Player, the defaulting dispenser at Kingstree, has been pardoned by Governor McSweeney. A strong petition was presented, asking for the pardon, but we cannot commend the governor in this instance. As this is campaign year, there is a lot of playing for political position in the legislature these days. Biennial sessions of this body would be a good thing for the State and the people, and if the question ever comes before the people of the State, they will decide for biennial sessions. And they will be wise in so doing. The annual sessions now cost a lot of money for which the people of the State do not feceive a particle of benefit. There is much dissatisfaction expressed at the redisricting bill recently passed by the house of representatives, and if the measure ever becomes a law it is likely to be much amended. For our part, if we were going to suggest the formation or change of the Second Congressional district, we should say it should be composed of the counties of Bamberg, Orangeburg, Colleton, Barnwell and Hampton. This would give us a compact district. kV It is said that the county of Bamberg is about eleven thousand dollars in debt. This is a pointer for those who live in the territory embraced in the proposed county of Allendale. The only way to get Bamberg out of the hole is to double-tax her citizens.?Barnwell Sentinel. Our contemporary has the figures wrong. We are not eleven thousand dollars in debt. We are behind about six ? thousand dollars, but it is bad enough, Peven at that. Verily, smaller counties do not reduce expenses. Senator McLaurin writes that he will do all that he can for our public building. This is good news. We believe that he can do much and we had expected him to *-v.- da what he could, but are nevertheless most highly gratified to know that he will not disappoint us. This public building was really his conception. His pride in his own work will prompt him to make an effort to see it crowned with success. Senator McLaurin is a valuable friend at court. He will find that his efforts in Florence's behalf will be appreciated here and throughout this section of the state. ?Florence Times. The Florence Times has in the past said some of the hardest things about Senator McLaurin of any newspaper in the State. Now that it needs his services its tune is changed. Verily, there is nothing like an appropriation for reaching the minds of men?and newspapers. Sensational Story Abont Warren. Bartow Warren, a fugitive from justice on two charges of train robbery and one of murder, and for whom there is a reward of $1,000 offered by the State of South Carolina, if he is taken alive, has been found. Since the express robbery near Bran chville some time a<ro, people have been on the lookout for W arren, but no definite trace could be gotten of him. A railroad conductor coming into V Augusta this afternoon stated to a Herald reporter that the people of Yemassee are considerably excited and all the talk of the little settlement is of a visit the outlaw paid that place this morning. Early this morning, shortly after the two or three stores of the place had been opened the people collected around them noticed a man coming up the railroad track rather shabbily dressed and with a brace of pistols buckled on the outside of his coat. When the man got near enough to be recognized and his back was seen it was noticed that he had a piece of paper pinned on his back on which was written: "I am Bartow Warren. If you want me take me." Warren is well known to many people around Yemassee, and it is said that he knows the woods and swamps in that part of the country as well as he does the home in which he was raised. Very unconcernedly he walked directly to the sore of Mr. Pinkney, on the right side of the railroad going down, went in and stood against the counter for a short time with a hand on each of the pistols while standing in the store, talked with the proprietor for a few minutes and then went away. The reward offered for the criminal states that he must be taken and turned over to the state alive and knowing the desperate character of the man no one seemed to care to run the risk of being killed for the sake of the reward, and it is further known that Warren will never be ? taken alive unless taken while asleep. * The people of Yemassee believe that Warren has some friend in that section who knows his hiding place and has been supply^pg him with food.?Augusta Herald. Burglary in Lees We are informed that on Saturday night, about 2 p. ra., the store of R. B. Gilliam, general merchant, at Lees, S. C., was burglarized and the safe blown open. Just before the burglar finished his work, however, a late home-comer discovered that something was amiss in the Gilliam store. He ran over to the residence of Mr. Gilliam, which was nearby, awakened him, and one or two other neighbors, and returned to the store. When the store was surrounded the