D. H. RUSSELL, Schoo} Com, A DESPERATE WOUND. The Scar of Battle Borne by Sen. Snow den Andrews a Wonderful One. Richmond Dispatch. One of the most noted men who will be here to participate in the Con federate Veterans' reunion is Gen. Snowden Andrews, of Baltimore, who has the reputation of having been the most desperately wounded man in the Confederate army to survive his in juries. Gen. Andrews, who is largely inter ested in the Westham Granite Com pany, of this city, was here last week and arranged for bis quarters during the reunion at the Westmoreland Club. A Dispatch man visited him at the club during his stay and spent a most pleasent hour with him. Gen. Andrews was shot three times, but the wound that rendered him some what of a celebrity was received at Cedar Run August 9, 1862, when by the explosion of a shell his entire stomach WE.S shot away and he was completely disembowelled. He was ordered to the rear, where, after aa examination: of his wound, thc sur geon stated that there was but one chance in hundred of his recovery. "All right," replied Gen. Andrews, who was still conscious, "I will take that one live," and he did. A very difficult and delicate surgical opera tion was performed upon him, and a large silver plate about 12 inches square was bound across his body where his stomach ought to have been to act as flesh and skin for him and to this day he has had to wear that plate. After a short while spent in the hospital, Gen. Andrews returned to the field and received another wound. He was subsequently detailed, at the suggestion of Gen. Gaugus, chief of ordnance, to go abroad and inspect the guns of other countries with a view to improving upon those in use by the Confederacy. In Germany Gen. An drews had quite an amusing experience The Germans were at that time en gaged in battle with the Danes, and Gen. AndrewB asked permission to go with the army and see their guns in actual service. His request was de clined, as the then King had previ ously issued an order that no such priv ilege should be accorded any foreign officer. Gen. Andrews became very indig nant over this, aa he considered the refusal a discourtesy to his Govern ment, and he therefore held himself aloof from the German officers. Final ly a colonel, Von Mertens by name, who was chief of artillery, called upon him, and in the course of conversa tion remarked that Gen. Andrews, who. by the way, was only a colonel then, was a very young man to bear that title. Gen. Andrews smiled, and the German colonel began cross-ques tioning him. "Did you ever see a pitched battle?" he queried. "Oh, yes," replied the General. "Indeed; how many?'.' asked Von Mertens, with incredulity in his tone "Oh, I? don't- know," replied the American; "about sixty or seventy, I should-judge." This was too much for the German and he rolled his eyes in amazement, but didn't give up. He came back at Gen. Andrews, asking if he had ever been wounded. "Three times," was the reply, "and I dare say that I bear the most des perate wound ever received by a man from which he recovered." The General then described the wound, whereupon Col. Von Mertens requested permission for his surgeon to examine it, showing, as Gen. An drews described it, that he believed he had stumbled on a veritable Mun chausen. After some little hesitation Gen. Andrews consented to submit to \he inspection, and the surgeon was pro duced. "Mine Golt in Himmell!" ejacula ted Von Mertens, when the wound was disclosed to him, "how I should like for Gen. Von Moltke to see that." He begged permission to bring Von Moltke to see the wound and finally obtained Gen. Andrews' consent for that also. Von Moltke came and saw, and as a result, he interceded with thc Red Prince ia Gen. Andrews' behalf, and he received forthwith permission to accompany the German army, and did go with Von Golkenstein's advance corps, wearing the badee of a non-com batant, which entitled him to pass all sentinels unmolested and unchal lenged. Gen. Andrews, since he received his wound, has grown very portly, but he still wears his silver plate and suffers no inconvenience therefrom. Strange to say, however, while the most im portant part of his anatomy is con structed of the white metal, he is an out-and-out sound-money Democrat, and is for the single gold standard first, last and all the time.-Richmond Dispatch. New Wonders of Electricity. The Electrical Review in its last issue announced by authority that Nikola Tesla had perfected his vacuum tube system of electric lighting without wires, the possibilities of which he first brought to publio notice about five years ago in a lecture before the American Institute of Electrical En gineers. This light is whiter, more brilliant, and more intense than the arc light, and is produced with a much smaller amount of electrical energy. A laboratory photograph has been made by means of this light with an exposure of only two seconds. The detail in the photograph is remarka bly fine. Tesla further states that his apparatus has been greatly simplified aud that he will soon have it ready for practical use. Working on different lines, Thomas A. Edison has, according to the Elec trical Review, succeeded in develop ing a new kind of electric lamp, or va cuum tube, by means of which ?be Roentgen X-rays are turned into pure, white light. Edison's new lamp is an ordinary Crooke's tube, coated on the interior surface with crystals of a new fluorescing substance, which he has discovered, similar to tungstate of cal cium. The X-rsys, in passing through this coating of oiystals, arc changed to light. Very little heat is generated, and nearly the whole of the electrical energy expended is transformed into ight. The new lamp is used in place of Crookes tube with the ordinary X-ray apparatus. Mr. Edison says that there are great possibilities in his dis covery, and he is now at work getting his apparatus into commercial form. He expects that before long he will so develop it that it may be used with high economy on an ordinary incan descent circuit. The Electrical Re view says editorially: "We cannot hssitate to express our positive conviction that the introduc tion of a more perfect illuminant is near at hand." - Lung diseases are iare among the employees in tobacco factories. - Allnut says that a single pair of pigs