Xcw.s and Couria: After an illness that has been ex tended over a poriod of months Gen. Thomas A. Huguenin. the last com mander of Fort Sumter, and thc idol and leader for many years of the citi zen soldiery of Charleston, passed painlessly into the shadow of the land where many of his comrades had gone before him. Gen.Hugueuin's de-;ith last nightwas not unexpected. Ho had lived for weeks it seemed solely on his great will power. He died peacefully, surrounded by his sorrrowing family, at his residence on Rutledge avenue. Gen. Huguenin was from an old South Carolina family. He was born on November IS, 18351. His father was a successful planter, who took the keenest interest in the affairs of his day, especially those looking tb a good system of State government. Geu. Huguenin spent his early life around Charleston. He entered the Citadel Academy, from which institution he graduated in 1S5?) with high honors. From "thc time he entered the institu tion he took a prominent stand in his class, and was soon made an adjutant, a position which is given those boys who possess soldierly bearing and competency. His worth was recognized by the Citadel authorities, and thc same year he graduated was made assistant pro fessor of mathematics. In I860 Gen. Huguenin visited Eu rope in order to perfect himself in military science. Gen. Huguenin entered the State service in January, 1861, as first lieu tenant, Company A, 1st regiment of infantry. In May, 1861, he volun teered in the Confederate service, Company A. 1st regiment, of which he was made first lieutenant. In July, 1861, he was promoted to ;he position of captain, and was afterwards made a major. Gen. Huguenin was present at the capture of Fort Sumter, April 12 and 13, 1861. He was in every en gagement in defence of Charleston harbor, at Fort Moultrie, chief of ar tillery at Morris Island in 1863, and commanded the rear guard at the evacuation of Morris Islhnd, Septem ber 6, 1863. He was in command of Fort Sumter from July, 1864, to Feb ruary 17, 1S65* He was also in com mand of his legiment at Averysboro and Bentonville. During the war Gen. Huguenin received four wounds. The dates were September 5 and 6, 1863, at Battery Wagner; August, 1864, and November, ?S64, at Fort Sumter. He was never detailed ex cept to serve on a court-martial, and never had a leave of absence but once, and then only for forty-eight hours. Gen. Huguenin was made successor of Capt. John Mitchel in the command of Fort Sumter, and assumed charge on the evening of July 20, 1864. In this active service Capt. Hugue nin had many advantages and oppor tunities for the display of those qual ities which distinguished him and which seemed to fit him for a higher and more responsible position. He was put in command of Sumter about three hours after his predecessor had breath his lost. He appeared to be saluted with a particularly heavy shelling by motors. Two of thc supply barges were sunk at the wharf by the fire that night, ind a partial relief of the much fatigued garrison was effected under great difficulties, but without any loss of life. No other attempt was was made on Fort Sumter until July 28, and this was upon the south western angie on the interior, or the harbor side of the fort, diametrically opposite the quarter first threatened. Gen. Huguenin related that at about 8:30 p. m. the alarm was given of the epproach of some kind of flotilla from the direction of Fort Johnston. The ramparts were instantly manned, the sally port closed, and an infantry fire opened from the walls upon some very dimly perceived objects on the water. Capt. Huguenin himself repaired to thc eastern or opposite angle of the garge, judging that thc real attack would be made in that direction, and that the observed movement was a feint. Scarcely had he taken his po sition when explosion occurred off the eastern face of the western face of the fort. The noise was not great, but there was a display of light and smoke that suggested to his mind something serious. Hurrying to the spot he found the troops, under Capt. Phil lips, unhurt, and no further sign of damage done than a liberal smattering of mud and upon the wharf and west ern end. The garrison was kept under arms the whole night, but no further alarm or disturbance occurred. It was Gen. Foster's plan to blow up the fort by means of a powder raft, but he made a complete failure in thc attempt. Commander Huguenin had for a long season of undisturbed possessiou seen the reliefs of his invincible garrison come and go, while the labors of his engineer force were adding strength, accommodation, and even finish, to the powerful earthwork into which the ruined brick fort has been transform ed. He felt-and the city, the State, and the whole Southern country felt with him-a lofty pride in maintain ing this post, made illustrious by so much bravery, skill and persistence. Though the