WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1888. HERE AID THERE. The Republican National Convention meets at Chicago, June 19th Five negro children were burned to death at Greenville, S. C., on Wednesday last in a negro cabins where there mother had left them. The bridge over the Pee Dee River on the Wilmington,/Columbia, and Augusta Rail .road has been rebuilt and trains via the At lantic Coast Line have resumed regular gchedules on that road. A handsome shaft of granite in the Con federate cemetery at Winchester, Va., bears the inscription : "Stranger, go tell it in Georgia that 1,960 Georgians lie here in obedience to her laws." The rumor that Senator Blair will intro duce a bill in the Senate calling on the Gov ernment to expend $3.000,000 in sending copies of Shakespeare's work to the planet Jupiter is now thought to be unfounded. All Texas needs to become overpopulated in a short time is a few women like Mrs. MaElmore, of Texarkana. She has just giv en birth to triplets, and this is her third experience of the same sort. Although mar ried but three years, she is the mother of nine children-all living. It is said that .Associate Justice Lamar has a very curious way of gripping his pen when he writes. His fingers are stiff and when he gets started he plunges and digs as if in hot pursuit of a rapidly retreat ing bug. There are some Judges in South Carolina who ought to be required either to improv-e their handwriting or to use a type wnter. Isaac Salmond, a colored boy. was recent ly arrested near Camden for attempting to steal some money from a white lady. When he was about to be taken to jail he proposed that his captors whip him and let him go. His proposition was accepted, and one hun dred and one lashes were laid on his back in good style. When the whipping was done he touched his hat to his captors and left for parts unknown. All able bodied persons between the ages of sixteen and fifty years are required to work the roads not less than six nor more than twelve days in any year. Teachers and students of schools and colleges and ministers of the gospel, who are serv ing a congregation as pastor, shall be ex empt from road duty. Those liable can re lieve themselves by paying a commutation tax of two dollars to the county treasurer, which payment will exempt them for one year. The Hon. C. G. Memminger of Charles ton died in that city last Wednesday night. Mr. Memminger was for years a leading citizen of South Carolina. He took a lead ing position at the bar, and besides held several places of public trust. He repre sented Charleston in the House for several terms, and took a leading position. He was Secretary of the Treasury of the Con federate Government as first organized, and held that post for two years, when -he re signed. Mr. Memminger was conspicuous in his advocacy of free common schools. His death removes one of the old land marks, and closes a most honorable career. Prof. Seelye says in the Forum for March that "the President doesnot rule: neither does the Congress nor the Supreme Court. The people are the only rulers." That is the theory. It used to be that the "people" bossed the machine, but it is not so now. The Congress governs. The Speaker of the House is the most influential man in the Union. He appoints the Chairman of te Committees ; the Committees rule Con gesand the Congress rules the country. Ifthe Congress was not Big Boss it would not dare to waste the people's money as it does. If the people were the rulers they would soon clear out the wasters and spoil ers. The Comptroller General has issued the following circular, which will be sent to all the sheriffs and county treasurers in the State: "To the county treasurers and sheriffs: Wherever the treasurer has issued and handed to the sheriff of his county an exe cution or *arrant, as required by the recent forfeited laud act, and the sheriff, on pre senting said execution, finds that the tax payer holds a receipt, properly issued and signed by the county treasurer, the said sheriff will stay execution and report the same to the treasurer, who must examine into the genuiness of the said receipt ; and if the receipt proves to be genuine, the - teasurer is hereby required to recall said execution before levy." - A Specific Pension Law. ENews and Courier-.] We do niot see that the terms of the see end section of the. pension law of South Carolina admit of a doubtful interpretation, though the clerk of the Court of Richland county was right, of course, in seeking ad 'cice when a doubt was presented to his own mind. The language of the Act is explicit. Whatever the nature of the disa kility, it must be the result of a wound, must be "permanent," and must be such as to incapacitato the applicant for a pension "from earnin~g a livelihood" in any way. What <onstitu es a 4'.ivelihood'ishkewise snecifically stated.- However badly disa bi'i he m'ay be, if the applicant receives $-250 from any source, or is capable of earn ing so much, he is not entitled to the bene tite of a pension. The fund provided by t~be State is intended clearly to help those who cannot support themselves, and who would be objects of public charity without State aid. This simple, plain rule should solve every doubt that can arise as to the construction of the law in any case. The Act as it stands makes no distinction between "manual' labor and -"mental" la bor, and recognizes none. It regards only the manifest incapacity of the individual applicant to make a living for himself by any means. To take an extreme case for the purpose of illustration, it may be said that, if a soldier of the specified class had lost his eyesight and all his limbs as the result of wounds received in the wvar, and yet; were capable of "earning a livelihood' by teaching or preaching, for example. he would not be entitled to a pension under the South Carolina law. The lawv itself may be a very narro-w one, end greatly restricted in its provisions ;but it was inte'nded to apply to a very smnal class, and, whatever its character, it is the only rule for- the conduct of the law officers of tihe State. it goes, moreover, as fasr as the State can afford to go in this busines.