wjll increase to lli>,169 ip aix years. '" . - ' ' Strock br Lightning. The popular idea is tha' whon a person has been "struck by lightning." and falls senseless and remains in that condition for a considerable time, not moving or breathing, he is dead and nothing can be done for him. It is a wrong idea in many cases, and the person really dies for want of the proper treatment to restore animation. It is desirable that this fact should be generally known, so that the suf ferers may be saved in all possible cases. When the electrio current has been of sufficient volume to produce de structive tissue changes, all efforts at resuscitation will be futile, of course, but the condition should not be as sumed to exist, in the absence of ex port judgment. Itisalways reasonable to try to effect restoration in such circumstances. A paper published recently by the United States depart ment of agriculture describes the rature of the patient's condition when he has not been killed outright, and gives instructions for his treatment. The conditiou, it says, is "one of exaggerated faint," and "prompt stimulants are necessary." The first important requirement is that "the man must be made to breathe," if this be possible. The efforts to induce breathing must not be suspended until it is "fully and normally restored," or until it is absolutely certain that life is extinct. And it should be most carefully noted and borne in mind always that this fact "can not be assured in less than an hour's per sistent, energetic, tireless effort." The attempt to resuscitate a person stricken by lightning, in short, should be made as patiently and persistently as the effort to resuscitate one who has been drowned. The operation in the two- cases is very much the same. The paper we have quoted directs in sub stance : "Place the person on his back, head down and bent backward, arms folded over the head. Never raise the head from the ground or floor. Place a haid roll of clothing beneath the chest with the shoulders declining slightly over it. Open the mouth, pull the tongue forward, and with a cloth wipe out saliva or mucous. Thoroughly loosen the clothing from the neck to the waist-but do not leave the body exposed ; it is essential that it be kept warm. Kneel astride the subject's hips, with your hands well opened on his chest, thumbs pointing to each other and both resting on the lower end of the breastbone; little fingers on the margin of the ribs, and the other fingerB dipping into the spaces between the ribs. "Place your elbows firmly against your hips, and, using your knees as a pivot, press upward and inward toward the heart and lungs, throwing your weight forward for two or three seconds, until your face almost touches that of your patient-ending the movement with a sharp push, which helps to jerk you back to your first position. At thc same . time relax the pressure of your hands, so that the ribs spring ing back to their original position, will cause the air to rush into the lungs. "Wait for two or three soconds and repeat the motions. Keep repeating them, at the rate of about ten to the minute, until the patient breathes naturally. If there is no response to your efforts, persistently maintained for a full hour, you may assume that life is-gone." It is added that it is "important" to maintain the warmth of the body, by means of hot flannels, bottles of hot water, hot bricks, warm clothing taken from bystanders, etc. If an assistant can be had, he should firmly and energetically rub the limbs up ward so as to force the blood to the heart and brain. But, "remember above all things that nothing must interrupt your efforts to restore breathing." When swallowing is es tablished a teaspoonful of warm water, wine, diluted whisked or brandy should, be given. Sleep should be encouraged. In brief : (l)Make the patient breathe, by imitating the respiratory move ments of the chest. (2) Keep the body warm. (3) Send for a physician. Accidents from lightning occur every summer, but attempts at resus citation are never reported, if they are made. They are probably very rarely made. They should be made in all cases and persisted in until obviously hopeless-"for a full hour, at least." The information and in structions contained in the depart ment's circular should be published in every paper, and carefully taught in every school in the State. They are all important in the emergency to which they relate, and every intelli gent person should be able to apply them at need. Death is usually nearer at hand than the doctor where the lightning flash has fallen.-News and Courier. In a Faint. Every person should know how to treat a person who has fainted. First of all, loosen every tight thing from around the neck or abdomen-that is, unfasten the collar from around the' neck, and if the patient is a lady cut her stay laces if she wears stays. Al low the person all the fresh air possi ble. Do not crowd around, and, if in a crowded place, carry the patient out or to an open window. A fainting person should always be laid flat on the back, and it greatly aids recovery ifthe head can be put lower than the body, so that blood goes readily to the brain. The main cause of fainting is that the brain is deprived of blood, and if the head is laid low the brain can get its share again and so resume its workings. Cold water sprinkled over the face, smelling salts or burn ing feathers held to the nose, and fan ning the face, all help to restore con sciousness. In an ordinary case thc person may be allowed to sit up when conscious and afteraiittle restresumo her way. The custom of giving brandy or oth er spirits to a person who has fainted is a mischievous one. Allow the per son to come to; then let her slowly drink a cupful of cold water, and no harm is done. Persons subject to these attacks must keep out of close, hot and unventilated places, either of devotion or of amusement. They should not take Turkish baths-not even hot baths. In place of the latter they may have a sponge all over with hot water. Tea and coffee must not be drank by those subject tc fainting attacks. If ladies, they must not wear corsets. Men must not use to bacco in any form, nor drink intoxi cants, if subject to these attacks. Heavy and indigestible foods must be avoided, as most heavy work.-New York Ledger.

