolution, larger than that of Ba yamo, several months ago, In which Gen. Compos was wounded Southern Farm Lands. The Southern States Magazine talks to Northern farmers in the following point? ed and bnsinesB-like way: "Is not an acre of land in the South that will produce in a year more revenue than an acre in Iowa. Ohio and New York worth intrinsically as much ? And yet, while land in the last named and other Northern States is held at $30 to $100 an acre, land in the South, capable of yield? ing more money in a year, can be bad for form $2 to $10 an acre. The price is low because there are millions of acres more than the present population can cultivate. As the population increases through im? migration prices will rise. Prices are now much higher than formerly in some localities. Can the Northern farmer af? ford to go on cultivating high priced land that will never increase in value, when for a tenth to a forth of the value of his farm be could get another in the South on which be could make more money and live in more eomfort and which would be getting more valuable every year?" The South is attracting a good class of im migrants and a steady rise in real estate is an absolute certainty, . The Northerners who come here now and invest in eity and town lots aud (arming lands will make more money in a few years by the natu? ral increase in values than they can hope to make in their own section. This Inducement alone, to say nothing of the other advantages, should draw millions of Bettlers to this part of the country. A Heroic Woman. Shamokin, Pa., Nov. 20.?The heroic fight made by a woman not only saved her own life, but the lives of her three children, when assailed last night by ber maniac husband. Crazed by illness, Enoch Zaben arose from bed, seized a knife and fought wildly to out his wife's throat and then destroy the little ones who were asleep in an adjoining room. Today Zaben was declared to be insane, and was taken to the State asylum at Danville. During the night Mrs. Zaben was awakened from sleep, and was astonished to see her husband, who had been ill from grip, bound up the stops to her bedroom. Seeing bis wild condition she sought ref? uge behind the bed. He sprang upon her and tried to slash her neck with the knife, but she warded off the blow with her arm. Then clasping bim tightly she tried to disarm the maniac. A hard struggle ensued. Finding he could not kill her, Zaben slipped from his wife's grasp and rushed in to kill the children, who were sleeping in an adjoining room. Before he had time to make one thrust his brave wife again threw hersQlf upon him. The children's shrieks attracted the neighbors, who appeared in time to prevent an awful tragedy, as Mrs. Zaben had been exhausted from her heroic bat? tle. Zaben was tied with ropes and this morning taken to the asylum. A. Living Souvenir of the Exposition. Columbus, Ga., Nov. 23.?Mrs. Geor? gia Hammond, who returned home yes? terday morning from a visit to the Ex? position, brought back with her a band some baby girl with which she had been presented in the union depot in Atlanta by an unknown mother. Mrs. Hammond was sitting in the wait? ing room of the depot when a woman, clad in black and closely veiled, entered, carrying the baby in her arms. She asked Mrs. Hammond to hold the little one for a fe -v minutes which she readily consented to do. The woman never re? appeared and search failed to find her. Mrs. Hammond brought the little girl home with her ana will care for her. The child is about a year and a half old and has been named Atlanta. Murdered by Women. Winxsboro. S. C, Nov. 25.?Rumor reached town today that a negro woman named Patsie Jackson bad been brutally murdered in the Flint Hill section. The facts as far as could be gathered, are these: On Saturday, Patsie was working in her field, when three other negro wo? men came up and got into a quarrel with her. Two of them, it is alleged, held Patsie, while the third cut her in several placs with a razor. These facts were gathered from the father of the dead wo? man. Your reporter could not ascertain tbe names of the assailants. No arrests have been made up to this time, but search is being made for the parties.? Special to Col. State. Au Elephant in Hampton. Hampton, S. 0., Nov. 21.?An elephant of the largest type has appeared in these Sarts. It passed through this place Tues ay night, and disturbed the slumbers of several of the most prominent citizens by its cries. It then proceeded to "Varnvllle, two miles below here, where it disturbed several citizens and then went further on toward Almeda, but between the two places attacked a party of opossum hunters and tbey fled. Tbe noise which it made was enough for them. When it reached Almeda it was shot some thirty odd times by tbe employees of the South? ern Land and Lumber company. They used all the ammunition tbey had and could do no more. It knocked a man down at that place with its trunk and g >t awav and proceeded southward.?Special to Col. State. ?