sounds of war had died away around the harbor through all that winter of 186-1-65, and the flag of Sumter, flung to the breeze every morning, had been daily lowered with the saluting of thc evening gun, the time was drawing near for the termi nation of its defence and the furling of that flag forever. On Capt. Huguenin Had twice de volved the unpleasant duty of being the last to leave a well defended post. At Sumter, as at Battery Wagner in thc summer of 1863, the evacua tion was made by night with secrecy and dispatch, with the noise of great guns firing heavily, for the Union bat teries had opened a severe fire upon Sullivan's and James Islands, though not upon Fort Sumter, and with fore boding of disaster. At Sumter ruin had well-nigh been covered up and concealed ; trim ranks of gabions held up the slopes and debris; capacious and comfortable quarters sheltered in perfect safety tie garrison; the parade even looked swept and garnished; thc casemates, either armed or turned to useful purposes, still recalled the old brick fort; the crest of the walls show ed some lines of regularity, and over all dominated the bomb-proof covering of the stair tower at thc southwestern angle, with not one inch lost from thc original level of the fort at that point, forty-five feet above high water marks. The eye of the commander toole in all these things for the last time as he went the rounds with his two attend ant officers, pacing thc deserted cham bers which only echoed to his footfall or walking through thc deep shadow of the long galleries, until he emerged af length through tho sallyport upon the open wharf, where thc boats were waiting for him. Then nothing re remained but to cast olF thc lines, which was done by Capt. Huguenin, assisted by Lieuts. Whit?; and Swin ton, and to step on board. Fort Sum ter loomed grandly bo-fore their linger ing eyes for a few minutes longer, then tbe dark night enveloped it, and they saw it no more. When the war was over, and thc strife between the States had ceased, Gen. Haguenin returned to Christ Church Parish, where he engaged in planting. He remained there until the Courtenay administration, when he was appointed superintendent of streets. He has continued to hohl that office since, with one intermission of two years. Gen. Huguenin was an officer of the 4th brigade, S. C. V. T., when the "rifle clubs" and thc "charitable as sociations'' were allowed to bear ai-ms in the earlier days of "Reconstruc tion," and afterwards elected to thc command of this body of troops. In this capacity he was honored and obey ed implicitly and fully. When Gov ernor Tillman ordered the Charleston troops to Darlington in the spring of 18!>4 Gen. Huguenin consulted with his officers. They told him their men would not go Darlington to protect a lot of whiskey spies who had gotten themselves in trouble. The General, taking upon his shoulders thc entire responsibility, sent word that the 4th brigade would not go. As he expect ed, and all feared, this caused a com plete change in thc brigade, and the hero of Fort Sumter was not on thc new muster roll. Dut his name was graven on the hearts of thc men who had marched under his orders, and never will bc erased. -ia . m HER TEN-YEAR SILENCE. Not Once Broken, Despite her Eusy Habit?. New York Sun. JACOBSTOWX, N.J., February 18. Lucretia Hillman, of this place, has not spoken to a human being in ten years, and if she is faithful to her vow the chances are she will remain silent until the day of her death. She is unmarried, but is capable of taking care of herself, and has done so for a quarter of a century with great suc cess. She is now about 45 years old, and has a mind of her own. Miss Hillman got into trouble ten years ago, and the trouble is respon sible for her speechlessness. She has always had thc idea that the women who pay taxes should have the privi lege of voting. In ISSOshe refused to pay her tax assessment, and it was not until she was threatened with incar ceration in thc county jail that she handed over the money. When she had delivered the cash and received a receipt for it she raised her right hand over head and declared that she would work from that hour to bring about woman suffrage, and until thc right of franchise had been granted to women she would not utter a word to human kind. She was laughed at, but she kept her vow. Frequent attempts have been made to get her to talk, but without avail. She has contribu ted a good deal of money to the cause of woman suffrage, and feels sure that some day she will be permitted to go to the polls and casta vote. She owns and manages one of the best farms in this neighborhood. She pays special attention to truck gardening and puts a snug sum away in the bank at the end of each year. She hires men to do most of the work, but it is not un usual to see her seated on a mowing machine behind a pair of horses or to find