A half naked Indian was looking on at some workmen in the employ of Governor Dudley, of Massachusetts, "Why don't you go to work and get yourself some clothing?" asked the governor. "Why don't you work?" retorted the son of the forest. "I work head work," said Dudley, pointing to his head. The Indian said he was willing to work, and agreed to kill a calf for tho governor. Having done so, he carno for his pay. "But," said the governor, "you have not dressed the calf." "No," said the Indian, "I was to have a shilliug for killing him. Am he no dead, governor?" Finding himself outwitted the gov ernor gave him another shilling to dress it. It was not long before the Indian came back demanding a good shilling in place of the bad one he claimed the governor had given him. The governor paid him another. Re turning another time with still another brass piece to be changed, the governor, convinced of his knavery, offered him half a crown if he would deliver a let ter for him. The letter was directed to the keeper of the prison, and order ed him to give thc bearer a certain number of lashes. The Indian suspecting that all was not right., and meeting a servant of the governor, induced him to take the letter to its address. The result of the Indian's stratagem was that a severe whipping was administered to the unfortunate servant. The governor was greatly chagrined at being a second time outwitted by the Indian. On falling in with him sometime shortly after, he accosted him with some se ' verity, asking him how he dared to cheat and deceive him so many times. "Head work, governor, head work," was the reply. Pleased with the fellow's wit and audacity, the governor forgave him. John Lowlow Dying. Not a jear ago old John Lowlow, the greatest of clowns, made his reap pearance in Charlotte with Sell's cir cus. He had great ideas of his work next fall, promising to revisit Char lotte, one of his pet towns, and bring, back the old Robinson style of circus. Alas, for all of his dreams! Today he lies dying at his sister's home in Cleveland, 0. No man in the ring was ever treated with the social cour ? tesy that Lowlow was. His mother wit took him where men of better sta tion seldom were admitted. John Lowlow was born in Savannah, Ga., in 1841, and is, therefore, 55 .years of age. He was left an orphan early in life and began- to scuffle for himself. His uncle sent him to the University of North Carolina, but af ter getting a little learning he ran away, and soon after attached himself to old John Robinson's circus in Sav annah as a lemonade seller. From that he was promoted to the ring, and finally began his life-long engagement with the Robinsons in 1856. He never left the Robinson's but once, drawing always a salary of $150 a week. Last year he was with the Sells, but in tended next, fall to revive the Robin son circus, and make a tour through out the South. Lowlow's name was Lawlow, but the first time it appeared in print it was spelled "Lowlow" so he he let it go at that. There has never been a clown to equal Lowlow. He had no rival. He has a wife and one son, a lawyer in Cleveland.-Charlotte Observer. Loving too Late. Not long ago I met a young lady in poverty whom I had previously known in wealth, and this was, in substance, the story she told me : "Father died suddenly in Washington, and the pro fessional skill through which he had coined money for.us died with him. I am not weeping because we are poor. I am broken-hearted because none of us saw that he was dying. Was it not pitiful that he should think it best not tell any of us that he was sick. And I, his petted daughter, though I knew he was taking opium to soothe his great pain, was so absorbed by my lovers, my games and my dress es, that I just boped it would all come right. If I could only remember that even once I hadopitied his suffering or felt anxious about his life I might bear his loss better!" The story is common enough. Many a father, year after year, goes in and out of his home carrying the burden and doing the labor of life, while those whom he tenderly loves hold with but careless hands all of honor and gold he wins by honor and pain. Then some day his head and hands can work no more ! And the hearts that have not learned the great lesson of unsel fish love while love was their teacher, must now begin their sad duty when love has left t'aem alone forever. Amelia A. Borr, in Ladies ' Home Journal. The 01(1 Soldier a Woman. TOPEKA, KAN., June 21.