San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 24.?Under tho caption "A Japanese Invasion," the Daily Report last evening published a story calculated to startle American man? ufacturers. Japan is about to invade the United States with the agents of her factories, ?whose ability to produce articles of ne? cessity more cheaply than the rest of the world can no longer be ignored. Japan at last recognizes its power, its ambition has been aroused, and it 1b now inaugu? rating an irresistible commercial cam? paign. This new and aggressive invasion com? menced a few weeks ago, when tbe agents of a powerful manufacturing and com? mission house, whose headquarters are in Kobe and Hiago, arrived in this city and offered such inducements to San Fran? cisco merchants that they were compelled to place large orders with the new com? mercial giant. A canvass of tbe San Francisco mercantile trade reveals the fact that an unprecedented cut in almost every line of staple goods has been made by tbe Oriental bidder. Buttons by the gross are delivered, duty free, at a frac? tion less than the actual cost per gross of the American article. Bicycles, guaran? teed equal to the best high grade, are listed at $12. Japanese matches are to be laid down at a price which is destined to close every match factory in the United States. Sashes, doors, blinds and all kinds of wooden ware can be delivered, duty paid, at 30 to 50 per cent less than tbe wholesale prices of local manufact? urers. After placing hugeoidersin this city, tbe agent left here for the East, where agencies will be established in New York, Chicago, St. Louis and elsewhere for the purpose of underselling American and European manufacturers as fast as possi? ble. _ _ The Winter Truck Crop. Anyone who visits the depots of tbe Plant system and the Atlantio Coast Line will notice the enormous amountof truck produce which is bandied there. Most of it comes from Florida. The farmers there are making up in a measure what has been lost on the orange crop by the freeze of last winter. Large quantities of Flori? da truck are being sent North every day and tbe products are findings ready mar? ket. Charleston, as well as other sec? tions, has a finger In the pie, agreatmany crates of beans being shipped from right around the city. Florida, however, has been shipping beans, peas, cucumbers, and some lew tomatoes. They are coming from all sec? tions of the State and the Southern Ex? press Company, fast freight and steam? ship lines are carrying many orates of them through Charleston daily. The Florida crops were planted so as to ma? ture about December 1, or shortly before that date, so the shipments are becoming heavier every day. The truck is all in good condition and commands excellent prices. This is the first time that such large shipments of truck have been made at this season since 1889, and the faot that they are made now is attributable largely to the failure of the orange crop. The Charleston truckers as well as the Flori dians have had good returns and they will doubtless try the experiment again. ?News and Courier. Henry is a Quitter. When he was in Atlanta the other day Mr. Watterson said: "I am out of the knock-down and drag-out politics which factionalism and favoritism and selfish personal ambition have projected upon tbe country. I have never bad any stomach for the concrete things of politi? cal life. I regard office as a kind of bribery. As long as it seemed that moral forces and organized ideas were objective points, I was ready to do my part. Bnt great policies have yielded to petty wrangles. After my lecture season is over I am going abroad with my family for a year. Perhaps, when tbe inevitable result of the prevailing overflow of rant and fustian has been reaobed, the Demo? cratic party may begin to put two and two together with tbe aim of making four. As it is, if one of tbe prophets should rise from tbe dead he con Id not restore order to this chaos. We have in fact no Democratic party at all?merely an agglomeration of quiddities thrown together by the upheaval of the times?a monster without a head, running wild throngh a wilderness of political incerti? tude."? A tlanta Journal. The Legend of the Breeches. Who will wear tbe breeches, the bus band or tbe wife ? That is the grave problem which is presented and re-pre? sented in many households. The man naturally wants to preserve this attribute of virility, but tbe woman, forgetting the vows that she made at the altar, frequent? ly endeavors to capture this problem of authority in the home. The Btruggle is sometime long and bitter, and the ardor of the combatants is easily understood when one thinks of tbe precious prize that 1b to be handed over to the victor. To be master or servant, that is the ques? tion. Tbe Singular metaphor, always used in the plural sense, is to be found in all languages, and it goes back to the thir? teenth century, when Hugues de Plau cele wrote tbe queer legend, "Sire Hain et Dame Aniense." . Sire Hain was a tailor, and was the most patient of men. Unfortunately for him, his wife was capricious and afflicted with an ungovernable temper. At last the tailor got out of patience. "To-morrow morning," be Bald, I will throw my breeches down into the yard and then we will go down stairs, and whichever one of us succeeds i j recover? ing them first will be the boss of the house." Dame Anieuse accepted the challenge with delight, and invited her neighbor Simon and her friend, Mrs. Aupais, to be the judges of tbe combat At tbe appointed time the combatants appeared in the yard, and the struggle for the breeches