her following a cultivator through a potato field. Miss Hillman is a stalwart woman, nearly six feet high. She is as brown as a berry, has a step as firm as that of a grenadier, and when she gets hold of a plough she handles it as if it were a plaything. She knows all about horses and cows, and she is not to be fooled on any subject that pertains to farming. Some interesting stories are told of thc exhibitions given by the woman of her strength when occasion has required that she protect herself. Two years ago she had a man named Clark working for her. Ile was a strapping clap, about 28 years old, and the best of her farm hands. The only fault Clark's employer found with him was that he came home from town sometimes somewhat hazy con cerning his duties in consequence of large and frequent libations of apple jack. She put up with a good deal from him on account of his faithful ness when sober, but her patience gave out one day when he walked up to her with his hat on one car and a defiant, look in his eye. Ile pulled a roll of bills out of his pocket, and, ex tracting two from thc roll, handed her the balance. "Where'd you get this money?" wrote Miss Hillman on the slate which affords her means of communication with other persons. Clark slowly realized what the ques tion was, and, with a shrug of his shoulders, replied: "Shold zhe horsh. Got $100 for him. D-d good bargain. You've got zhe money. I'll keep $10 for my trou ble." The horse referred to was one of thc best on the Hillman farm. Steve had been sent to town with it on an errand and, while under the influence of ap plejack, had sold the animal. A few feet from where Clark stood was a half hogshead that was used as a drinking trough for thc cattle. It was nearly full of water. Picking up the drunk en farm-hand as if he were a plaything Miss Hillman carried him over to the trough, dumped him in, soused him up and down until the fellow was al most drowned, hauled him out, and made him hitch up a horse and go to town with her in his dripping clothes. The bath brought Clark to his senses, and he hunted up the man who had bought the horse. Miss Hillman got the animal back by giving thc man $20 for his bargain. She retained Clark in her service fora year after that, and during that time bc took good care to keep out of thc presence of thc woman when applejack had its grip on him. Miss Hillman always carries much money with her. This fact has made her the prey of lawless characters, and she has had several exciting adven tures with robbers, but she has always come out all right. She was driving home from town one night last sum mer alone, and while she was passing through a stretch of woods two men came out of thc shadows and caught the horse by the head. Miss Hillman was ordered to get out of the wagon und liad over her money. She prompt ly complied with the demand. Une of the men took thc purse that the woman handed him, and probably thinking he was dealing with a person who was half seared to death, opened it and began counting thc bills. Ile had just begun the task when thc wo man pluged her fist squarely against his face, and he went down1 as if he had dropped from the sky. His com panion took to his heels and left the fallen man to thc mercy of the woman. The highwayman attempted to get to his feet, but he got another blow in the face that knocked all thc senses out of him. With a piece of rope Bncklcns Arnica Salve.

I Miss Hillman bound the fellow, and, tossing lum into the vehicle, turned around and brought her prisoner tn town and handed him over to thc au thorities. Then she drove home as calm as if ,>lu: had been to a Quaker meet ing. Several attempts have been made to win 31 iss llillman's heart and hand. All sorts of men have laidseige to her heart, but she has suspected them all of having designs upon her property, and therefore has not seen fit to ac cept an offer. About five years ago Orrin Holcombe, a horse dentist, took it into his head that he could catch her. He got a job at fixing thc teeth of her horses, and was soon acquaint ed with her. Occasionally he drop ped in on Sunday night and finally made her understand that his atten tions were serious. She cut him at once, and Holcombe was unable to get an audience with her until one eve ning at the school house. There was a stereoptican entertainment. Miss Hillman attended it and Holcombe came in and took a seat beside her. While the entertainment was going on he persisted in whispering to Miss Hillman until, to thc astonishment of everybody in the room, she caught him by the scruff of the neck, lifting him off his feet as if he had been a terrier, lugged him to the door and tossed him o? the step. Then she returned to her seat and watched the pictures. Holcombe discontinued his attentions. Miss Hillman has more than ordina ry intelligence. She is well read and ?a a musiciat of considerable ability. She