-A story comes from Butler County, which is as romantic as it is strange and pecu liar. While a terrific storm was raging, Otto Schaffer, a hermit farmer, who had lived there many years, took shelter in his cabin and was offering up a prayer for protection when a bolt of lightning demolished the house and killed Schaffer. Neighbors found thc dead body on the floor and summoned the Coroner. This official prepared the body for burial, and i;a doing so made the dis covery that has been the talk of the county. He says Schaffer was a j woman. The deceased was an ex I soldier and participated in many of the battles of th 2 war. Despite this discovery th? Grand Army veterans turned ou?ind gave Schaffer a soldier's burial. An incident happened in the burial services which the old comrades believed was a warning sent from God. As one of the comrades 6r"d a last salute over the empty grave into which the coffin had been lowered, U waB found that the gun was load" d with ball as well rs powder and the shot killed a dove which was flying over. The dove fluttered and fell on the coffin, dead. Schaffer leaves con siderable property, but one in the county knows of re? ,es of the deceased. -? ?? m - Rats have been found very useful in cotton mills where the raw cotton has been imperfectly ginned. In a Spanish cotton mill the storeroom was invaded by swarms of rats, who pulled the bales to p:;cces to get at the seeds left in the cotton. They did- the work thoroughly, without injuring the fiber in any way. - The fact that consumption can be cured is daily becoming more impress ed on the minds of thc laymen. One of the simplest s;nd best methods of fighting this dreac. malady is the warm milk treatment, and while undergoing it the patient is advised to go on some farm, where ho is eure to get it fresh, and where, moreover, he can pass his days horseback riding. When thc entire treatment is undergone, recovery from consumption would not only bc possible, but would very likely occur, unless the lungs had been too badly diseased. An outdoor life in pure air, good wholesome food and plenty of it, are the sorest cures for the malady, and no one of the features is more important than either of the Irby Steps Down, LAURENS, S. C, June 17.-In a short interview with Senator Irby your corres pondent asked him this question : "Will you be at Manning next Monday, Senator?" To which the Senator answered : "No. I sball noi attend that or any other cam paign meeting as a candidate for the United otates Senate. I bad intended up to a short time ago to ask for the nomi nation at the ensuing primary, but have concluded not to enter the contest. From advices received from different sections of the State I concluded my motives and special acts fur the last year have been miaunderstood by the faction of which I was a charter member. It is apparent from these advices that I must antagonize thoBe with whom I have co-operated po litically since lS<f> It seems that the entire machinery of the party government has been orgauized to humiliate, defeat and destroy me. This would not have been, but tor a misunderstanding of my motives in opposing the equal division of delegates to the Constitutional convention, the defence of the name of Butler in that convention, my opposition to the plan of suffrage as adopted and the uncompro mising position taken by me in opposition to a bolt in the late ??tate Democratic con vention. "In addition, if I were to run with my old friends organized against me I could only expect Bupport from those heretofore my political opponents, which would be distasteful to me as they owe me no favors. "In arriving at this conclusion I deBlre to say that I cherish no spleen towards those who I believe misconstrue my motives and political course recently, and confidently anticipate in the future to vindicate those positions and policies.'1 - Greenville News. - Texas lays claim to the biggest hog ever ralaed in the United States.

What shall I do?" Governor Evans at once wired to the sheriff to proceed with the execution, but a few moments afterwards received a telegram stating that Robertson would surely die. The Governor then wired a respite until next Friday, but Robertson died yesterday afternoon. The following telegram was received by the Register from aiken last night: Daniel Robertson, who was to have been banged here to-day for the murder of Bland Watson, killed himself by cut ting his throat a few moments after twelve with a piece of corset steel, about; four inches long. He died about five o'clock. He requested a few seconds for I private prayer in his cell and made sev eral gasheB in his throat severing the windpipe and jugular vein.-Columbia Register June 20. Away With thc Dispensary. Judge Simon ton bas decided that those who order liquor from outside tbeSta?e for their own use will not have to submit to the humiliating spectacle of having it taken to the State chemist for analysis. Of course, the Legislature never had any idea that any such regu ation would hold when taken before Judge Simon ton-their only aim is to harass and bully people into support of the dispensary law in the hope that they will finally tire of the con tinual opposition. But liberty-loving peo pie and people who love honest govern ment should fight this infamous business to the bitter end. South Carolina can never prosper as she ought until every dispensary in the State is closed.-Dar lington New8. DELICATE' Should Use FEMALE REGULATOR.
