DOUBLE END PROPELLERS. Theories That S,. should be Built With a Screw in the Kow and Stern. Theories h:ve been recenitly advanced by naval architect: au:l engineers to the efTee: that steamers should be built with a pro pelier in the bow as well ~s :i the stern ti the vessei. A ferry-b :a i"''v ji' Lui in New York t-. lciewnt:tte th! t ihm(" tiheori<s are' pr:aie abh.. It tok Howe tenh vears to distover that ti ol der to iuak: sewing mac ine :t needh: mu1t be tlIen:teV at the point instead of this th- r et.d, :t tie artimntis in f:avor of the propeih-rt tle bw of a steauner are parallels with '11 sewing machine disco'.ety. It las been ehianti that Ih;: action o' two wheels, one in the bow and one in ii stern, is this: The forward wheel ser-.+ iself into the solid wafer ahe:,d of thne : i.ud throws a:tcrn the tuanutity ot water i has bit in the revolutitn, which action. is said, draws the boat ahead. The curet Ilows aft and there cones in contact wit b t he stern terew, which is at the same tin pushing the boat ahead. William C'owies, a New York naval architect, in a papet which he read before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, said that tlt screw in the bow of the boat has beet proved by use to be more efficient in pro pelling than a screw at the stern. Charles H. Cramp, whose firm is build ing several-ships of the new navy, said lat night, when asked what he thought about the bow propeller theory: "It has not been proved by use that the screw in the bow of the boat is more etli cient in propelling than a screw at tiht stern. So far the propellor in the bow oi a steamer is only a theory. There may b a good deal in the theory, and it is matter I would have to give careful thought be fore condemning. If, however, as I thin, now, two boats were built, one with two propellers in the stern and the other boat with a propehec i- th .ern and one in th< bow, I think I woulu take the boat witi the two propellers in the stern as the quick est, safest and most powerful. I do no believe that warships. built with propeller: in the bow, would be any better than thor built with only propellers in the stern, bu as I said before, there is a a good deal it the theory, and I would have to enter ilt the technicalities of shipbuilding before ] would care to express my self emphaticall, as to whether the theory admits of practi cability. "So far as the propeller in the bow ap plies to tugs and boats for use in the )el:i ware river or in New York harbor I sal that the propeller in the bow would be failure on account of ice, which wouki break the blades of the screw. No screv could stand coming in contact with bi; cakes of ice. By having the propellor le cated in the bow of the boat the screw as : matter of course would have to ploV through the ice, whereas with the screw ii the stern it is different. The prow of the boat has separated the ice before the screv in the stern comes in contact with it. It i all very nice to theorize, but until I saw the practical working of a screw in the bo' of the boat and saw that it was an improve ment over the screw in the stern I wouk have to decide in favor of the screv in the stern:"-Philadelphia Times Nov. 6 Lord Randolph's Lucky Dream. Lord Randolph Churchill has taken ti dreaming winners, and, what is a ver; great deal more, dreaming them accurately Ina vision a few nights since his Lordshil dreamed that No. 22 (Veracity) on the car( had won the Cambridgeshire, and being t practical dreamer with a belief in himself he backed No. 22 to win him some ?1,000 I have told many stories of winners bein: .dreamed, and so far as I know my storie have peen true, but there is no doubt abou this most recent addition to the list. Fo on noment he may have doubted whethe h sa flyer at dreams after all, for th first number put up by the judge was "2 (Trenebreuse), and we began ' to wonde how it was we had missed the white jacke and green cap, but "2" was speedily taket down, The judge had told his man t< *hoist "22," but the chattering round hi: *box made his voice inaudible and so cause( the mistake. However, the "22" was sooi put up and Lord Randolph awoke to th fact that he had developed a new accomr plishment.-London illustrated News. 'The Grave of Genghis Knan. The well-known traveier and savant Abbe Armand David, sass that the mno:t.a rmains of the great cornqueror', Geoghi: Khan, or Genghis B~ogote, as he is callt in Mongolian, are :)-tserved at a plaet called Kia-y-sen, in the lad tof Ordes, : dezolate region in a lend of the Teit River in Mongolia.

Mr. C. H. George called in tan see u Satur day and gave us a litule sketch of hi: trip to Texas, where he went to ' -osp~ect with a view of locaticg in casez l aed the place. He wias absent eleven daiy. anad visited Ccisicanna, in Natvarro County', 21? miles into the interior. He is "vidently noe. very favorably impressed with all that he saw, and he returbed contvinlced that far mers ca do as well in Sotuth Carolina as it Texas. The lands are better there antd it takes less lab.or to make a corn crop, bt when it is made it sells for so much les' thee than here that it amounts to about the same. Neither the climate nor the water is as grood as ini South Carolina. The far. mers are no better off; have their fartma covered by mortgages, and complain of hard times just as much as we do here. He travelled througH five States and from his limited observations he saw no place that pleaz.ad him as well as Aiken.-Aiken Journal. He Would Revenge Himuselr. A negro about 20 years of age, answer ing to the name of Manuel Felder, was ar rested yasterday for a cowardly attack on a small white boy. It appears that Felder had taken offense at some remarks made in a crowd of small boys on Tuesday night, but had refrained fronm action until he met this boy, who was among the number, who was not so old as himself by more than half. If he had not been taken under the protection of the law so quickly he would have been harshnly dealt with by the indig nant, the enraged citizens, both black and white, who saw him, for he had struck the boy several times in the head and face with a rock, which he held in his hand, inflict ing severe wounds each time. H~e will p)ro pably be sent to jail for thirty days for his offense.-Charleston World, Nov. 8. A reporter, in an article on the destitute poor, spoke of the great number of persons reduced to poverty by the 'mysterious de crees of Providence." His ~astonishment may be imagined when he saw the intelli gent printer had altered it to "mysterious decrease of provisions." "The Lord giveth a cheerful lover." murmured Miss Wilker. "No, that isn't right," she added; "but yet it has a pleas. ing sound." Give what you have, says Longfellow. To some one it may be better than you dare tn think Savannath Valley Convention.

On Friday last Silas .1. Kennedy, col ore-d, asked Mr. .Ioseph B!rown to ash a cheek for $'1 on the Natiotnlal Bank of Newberry-purpurtiig to be drawn by E. A. Scott, and payable to John titet. Mr. Brown was titot satistied as to the genuinle ness of the check, :d took it over to the Bank tosee if it was riult, it was there scnn at once that the signature was not Mr. Scott's, but a forgery. Meantime Keune dy had got out of the way. The police were notiiled, but he 'seped them. On Monday last the Chief of Police found Kennedy hanging around in that portion of town known as Atmis'ka, and took him in and he was coinmmit'.'i to j:til by Trial Justice Blease ~rm the charge of forgery. Kennedy is one of the ie-ading Republi cans in this county and has taken a pronli nent part in their conveit'ions for several years. le was specially conspicuous at the county conventionl hiel here in April to send dlekgates to tte State and Congres sional conventions. Kennedy was recently appointed Repub lican Supervisor of Election at the Pu maria Box. Election day found him in jail. Kennedy is an "educated" negro and has been a school teacher in No. 11 Township for some time. Kennedy denies the charge and says he is not the man who tried to pass the forged check, but Mr. Brown and several of his family identified him as the man.-New berry observer.
