ABSA Tlie Crafty Demagog Obsc Gol. James ?. Hoyt ia < In sacred nistory the first and high- ? est type of the demagogue was Ab salom, the brother of Tamar, who had been brutally wronged by Amnon, the eldest son of David. Absalom and Tamar were tho children of Maaoah, a prinoess from the heathen laud of Geshur, and Absalom manifested his true spirit when he compassed the death of bis half-brother Amnon, whoso oruelty and wild passion had caused the ruin of Tamar. In order to avenge bis fair sister, Absalom re sorted to guile and craftiness, and ?xhar, be b&'l eutfesd the king's sons to bis sheep-shearing, be made Am son's heart merry with wine and then cowardly commanded his servants to slay his brother. It was a brutal mur der, without excuse or extenuation, in spite of the faot that Amnon had so wantonly outraged the young wo man, but Absalom had waited two full years to seek revenge for the dis tardly conduct of Amnon and on ac count of his own crime he was com pelled to flee unto the land of Geshnr, where he remained three years. When permitted to return to his own country, he dwelt two whole years in J?rusalem without seeing bis father's face. The real character of Absalom is revealed in this brief narrative of his career. Bold to exeoute vengeance upon ah unarmed man, . he did it in the most cowardly manner through the instrumentality of others. Two yearo had elapsed sinoe his sister was outraged and she was a mem ber of his household all ' that time, and it is recorded that be bated his brothet, refusing to speak with him. He waited an opportunity and slew his brother without remorse. The kingdom of David was undergoing re construction at this time, and was being tested in many ways. His own sins were being visited upon others, and there was dissension in the Jew ish nation, especially in the tribe of Judah. ' It was an auspicious time for the re-appearance of Absalom upon the scene at Jflriaslem, snd bc "^?3 Ibo man to bestir strife and invent plau sible reason for dissatisfaction. He is described in holy writ as moot come ly and attractive, and doubtless very bland and persuasive where bis bidden motives were not.disoerned. "In all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty; from the sole of his feet to the. crown of his head there was no blemish in him." In outward appearance and demeanor there was muoh to admire and commend, and it is not wonderful that David'relented when his son ask ed to see the king's face, reoeiving him with a kiss. The r?conciliation led to David's undoing, and the unscru pulous son began at onoe to supplant his own father in the estimation of hie people. Absalom was exasperated by an enforced exile and this led him' . to foster an unholy ambition. He waB about 30 years old when he ob tained the forgiveness of his father, and he set about at onoe with delib erate design to become the ruler of Israel, working the prejudices of Vis own tribe of Judah. He entered upon o display of extravagance, which .ap pealed to tboao who favored pomp and ceremony, and he went around with ch ario ta and horses, accompanied by a retinue of subservient men.. Absalom speedily blossomed. out into a firstrolass demsgogue, and ; his tribe has been increasing ever since. He arose early in the morning to greet tho people aa th ey cam of rom tho coun try into Jerusalem, nod ho went to the outer gates where he might meet them as they carno to the chief etty upon business. Ho sought those who had a grievance, and ho filled their minda with the idea teat David- waa ^neglectful, imperious and disdainful nf; the lower chvaeo. He pretended Igrmpathy with tlelr condition, affeot P?B to have experience with their pri vations, and proofaimed himself their friend under any and all circum stances. His political an t?os have been reproduced in ali ages, and in our own timo bas been witnessed the counterpart of Absalom,, the pretend ed reformer. What was tho end of this cajolery and flattery ?f tb-A com mon people? The arrant demagogue Waa; partially successful in his pur poses, and created distrust of his ; father, b?bifcn^ king every man would receive exact justice, the public welfare would be subserved, the burdons of the nation would be reduced and 4he privileged class would be made to stand aside. Abadom by the moana cited stole, the hearts of the men of Israel from David, and When this waa accomplish ed, under tho pre ten se and gui se . of religions fervor, he a?Ved permission to viaii Hebron the old capital? Jcdab, where he ?eveloped the- plas <f outbreak against tho kingly author LOM, ue-A Type Not Yet >lete. Greenville Mountaineer. ity of David. It was pure and. un adulterated bypoorioy on his part, using tb; s as a cover for his treachery, and shoeing a willingness to prosti tute the religion of hip chosen race that bis base purposes may sueoeed. His father was crowned king at Heb ron, and he soleoted this place for the culmination of a vile conspiracy against David. Before leaving Jerusalem he sect secret messengers through all Luv bribes cf Israel; working among the discontented and appealing to the disaffect?