burglar was called upon to surrender. He answered this demand with a volley of shots. None of them took effect, though some of the besieging party had narrow escapes. After several exchanges of shots the burglar made a dash to the rear door of the store, where Mr. Gilliam was stationed. As soon as he put his head out for a survey of the field, Mr. Gilliam fired. The agonizing cry that followed the shot showed it had taken effect. The burglar yelled that he was dying and was willing to surrender. Not knowing how many intruders were in the store or'if the burglar's cry of pain was real, Mr. Gilliam shouted to him to throw his weapons outside the door and ? .? come out. This the burglar quickly did. He was soon taken in custody, when it was found that his left eye was shot out and the left side of his face was terribly lacerated. A physician was summoned and the man's wounds dressed. Later he was sent to Bamberg, S. C., and confined in the jail at that place. The burglar proved to be a young man of good appearance, being well dressed and possessing an air of refinement. Upon being questioned he stated that his name was Wilson and that he was from Knoxville, Tenn. While his wounds are severe and painful, there is no probability of the young man dying.?Augusta Chronicle. There is only a few days more in which to make your tax returns. . J"- . - 'OLD FAMILIES OF VENICE. Their Fortune* Are Dianipated and Their Palaces Sold. Very few of the fine old palaces of Venice belong to the descendants of the families who built and originally occupied them. Very little of the enormous wealth for which Venice was celebrated In the fifteenth century remains. The most of It has been dissipated by the descendants of the men who made it, the same as in England, France ami other countries. The rich men of Venice today are an entirely new class of people, whose names do not appear in the Golden Book, which contained a list of the patrician families in Venice who were invited to festivities at the palace. This book was instituted in 1315 and thenceforth until the Austrian occupation was the index and standard of nobility by which all claims to precedence were decided. Occasionally the grand council, by a vote, rewarded the gallantry or public services of some citizen of humble birth by directing that his name be inscribed upon its pages. None but those whose names were in the Golden Book could use the golden stairs when they entered a doge's palace, and when this right was conferred it was equivalent to an order of nobility in another country. There is one notable exception to the decay of the ancient families, and he Is Count Grimani, who traces his lineage back to one of the most famous of the doges, whose portrait, painted by Titian, hangs in the council chamber of the doge's palace. The Grimani palace is 011 the Grand canal, near the Rialto bridge, and Is celebrated for its finely sculptured capitals. Many of the rich men in Venice today are Jews. They practically control the banking business and manufacturing. They own the fine houses of historical interest and the best paying estates on the mainland In the neighborhood. The present wealth of Venice is invested not so much in real estate as in banking, manufacturing, flour mills, elevators, gas companies, cotton mills, the manufacture of glass and in steamships upon the Adriatic.?Chicago Herald. MARRIAGE IN ARABIA. Tke Wedding: Procession an Elaborate and Noisy Affair. A marriage procession among the Arabs is a very elaborate affair. The camel "which bears the bride is decorated with bright henna dye on his neck and shoulders, while there are verses from the Koran inscribed on the hangings. His uncouth legs are often swathed with bright cloths, his head bedecked with plumes and small mirrors, while his back is resplendent with bright colored bits of tinsel, which glisten against a patchwork of many hued cloths. A hood or cage conceals the bride, and no doubt adds to the discomfort of the cramped ride on the beast. There are attendants, and last of all the musicians, chiefly drummers, who attract the crowds by their incessant pounding on small but high keyed instruments. If the Journey to the groom's home is a short one, it is lengthened by stops at frequent intervals, and all the while the lover must not show any eagerness * ? nn motfor TT-llO + Vlfm IU YY CIW11JC uu, uu ujubvw. Tiuuv feelings may be. The Arab may be affectionate, but he cannot with dignity betray emotion. Among the lower classes buffoons accompany the procession with performing bears or other wild animals, and when the bride is wealthy largess is distributed along the route in the form of clothes or coin. When the groom's tent or fixed home has been reached, the bride is expected to show great reluctance about entering it, and In some cases she has to be lifted by the husband over the blood of a sheep he has Just slain.?Woman's Home Companion.