Science and philosophy have ex hausted themselves in profound trea tises to determine the just relation between mind and matter, between body and soul, how to preserve the equilibrium between the two, and how to restore it when it is lost by sickness of the body. This great problem has successfully been solved by a gentleman in North Carolina, by experience on himself, proving that an ounce of practical experience is worth several pounds of scientific or philosophical theorizing. Mr. Ham lin is one of the best known insurance men in Winston, N. C. Gentlemen-Ever since I was sev en years of age I have had what the doctors call hip disease, and which I call white swelling. My hip was drawn out of place. There was a swelling at the knee joint, where there is a profuse running, which has been there for years. Of course this has greatly depleted my system, together with surgical operation on the leg bone. I tried every known blood pu rifyer to build up my system, but none did me good until I took S. S. S. I use it every spring. It always builds me up, giving me appetite and digestion, and enables me to stand the long, trying, enervating, hot sum mer days. To me there is no such medicine for purifying the blood and building up the wasted system as S. S. S. On using it I soon became strong of body and easy of mind. My color changes from a pale, worn look, to a healthy, robust complexion. Yours, very truly, M. S. Hnra r. Winston, N. C., April 12, 1887. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseas es mailed free.

Many of our best farmers have arrived at the conclusion that poultry raising is the most profitable thing they can engage in. Of the egg alone the London Standard, after stating of what it is composed, mentions the various purposes for which it is used. Every element, the writer says, that is necessary to the support of man is contain ed within the limits of an egg shell, in the best proportions and in the most palatable form. Plain boiled, they are wholesome. The masters of French cookery, however, affirm that it is easy to dress them in more than 500 different ways, each method not only economical, but salutary in the high est degree. No honest appetite ever yet re jected an egg in some guise. It is nutri ment in the most portable form and in the most concentrated shape. Whole nations of mankind rarely touch any other animal food. Kings eat them plain as readily as do the humble tradesmen. After the victory of 3uhldorf, when the Kaiser Ludwig sat at a meal with his burggrafs and great captains, he determined on a piece of luxury-"one egg to every man, and two to the excellently valiant Schwepperman." Far more than fish-for it is watery diet-eggs are the scholars' fare. They contain phosphorus, which is brain food, and sulpihur, which performs a variety of functions in the econ omy. And they are the best of nutriment for children, for, in a compact form, they contain everything that is necessary for the growth of the youthful frame. Eggs are, however, not only food-they are medicine also. The white is the most efficacious of remedies for burs, and the oil extractable from the yelk is regarded by the Russians as an almost miraculous salve for cuts, bruises, and scratches. A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will ef fectually detach a fish bone fastened in the throat, and the white of two' eggs will ren der the deadly corrosive sublimnate as hrtrm less as a dose of calomel. They strengthen the consumptive, invigorate the feeble, and render the most suscep~tible all but proof against jaundice in its more malignant phase. They can also be drunk in the shape of that "egg flip" which sustatns the oratorical efforts of modern statesmen. The merits of eggs do not even end here. In France alone the wine clatritiers use more than 80,000,000 eg'gs a year, and the Alsa tions consume fully 38,000,000 in calico printing an-1 in dressing the leather used in making the finest of French kcid gloves. Finally, not to mention vari ous other employments for eggs in the arts, they may, of course, almost without trouble on the farmer's part, be converted into fowls, whi::h, in any shape, are profit able to the seller and welcome to the buyer. Even egg shells are valuable, for allopath and homeopath alike agree in regarding them as the purest of carbonate of lime &ienijiic American. DYSPEPSIA. IS that misery experienced when we sud denly become aware that we possess a labolical arrangement called a stomach. The stomach is the reservoir from which every fibre an d tissue must be nourished, and any trouble w ith it is soon felt through out the whole system.
