The news of the death of the Pros- j icjent cams as a shook, for the pub- j lie h?d been hd to believe that he was recovering well, but it dei veloped that gangrene followed the : j/ pafh of the bullet and probably other causes led death to quickly ensue at 2.15 Saturday morning. ftlr. Mclyinley was one of the | most popular men who ever occu- | pipd the presidential chair and he | Wop hia way into the hearts of his , people by lifs own efforts. For he j won his way iuto office in the face I pf tremendous opposition, not only from the opposing party, but elo- | inents in his own party and ho has had probably more to contend with while in office than any of his predecessors. Ho was bitterly censured by sopie in his conduct of the war with Spain and the L'liillipines and every obstacle was thrown in hie pathway. While a host of impetuous people abused him for not hastening the war Ufitlt Kt\ntn whwih ln? ??o?o ii uiv.il 11u ncio fen - j jiestly trying to nvoid, those same people afterwards abused him for not withdrawing in the face of the ; enemy. Yet hi spite of nil he won out by his determination and un- i swerving devotion to duty and by his high, honorable Christian character lind about obtained his {reward in the devotion and ad mi ' ration of Ins follow-countrymen when his career was so suddenly ( ended hy an assassin's bullet.

It is supposed that, a mad dog rutin about with evidences of intense oxciteinent. It is not so. | The mad dog never runs about in agitation: he never gallops; he is always alone, usually in a strange place, where lie jogs along slowly. If lie is approached by dog or man he shows no signs of excitement, but when the dog or man is near enough he simps and resumes his solitary trot. '*3. If a dog barks, yelps, whines or growls, that dog is not mad. The only sound a mad dog is ever known to emit is a hoarse howl iuuI tlwit !?ut. seldom. Even Mows will not extort mi outcry from a mud dog. Therefore, if any doff, under any circumstances, utters any other sound than that of n hoarse howl, that dot; is not mad. "1. It is supposed that the umd dog froths Ht the mouth. It is not so. If a dog's jaws aro covered or decked with white froth, the dog is not mad. The surest of all signs that a dog is mad is n thick and ropy brown mucus clinging to his lipa, which he often tries vainly to tear away with his paws or wash away with water." ? ?

To the editor of the Nows and Courier: >n an article from the j New York Times, headed "Third ! Attack on Presidents" in your is- , .-uc nf today, 1 litul these words: ! "To Americano Liwoln'sassussi- ; nation came as a new exp- rienee j in-the national history, t'ntil then j no attempt lwid ever been made ! upon the life of any of the fifteen j Chief Magistrates who proceeded ' him." This iH a mistake. On the 30th \ day of January, 1835, an nlteinpt , was made to assassinate President , Jackson. It was made while the president was attending the funeral services at the rapitol at Washington of the Hon. Warren It. [ Davis, of South Carolina. The j name of the man who n'.tempted ' the shooting of our then Chief : Magistrate was Richard Lawrence, a printer residing in Washington City. The conduct of the sssailed chief was so characteristic of ''Old Hickory" that I am sure 1 will be pardoned for quoting at some length an account of the occurrence: "The President with the Secrc- i tary of the Treasury <?n his left 1 arm, on retiring from the rotunda' to reach his carriage at the st ps of the portico, advanced toward 1 the spot where l.mwieiice stood who had his pistol concealed under his coat- and when tlie President approaclu-d within two yards and . a half of him the assassin extended his arm and levelled the pistol I at the President's breast. The1 percussion cap exploded with a I noise m> great that several witness- 1 OS SUimiised the ni?tr>l tin/' Per.><t 1 *? - ----- I I j On t!i<- instant the assassin dropped , the pistol from his right hand and taking another ready ooeked from t his left, presented and snapped it ' at the President, who. al the j I moment raised his cane and made [ for the assailant with lien like en- j ' crgv, and would have executed , summary vengeance had not See- j : rotary Woodbnrv had Lieutenant j I CJodney at the same instant laid j hold of the man. who gave way i through the crowd and was at last j knocked down, the President press- j ; ing after him until he saw he was j 1 secured. * * * During the event- j fill moment the President's voice was heard above all others, as j tearing himself from his friends, | and rushing upon the assassin, he j said ; Let me go, gentlemen, I ain j not afraid, they can't kill me. I can protect myself. Socretary Dickerson testified at i ; the trial of tho would-l>e murderer ! that the President angrily said at the time of the occurrence, 'He knew where this came from.' The same author tells us that, 'So great wits the excitement produced by the affair that some of the most j emineut political opponents of the President, including such men as Clay, Cnllinun and Poindexter, were in the frenzy of the moment suspeoted of having conspired in this plot to get rid of the President." Of course, "Old Jack" believed to his dying day that Calhoun and otljer enemies (all opponents of "Old JntV' were his ''enemies") put poor Lawrence up to doing what he did. But "Old Jack," whatever were his faults, was a ' fiighter right" and needed no | protection against tho bullets of assussius or anything else. Ik -T. J. D. i Partington, Sept. 10 j ; The Sale ex Mai: Tonics. A cpe in! from Columbia ti? the News iind Courier save that quite a number of letters have been received with reference to the sale of "jnalt tonics." There seems to !>? a groat deal of misunderstandiny; as to the recent orders issued for the seizure of t ese limits. The Stitto board of commissioners have had a givat deni to say on this matter, but the. several wholesale drug stores throughout the State soeni to be worried that the seizures will be made en all malt tonit s now in their htoe.ltu ( Inwoni. ?r McSweeitcy said today that the* order for seiz-ng those malt tonics was issued from the governor's office, and that malts were only to be confiseated when sold as an intoxicant; that is, when same was sold as a beverage for purposes other than medicinal. Some of the drug houses who have made the inquiries seeui to think that Home trouble will be expeiienced from the different views taken on this order. Some more explicit working may be made if tho inquiry continues. A Shocking Calamity. 'Lately befell a railroad laborer." Writes Pr. A. Kellet. of Williford. Ark.

While seeking the means of statutory curb for the intending murderer, why not put a restraining tax on the manufacture, sale and ownership of this readily concealed nud lift* destroying weapon ? It is already forbidden by law to carry firearms in many States ; but. if it should be made a costly as well as an illegal habit something would have been accomplished in safeguarding the right to live. ?