The world has always judged pretty harshly the union of George Eliot and George Ilenry Lewes; not for itself, but for its intluence upon others. The early life of George Eliot and the nature of her intimacy with Mr. Lewes and the strong personality of each are feelingly discussed in the March Delineator bv Clara E. Laugh 1 in in her series oil Authors' Loves. Certainly George Eliot's four and twenty years of life with Lewes were idyllic, full of earnest purpose and unremitting labor and crowned with a perfection of mutual understanding and helpfulness. Mr. Lewes first encouraged her to write fiction and her success proved his wisdom; her novels bear ample testimony to this. The article is accompanied by some rare illustrations. Refused Bribe of 8100,000. Washington, Jan. 24.?James Alman, who once refused a bribe of $100,000 to put poison in cream, which he served to Abraham Lincoln, is dead in this city. He was a well-known and respected citizen. For manv vears he guarded care l'?ll}r the fact that he was in any way mixed up with any plot or attempt on the life of President Lincoln, aud only a few friends knew of the affair. Some months, ago however, he made the following statement: "I knew and loved Mr. Lincoln, and thought at first that the offer of $100,000 to poison him was a joke. At that time I was running a dairy where the bureau of engraving and printing now is, and my family occupied a house which was torn down when the property was bought for its present purposes. Among my regular customers were President Lincoln, Secretary Stanton and many other gentleman in official life. It was his habit in the early spring to walk over in the morning to Secretary Stanton's and take a cup of coffee with him, while they discussed public matters. He generally went to the Secretary's about 5 or 6 o'clock, and sometimes earlier than that. I had received instructions from the Secretary's family to be sure to get around early in the morning and leave cream for the President's coffee. "One morning in the early part of April ?not two weeks before the President was assassinated?I was driving along in my wagon, when two men stopped me, and one of them asked if I didn't want to make AiAAAAA ?ni1 Aniolr T rnol tt ^ur f 1W,VW CrtJJ U11U VJUl^a. x CIV/uivvi^ ouv it what to say, but I told them that I guessed that I did, if it could be done on the level. Well, he then asked me if I could keep a secret, and I told him that I thought that I could. Then he got right close up to me, leaning over the side of the wagon, and said: "Well, my man, here's $100,000 in good money. Every cent of it is yours if you will take this little box of powder and put j it in the cream you serve to President Lincoln this morning. Pour out the cream in the measure and put this powder in it. Nobody will ever suspect anything and the money is yours." "He showed me a tremendous big roll of money, and it looked mighty nice, but I didn't want any of that kind. If it had been as large as the treasury building it would not have tempted me."?Philadelphia Ledger. Yon Know What You Are Taking When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic because the formula is plainly printed on every bottle showing that it is simply iron and quinine in a tasteless form. No cure, no pay. Price 50c. There are many great exhibits at the South Carolina Inter-state and West Indian Exposition, there are many marvelous things. There are sights, sounds and sensations to suit every shade of human taste; profound things for the profound, artistic things for the artistic and morals a-plenty for the moralists. But if one is looking simply for a good time, for pure unadulterated fun, it can be had in the Beautiful Orient on the Midway and in big bunches. Here indeed is the home of hilarity and the street of folly. Mirth and merriment reign supreme. At a step one finds one's self in the midst of a mass of narrow, winding streets flanked with quaint, looking market stalls, stately mosques, solemn temples and graceful minarets, all clothed in the gorgeous colors so dear to the Eastern heart. On ever}' hand arises a babel of strange sounds; the din of drums, the falsette squeak of queer reed instruments, the droning chant of moslein prayers, the hoarse shouts of camel drivers, the shrill cries of hawkers vending their wares, the grunting of camels, the braying of diminutive donkeys, the trumpeting of elephants; a medley of wild, weird music and the jargon of many tongues. For here is a motley and polyglot throng of many peoples and of myriad languages. The turbaned Turk strides abreast the skirted Greek; the white shrouded Algeri an rubs elbows with the swarthy sneiK from the plains of Araby; the natty and bejeweled Persian doffs his fez to the ebony skinned belle of Ethiopia, while the stranger is jostled by a motley crew of Armenians, Albanians, Soudanese, Abyssinians and a host of others all dressed in their national costumes and pursuing their accustomed occupations with all the noise and confusion of the land of