began. It was along battle, and the description of it given by the poet occupies no less than 180 verses. Dame Anieuse came very near capturing the prize, but in the strogggle ehe tum? bled Into a big basket and got fastened in it, with her feet in the air. She cried for assistance, but the husband took advan? tage of her unexpected position and put on the breeches, or, rather, what remain? ed of them, for the precious garment had suffered considerably in the melee. The judges declared that the wife was conquered; but she was not willing to yield until they threatened to leave her in ber unenviable position. Ever afterwards she was an obedient wife.?New York Sun. ? H. S. Fitzgerald, aged forty-seven, of Harrisburg, Pa, gave an exhibition Wednesday night before tbe students of tbe Columbia medical college, Washing? ton city, of his powers as a "lax ligamen tarian." He can dislocate at will any joint in bis body from his little toe to bis spinal column, and has absolute control over every muscle. He has been exhib? iting before medical colleges for about twenty-seven years, and during the winter months has a permanent engage? ment with the Bellevue medical college of New York, and also appears at tbe Yanderbilt clinics. Muscles that physi? cians bav ehitherto been unable to reach he brought into plain view and action. Ligaments so deep in the flesh that they could only be reached with a carving knife were brought into action apparently just under the skin. ? Things are mixed in Chicago, as far as population is concerned, says the Buf? falo Commercial. Leaving out tbe nation? alities moBt numerously represented, we learn that in Chicago there are 40,000 Russian Jews all of whom have arrived within tbe last fifteen years; 40,000 Scotch, 35,000 Danes, 30,000 each German, Jews, Italians and negroes; 20,000 each of French, Canadians and Dutch; 8,000 to 10,000 each of French and Welsh; 0,000 Swiss, 5,000 AuBtrians and Hungarians, 3,000 Belgians, 2,000 Greeks, 1,500 Chinese, 1,000 Spanish and 3 000 of other nationalities. ? The manager of a big dry goods store is authority for the statement that there is one woman in Now York who buys for herself and her daughters $50,000 worth of drosses and dress goods every year from bis firm. The account is set? tled by her husband every six months, and he never grumbles. The books of the house carry as many as forty accounts of women in that city averaging ?10,000 each. ? The Carolina Constitutional Conven? tion is opposed to the public believing they are cheap men. Accordingly they increased their per diem from ?2 to $4. Some of them are still cheap at this price, and as is the case in all assemblies, some are dear at any price.?Augusta Chronicle. ? The oldest building in tbe world that has been uninterruptedly used for church purposes is St. Martin's Cathedral at Canterbury, England. The building was originally erected for a church, and has been regularly used as a place for relig? ious gatherings for more than 1,500 years. ? The Seventh Day Adventists in Michigan, the chief centre of the sect, are proposing to discard the present names of the days of the week because of their heathen origin. They will designate them by number, as is done in the Bible, except that they will, of course, call Sat ur Jay the Sabbath. sua* The Hotel Chiquola. Mr. H. C. Middleton, of the AugUBta Chronicle, who spent two days in Ander? son the first of last week, in an article in tbat paper urging the citizens of Augusta to build a fine hotel in tbat eity, speaks of the Hotel Chiquola as follows: ''Very apropos of this subject is what I have been long wishing for an opportunity to do?to pay a deserved tribute to the brave and far seeing people of Anderson in the construction of their beautiful hotel, the "Chiquola " Anderson is a little city of five thousand inhabitant?, yet they have in a great public spirited manner built a hotel whiob, in compaiison to population, is as far ahead of Augusta in the hotel line as Baltimore is of Augusta in population. It is an eye opener to the stranger and puts Anderson away up in his estimation This hotel cost 865,000. Let's see?at tbat rate Augusta would have to spend a half mil? lion in a hotel to equal the work of the little city of Anderson. This hotel is one of the best investments Anderson has ever made- Travellers go many miles to stop here. The fame of the hotel is known throughout South Carolina and Anderson baa become one of the "Convention towns" of South Carolina. The hotpl was built by a stock company composed of the business men of Anderson in 1890. It is tall?four stories in height ?built of brick and stone. The ceilings are tall and heavy with beautiful wood work, in oil fininb The grand portecbere and main entrance is supported by light, lofty columns of Teunessee marble. The house is elegautly furnished, with heavy carpets and rng?, and much of the finest leather covered and upholstered furniture. Th? dining tonn is finer than tbat of the Arlington though about half as large The hotel has fifty rooms, every one open? ing "upon Ihn outside" Electric lights and electric hells with hot and cold batbs are throughout the house. The interior design and errangement are most charm? ing The people of Anderson also see tbat the hotel is conducted year after year in a manner to fully comport with the style originally planned. Augusta may take a lesson from Ander? son. If Augusta should build a hotel to be proportionate to the hotel the business men of Anderson have built, sizes of the two towns considered, Augusta would have to spend at least half a million dollars on the hotel she proposes.