^ and gave them a concerted signal to be used when he was ready to proclaim himself king of Hebron. "If any class in a community oan be easily fooled," ssys a recent writer, "it is that whioh is striving under real or imsginary grievances, and it may be added that the wily dema gogue always recognizes the propi tious time for bamboozling such peo ple." Absalom not only fixed the trumpet signal of his feign, but he misled 200 citizens of Jerusalem, whom he in vit-' ed tu go with him, and though they were not in the plot nor in sympathy with it, they weakly agreed to his proposition, whioh neutralised their power to serve David, and he sent also for a trusted counsellor of his father, who was actuated by vengeful motives in aooepting tho invitation. The s?beme of Absalom was successful in a large degree, for the people turned continually towards him, and David felt compelled to fleo from Jerusalem. The reign of the demagogue is al ways fleeting and uncertain. He be comes arrogant and offensive, and in his turn receives the treatment accord ed to others. Few men who play tbiu role ic politics ever go down to pos terity with honor or respect, and their fame is ever dimmed by the inglorious resort to expedients that are treacher ous, hypocritical and supremely self ish. Absalom was the forerunner of his kind, and his ways are familiar to the present generation. South Caro lina has suffered from the presence of men who utilize the ohioanery of the seif-seeking demagogue, and it is time the people were undeceiving themselves as to the purity of their motives and the honesty of their in tentions. < Electricity in Warfare. An interesting instanoe of the rapid extension of the use of cleotrioity is f urnished by the fortifications distri buted along our coast. A few years ago the eleotrio light was introduced, to add to the comfort of the garrisons and to provide better illumination of the works. Once a generating plant had been installed there was at hand a supply of power ia a convenient and easily controllable form, and this led to its use for purposes whioh were not contemplated at the timo the plant was installed. Eleotrio fans have boen put in to make the living quar ters more . comfortable in hot weather and eleotrio motors have been adopted for training the guns, a class of work for whioh they are particularly well adapted. Motors aro used to drive the ammunition hoists sud to do other work whioh before had either been done by hand or some less satis factory power. Searchlights have been installed, enabling a fortification to sweep the sea at night. The vari ons posts of tuc fortress are connect ed together by telephone, so that the commandant is in touch at all times with the entire garrison and can in? atantly transmit orders to any point. The various formations along the coast are tied together by telephone and telegraph, BO that on tb o appear ?nee cf the enemy at any point all the .fortifications wonld be informed of it. Submarine mines are eon troll ed. electrically, aud even the gnns may be fired fey this means by an offi cor at some disuat point. By means cf wireless telegraphy ? fortification can be kept io touch with the scout lng vessels, and would be informed of the approach of thc- enemy long be fore he is visible from thc coast. The telautograph may be brought into ser vice for transmitting orders, and cleo trio signalling lights are replacing the AII^A. itTMn. li.?!.*-_~--3 v.w. ?jp jpw. uKvuiw iigutD art) un ou for range-finder crosshairs, for light lng the range-finder stations, and elec tric clock circuits furnish accurate time to all parts.: of - the fortification. To insure the continuity of these manifold services ^poumulators arc now installed, so there will at all times be a constant and reliable supply of power. Thus j. from being nt first a '?Ball auxiliary,, tho electrical equip ment bas extended until it is now probably the moat important part of the entire equipment of the fortress. ^Soion tifio Amori?an. ??

Hero is a pathetic story told to my informant, tho venerable Judge N. A. Patterson, by his father, ae an inci dent of which he knew, says a writer in the Springfield Republican. In the early days of North Carolina a man rodo a long distanoe on horse back to oolloo*, a debt of several hun dred dollars. He took with him for oompany and as a protection against robbers, a dog to whioh ho had long felt much attached. He oolleoted the money, all in silver dollars. Those he tied up in a strong sack, lashed it to the saddle behind him and started for home. When they had traveled about half of tho homeward journey tho dog man ifested a gres.t deal of uneasiness, to whioh ho gave expression by nervous barking and frequent dives at the horse's forelegs. The man was sorely puzzled, and watohed the dog for nome time to see if ho oould find an expla nation cf its strssge conduct His reluctant conclusion was that it had been bitten by a mad dog and was the viotim of hydrophobia. And so to nave his horse and to put the poor dog out of the misery he supposed it was suffering, he drow a pistol and shot it. Not wishing to see it die, he applied the spurn to his horse and rode rapid ly for oomo distance. The thought oamo to him, "I would rather have lost the money than to have been forc ed to kill that good dog." Thus reminded of the treasure, he put hiB hand around behind tho Bad die, to see if the bag was safe, but it was not there. He turned and rapid ly rode baok. When he reached the point whero tho dog first oommenoed to bark and plunge at the horse's legs he found the bag of coin, and the poor viotim of his cruel mistake dying there, with his paws resting patiently on either si ie of his master's treasure. He had tried so hard to make tbe mas ter understand, but had failed, and paid his life as the prioe of his fideli ty. m _ Babbit Dlschargdd Gun. Philadelphia, November 19.-Mar tin Prioe, living near the golf links at Northfield, took his gun yesterday and went out after rabbits. A big one appeared and Price chased it un til it disappeared in a hole. Tho hnnter laid his gun down, got a golf stiok and pushed it into tho burrow. The gun was oooked all ready for Price to piok up and shoot. The cottontail came out with a rush and its first bound landed it on the gun. Its fore feet struck the trigger and the gun was discharged, both bar rels going o(f at once. .Price was in a stooping position, his dog near him. He waB jost far enough out of the line of the gun to esospe the full force of the ohargeB in it, but two fingers were torn off, his leg was badly lacerated, and his left oheek filled with shot. One of the dog's legs was shot off. The rabbit is still at large.-Nev/ York Sun.
