It was announced yesterday that, owi?g to the failure of the plan to have a joint parade of Union and Con federate veterans in this city on July 4, the sixth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be held at Richmond, Va., June 30 and July 1 and 2, as originally proposed. The occasion is to be made of more than usual interest, as on July 2 the corner-stone of the Jefferson Davis Monument will be laid with imposing ceremonies. It is expected that more than 20,000 Confederate veterans will attend the reunion, and every effort will be made by residents of Richmond to make it the most memorable event of the kind that has happened since the war. Information concerning the reunion was received by Col. A. G. Dickinson, Commander of the Confederate Vete ran Camp of New York, from Peyton Wise, chairman of the National Com mittee, which is arranging for the event in Richmond. The circular is sued by Chairman Wise is dated Rich mond, Va., March 25, and is as fol lows : To the United Confederate Veterans everywhere : Your sixth annual re union will be held at Richmond, Va., on the 30th. of June and 1st and 2d days of July next. Widely scattered since the war by the ties of family and old-time fire sides, by the demands of business, by your natural energies, and by the ne cessities of life, you are coming home ?home to the city which is yours by the supreme tests of the rain of fire through which you went and of the sea of blcod through which you pass ed oc the mission of her and the com mon defense. You have been no prodigal sons, for you inherited only the remnants of a rapacious ravage that was rampant everywhere in your land, because you had nothing left but the manhood from which you were inseparable. But the fatted calf shall be killed for you, and we shall be merry together, not because of pity for your sins, but because pride in your fame demands. You shall traverse again the streets which thrilled to the tread of your legions while they were passing to the ranks of the best army that the world ever knew. You shall be comforted by the Vir ginians who were the comrades of your immortal glory and who are your brothers forever. You sbdl see again the women who nursed you back to vigor from the feebleness of wounds and want, from the wretched woe of your losses, and who pointed the dying gaze of your fellows to the heaven which stooped to enfold them. Your eyes shall behold for them selves the city which proudly wrapped herself in your patriotic flames, from which she has emerged a thing of beauty and a joy for always. You shall revisit the battlefields which have been consecrated by your blood, and where, if you lost your country, you found a fame that fills the world. Heartily helped by our city and her citizens, we are building for you a place of reunion in which 10,000 of you may make the welkin ring to the music of "Dixie" and to the chorus of the rebel yell. On some appropriate day of the re union you shall be part and parcel of the rearing of that monument which shall be to Jefferson Davis not merely because he was your President, and dwelt as such in the capital of your Confederacy, but because he was the unspeakable type of that ineffable manhood which made the armies of the South. During your stay here there will be many a bivouac where, not in bravado or disloyalty, but for sweet memory sake, will be sung over again the old songs, told over again the old tales, fought over the old fights, yelled again the old yell, and raised again the old flag. Come, then. Come to our hearts and homes, to these bivouacs. Before we pass to the great beyond we ought to have one more bout and toast to gether. The toast shall be to our own memories and to our Confederate com rades wherever they may be, but it shall carry along with it a brave bless ing, for our fellow citizens everywhere, a determined devotion to the safety, honor, and welfare of the entire coun try. Peyton Wise, Chairman. Special railroad rates have been r-?cured for veteran organizations wish ing to attend the reunion, and space will be reserved in Richmond for camps. The Jefferson Davis Monument will cost nearly $400,000, and will be one of the handsomest in the country. Warned of His Child's Death. Pabkebsbubg, W. Va., March 27. ?The following is from the last issue of the Monroe Watchman, published at Union, W. Va : "The death of little Omie, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marion C. Ballard, occurred at their home, near Lind side, this county, a few days ago, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Ballard declares that he was warned of the death of his little daughter in a very peculiar manner. At a late hour on the night before she died he was sitting, be says, in the room where she lay. His wife and the rest of the household were asleep, and he alone was awake. Suddenly the door opened and two great white hands appeared and beck oned his little daughter, who was lying on the bed. He got up and closed the door. Presently it opened again and a second time the beckoning hands appeared. He then opened the door and went out in to the hall and from thence out of doors, but could see or hear nothing more. "When his wife awoke he told her that it was useless to hope for their little girl's recovery, as he he had been warned that she must die. At exactly the same hour the next night the little one's death occurred. Mn Ballard is not of the nervous or su .perstitious sort, and is evidently con vinced that this vision actually ap peared to him." Getting Even. Cincinnati, April 5.?Several prom inent women of this city have decided upon a plan of ''getting even" for the passing of the Fosdick anti-high hat bill. One of them said : "We will avenge ourselves by introducing a bill in the Ohio Legislature by which the men will be subjected to as big a snub as the women were. The bill will be drawn in a few days with the same provisions and fines to be inflicted upon theatre-goers and managers as provided for in the Fosdick bill for each person found leaving his seat during an intermission at the theatre or found spitting tobacco juice on the { floor. I don't know that it will pass, but, neverthelessjit will be introduced." ? In the United States there are over 37,000 female telegraph Opera tors. Only 1000 Barrels. The State board of control, after a long and tedious session lasting the whole of yesterday, adjourned last night, Messrs, Allen and Nicholson having left yester day afternoon for their respective homes. The adjournment of the board caused the disperoiou of about a score of whiskey drummers who have been in the city in. the imprests of their respective concerns for about a week past, and some of them, having received no contracts for whis keys and brandies, left rather depressed in spirits, yet hopeful of falling in the swim later on. Yesterday it was learned from a mem ber of " e board that about 1,000 barrels of whlF.;ey were purchased from different houses after deliberations and discussions of many hours' time caused by a lack of knowledge of the art of purchasing t his 8ortofgood8. This quantity of whiskey will be only sufficient to supply the dif ferent dispensaries throughout the State until the next meeting, which will take place iu a month's time, when more will be bought. Messrs. Williams