plays the T::r>no; and is an expert violinist. She has but little to do with her neighbors, preferring to keep her own society. .She is very fond of her cows and horses, and makes a pct of each one of them. Her barns where tba stock is kept are as comfortably built as the one in which she lives. Filled the Devil with Shot. A burglar last week met with his de serts in a dramatic manner. In the neighborhood of a place called Hunts burg, near Oldenburg, two little boys, aged respectively 8 and 12, were left by their mother at home to take care of thc house. A man with blackened face and in black attire suddenly en teicd and announced himself to the scared little mites as his Satanic maj esty. "I am thc devil: where do you kc jp your money?" They instantly pointed toward thc massive trunk where the modest wealth of the parents were treasured up. While, however, the murky-looking impostor was ransacking thc chest, thc younger of the two boys whispered to his brother: t;Go and fetch thc gun and shoot the devil dead!" Thc brother jumped at the idea, fetched the loaded weapon, crept up to the unsuspecting thief and loaded the whole charge in his back. Ile fell back dead. jil WIYl^ We Offer You a Remedy Which Insures SAFETY to LIFE of Both Mother and Child. "MOTHERS'FRIEND RODS CONFINEMENT OF ITS PAIN, HORROR AND DANGER, Makes CHILD-BIRTH Easy.

C., S, C, Let thc Babies Cry, That babies ought to cry occasion ally, is a fact well known to doctors; but one which seems to be very much against the creed of mother? and nur ses. The model babies who never cry are unnatural specimens. Cryiug is the only exercise a young baby gets; it expands the lungs, causes a better circulation of the blood, and helps on muscular growth. Of course, fretting when there is discomfort is to be promptly attended to, and screaming (which might cause rupture) must not be allowed; but a really healthy little cry, when nothing particular is the matter, save the baby needs that mode of expression for its pent-up feelings -this is not a thing to make every body run and try to divert the little ones' attention or to stop him or get out of the way as if there was a fire or a runaway locomotive coming. The noise is not pleasant, but if we were once assured that it was a harm less pastime for baby, most of us could reconcile ourselves to it once in a while. Not at night. If there is one lesson more important than another, it is that darkness and stillness go to gether. But although the idea may be a novel one, there is something to be said in favor of little babies being allowed a small crying spell-that is, an exercise spell-during thc day, purely upon the grounds of health. A Belle at Eighty. Some years ago there was an old lady in the Southern capital who not only wore decollete ball dresses at 80, but actually possessed thc lovely neck and arms which they require. She was most innocently vain, and no wonder, for she was immensely flattered, and her townspeople valued her charmsfar above those of her young and more beautiful rivals. She had a curious way of preparing for a bail, which our modern fashionable w^men with their multitudinous engagments would find difficult to emulate. The morning be fore she proposed appearing in full re galia she would take a brisk walk, and return in time for a midday dinner, after which she remained quiet with her work until about 3 or 4 o'clock, when she would retire to her bed (par taking of some light refreshment at thc tea hour,) until it was time to dress for her ball. Then she would get up, take a bath and make thc most elaborate toilet. All the household regarded these preparations in the light of solemn rites, and would never have dreamed of laughing at them in any way. Her appearance was a tri umph, never failing to excite the greatest admiration and adulation. New York Ledger. - Three men in France competed to see who could drink the most water. One swallowed 12 quarts, thc second 9, and the third 7,. All three died from the effects. - ITore are some curious ways o? woo ing a wife: In Lapland the marriageable youug woman goes with her friends to tho public common. Her suitors are on hand, and wheo all is ready' the maiden sets ont on a run, whiloher lovers pursue her. If the girl loves or ia anxious to marry she invariably manages to be caught by the object of her affection. Among the Kirghis, in Central Asia, the bride to be is mounted on a fleet horse and armed with a formidable whip. She is then pursued by her suitors. If she does not love tho one who may close with her she belabors him and hi3 horse with her whip in the effort to keep him away, but she yields gracefully to the favored one. On the west coast of Greenland the man who decides to marry goes to the home of the girl he covets and drags her forth by the hair. Then ho gives her a pail or some other household utensil and the ceremony is complete.