and Douthit will re main iu the city for several daya to take account of the stock now on hand at the dispennary and they hope to accomplish the work by next Wednesday. After completing their work tbey will make their report to Chairman Jones. The board have adopted a system of rules and regulations for the benefit of iiapensers and say they intend to rigidly enforce them and that any violation will be punished by the removal of the of fender. At the next meeting the board will ap point new county boards of control, as the old boards cannot sorve under the provisions of the new law unlesB specially appointed to do so. It is likely that there will be no change unless proofs of incom petency are shown against those now acting in this capacity. The board also adopted rules for the government of employees of the dispen sary which, it is Haid, will be enforced from the highest to the lowest man in the building. At the May meeting the board will dis cuss the matter of prices at which whis keys are Bold at the county dispensaries. The board devoted some talk to the granting of privileges to tourist hotels and others, but no definite action was taken, the matter being continued until the next meeting in May, when investi gation will be made into the operation of these privileges, owing to the fact that various charges of abuse have been entered against the holders of them. The board say they found no great objection to allowing parties to sell intoxicants under certain conditions, but tbey are strongly "opposed to any violations and are heartily in favor of severely punishing them by taking away the right to sell, for they intend to tolerate no trifling and wish to warn fairly in advance. Chairman Jones in conversation with a representative of the State last night said that the board did not wish nor intend to run the dispensary for profits only, but to furnish the people good stuff and no inferior liquor unless called for by the purchaser. He said the dispensary would work under the strictest rules and be held accountable for every thlngconnected with their share of the businesss. A whiskey drummer who didn't get any of the pie given out by the board said yesterday that there was more money iu selling to the dispensary than to retail dealers, as the buyers in this State know little about the business which had been assigned to their care in this respect and that it was a comparatively easy matter to ,,do" them. It will be remembered that the dispen sary authorities bad some trouble with the Lanahen whiskey people onoe. and it seems queer that the board should have given them an order for goods. This matter caused a good deal of talk yester day among those acquainted with the facts in the case. The drummers who have been in the city to watch for orders from the board seemed somewhat disgruntled beoause tbey were not allowed admittance into the meetings of the board, but a member last night said that it bad been found necessary to deny them this privilege owing to the fact that it would inconven ience and delay them in their work of organization.? Cohcmbia State, March 4. Ion May Try it if you Wish. IEvery little while there turns up a scheme to make money without working for it. Wit always lives better and in more luxury than brawn and muscle; "the people," as Pbineas T. Barnum used to say, "love to be humbugged," and the game goes on. Among the various and many schemes that have sprung into existence for the catching of the wary dollar since the civil war no small number have been gigantic projects to recover in value money, goods, property, heaUL, reputation, credit, etc., lost during that struggle. The poor ne groes, who were deluded with the idea that when they were liberated they would receive "forty acres and a mule," have not been the only ones bamboozled. Numbers of times there have been "great schemes" to recover from the Government the value of the slaves. One of these latter sohemes has just broken out afresh, and the Southern country is being flooded with oiroular let ters (printed to represent typewriter work) setting forth in flowery phrases that the 'time is approaching when the United States will compensate the South for the $300,000.000 worth of property taken from it by the proclamation of emancipation. "History shows," it says, "that no civilized nation has ever emanci pated her slaves and failed to compensate their owners. Therefore, he is no Eotopian dreaner who now looks forward to the time when this great Government will do justice to her citizens. We believe this will bean established fact within the lives of most of the present generation. We are now on the eve of a mighty politltical strugg.a, the outcome of which will bo determined largely by the pace set by public opinion." The last sentence quoted is absolutely senseless, but is given to show the high flown language of the circular. It is evi dently intended to impress the receivers with its great importance. The circular goes on to say that an au thentic record of slaves owned and recog nized as property before the proclamation of emancipation is necessary, and that they, the promoters of this new game, "have devised a system of registration whereby any former owner, or the heirs of any former owner of slaves, can have them registered in approved books of re cord, and their sworn returns of said slaves preserved for inture reference." Then comes the real meat of the ban quet?for this registration they demand a "small" fee, from ?1 to ?5, according to thenumber of slaves tobe registered. In the concluding paragraphs the circular (facetiously?) says: "A word to the wise is sufficient," and surely it should be. They might have added as a contrasting proverb, "A fool and his money are soon parted ;" send on your ones and fives. The circular is signed by the "corpora tion," and gives neither references nor a Washington address, although it purports to bave its "principal office" there. There is a sub-office address in a Southern city, but not a name on the whole sheet. Ac companying the circular is a blank cer tificate upon which ex-slaveowners (who have money to throw at the birds) will fill out. awear to, and send to the self-ap pointed registrars?together with the necessary cash?and get therefor "an official receipt." As there is no especial legislation in prospect for the payment of the 9800,000,000; as the new "company", doesn't even intimate that they are going to try to get the pay for the slaves, and as Uncle Sam would in all probabidty re quire something more than a bare state ment before paying out the fund, if there is ever such a fund voted, the ex-slave owners, who send their money aa request ed, will in all probability be out just that amount, plus postage, stationery and time.?News and Courier. ? The effect of the hydraulic motor, which is now being used for the purpose of removSng masses of earth, well-nigh passes belief. A stream of water issuing from a pipe six inches in diameter, with a fall behind it of 375 feet, will carry away a solid rock weighing a ton or more to a distance of 50 or 100 feet. The velocity of the stream is terrific and the column of water projected is bo solid that if a crowbar or other heavy object be thrust against it the impinging object will be hurled a considerable distance.

The Board of Visitors of the South Carolina Military Academy met yester day in the Hotel Jerome. Evory mem ber except one was present. The appro priation for the Academy this year is smaller than it has been for years past, and the object ot yesterday's meeting was to devise means of running the Academy on the reduced appropriation made by the General Assembly for the education and maintenance of the sixty-eight bene ficiaries of that institution. In the last annual report of the Board of Visitors to the General Assembly, by an itemized statement of expenses, it was shown that the cost of educationg and maintaining the beneficiary cadets required an annual appropriation of $20,000, or about 8295 to to the cadet. Tbe appropriation for the current term is $18,000. or about $285 to tbe cadet. Tbe difference in tbe appro priation for the beneficiary cadets is about $30 to the cadet. Now, the pay cadets pay $300 per annum for their education at the Academy, and it has been tbe boast of tbe friends of tbe institution that the poor boys sent there as beneficiaries by tbe State received just exactly as good fare and education in every particular as tbe pay cadets. Tbe action of tbe Legislature in reducing tbe appropriation for tbe beneficiary cadets has made it necessary for tbe Board either to make a difference between the treatment of them and the pay cadets, or else require them to sup Eloment tbe appropriation made for them y tbe 8tate with a contribution from tb sir private funds. After a full discus sion of the situation, and in view of tbe fact that every economy has been prac ticed short of impairing the efficiency of the school and doing injustice to tbe pay cadets, who pay lor all they get and whose parents demand the high grade of education and maintenance for which thoy pay, the Board felt forced to adopt the expedient of requiring the beneficiary cadets to contribute $30 of tbe amount heretofore allowed on his personal ac count. In other words, the education and maintenance will be of exactly tbe same quality as it is now at a cost of $205 per man, and as tbe appropriation for the beneficiary cadet is only $265 per man, thoy will have to get $30 from their rela tives or friends, either in cash to buy clothes from the quartermaster's stores, or else in clothes sent from borne. The institution has hitherto furnished every thing required b7 beneficiary cadets while in the institution" and must curtail the supply of underwear, linen, uniforms, etc., by $30 worth, which these cadets must furnish for themselves. The Board ot Visitors greatly regret the necessity for this step, but could find no way to avoid it. They hope that next year the Legislature will restore the appropriation to the old figures, so that tbey can again give the beneficiary cadets just exactly what the pay cadets obtain and without any cost to them.?Columbia Register. ?

In reply will say that I am jry much pleased with the policy I ?old ith the Mutual Benefit, and I know of o other policy issued bv any other com my for whioh I would exchange mine ith you.

C, Oct. 1, 1895. Mr. M. M Mat'.ison, Mgr. Mutual Ben flt Life Insurance Co., Anderson, S. C? >ear8ir: Replying to your favor of re ant datu, asking my estimate of tbe value f a policy contract in tbe Mntual Benefit jife Insurance Co., of Newark, N. J., I ;ould say that my attention was called to be advantage s of owning a policy in this Company about seven years ago by a riend of mine who was receiving 22 per ent dividend annually on a new policy, jhen I was only petting about 10 per cent ?n aiy policy of $3000 in tbe Equitable Afe and about 11 per cent on my $2000 jolicy in the New Yo-\ Life. His con ract and minu in these Companies being iboul; tbesamo age. I gave up these poli den in the Equitable and New York Life ind took out two policies of $'000 each in he Mutual Benefit Life and the smallest lividend the]' bave paid me was 20 per sent. I carry $5COO besides this in other Companies, but I regard tbe advantages )ffered by tbe Mutual Benefit superior to iny contract I. bave ever examined, espe 3ially the guaranteed face value, the 30 per cent loan plan, tbe reputation for economical management, tbe liberal ex tension features and the large dividends tbey have credited me with for the past six years. I would not h?sitate to recom mend it to any one desiring reliable life insurance for -.he smallest cash outlay. Sincerely yours, A. C. JONES. "dentistry.