Allah, Mahomet and Buddah. A hustling, bustling, jostling throng arrayed in all the picturesque splendor of the Far East. Muleteers and musicians, camel drivers and contortionists, swordsmen and singing girls, dancers and dervishes, tumblers and tradesmen, jugglers and janizaries, houris and hawkers, acrobats and artisans, a shouting, singing, rollicking and good-natured crowd as one may wish to see. And how the sight-seeing and fun loving American crowds enjoy it! Yonder go a blushing bride and dashing groom spending a brief moment of their honeymoon on the swaying, lurching back of a camel; there a staid and steady old banker is being jolted along the Streets of Cairo on an equally sagacious donkey; here a motherly looking matron is seen clambering to the broad back of a kneeling elephant; old and young of both sexes and all stations catch the inflection of the moment and join in the jollity of the occasion. Busy politicians forget their plots and plans of party and faction to jounce up and down on the vertebrae of an Algerian ass; overworked business men torget tneircares m a camei riueanu laugh themselves red and reckless as they roll and pitch on the hurricane dock of this ambling "ship of the desert"; thoughtless students forsake their books and revel I in the delights of the Oriental theatre and i grizzled veterans share with roystering , youths their admiration of the grace and beauty of the dancing girls or the gruesome thrills evoked by the grotesque torture dance. i i i "And I Don't See Why He Lived." From Fairfax, \V. Va., says the New York Post, there comes to the American Casualty Insurance Company the following very self-explanatory epistle: | "Gentlemen : I found Charles A.

The Meaning of Dine Hands?Apoplexy's Warning Signals. Nature scarce ever strikes without .Warning. In so far as disease is concerned it gives clear signs of what is Impending days, weeks, months and even years before the attack. If people looked for these signs and took warn lng rrom uiern, tney wouiu escape much serious Illness and live many years longer than they do. It is indeed remarkable how careless we are in this respect. A man who will anxiously scan the sky for signs of coming rain lest his top hat may get spoiled will never dream of examining his eyes, nose or finger nails for signs of coming illness. The sneeze, for instance, is very significant It is always a sign that something is injuring the air passages anywhere from the nose down to the lungs. Should it be only a case of snuff or pepper, of course the sneeze is of no consequence. But often it is an indication of congestion. There is inflammation somewhere, with too much blood, and the object of the sneeze is to give relief by getting rid of some of the fluid. This sneeze is a warning that every prudent person should attend to. It is at least the forerunner of a cold. But it may indicate an approaching attack of bronchitis or pneumonia. When there is much sneezing, accompanied by something like a small shower of rain, the victim will do well to take a warm footbath, go to bed and adopt the other usual remedies to cure a cold. The winter cold itself is a grave warning. When it recurs two or three times every winter, it is sure to be followed in the end by chronic bronchitis. Once this comes on it is practically Incurable. Men are started on their lives much as a shell from a cannon?with a certain fixed quantity of energy. If disease or accident does not carry them off, they will die some time of what we call old age?in other words, when the energy with which they started is spent Some have energy enough to carry them over tne run century; oiuers have only sufficient to keep them going for ninety, eighty, seventy, sixty or fewer years. Now, early baldness Is a sure sign, with some exceptions, that the energy Is likely to fail sooner than In the average man. But all kinds of baldness have not this significance. Sometimes the loss of hair arises from scalp disease caused probably by microbes. The warning baldness Is that kind which commences about the temples and on the crovrn of the head and gradually eats its way over the scalp until only a circular fringe of hair Is left. Blue nails, or blue hands, betoken weak or obstructed circulation. They are a warning against overexertion of any kind. The obstruction may occur from disorder of several organs In the body. But most commonly the blueness Indicates that the heart Is not up to the mark. Yawning is a somewhat similar warning. It is a sign that the steam has run down and that it is time to go to bed or perhaps to go Into the open air. When you sit in a close room, the lungs do not receive sufficient of the vital gas, oxygen. The yawn Is then a desperate effort of the lungs to properly aerate the blood, and it warns you to open the -windows or to leave the room. When you are out of bed too long or when you have done an unusually hard day's work, the waste products of your body are present in excessive quantity. Then the yawn is a warning to you to lie down and rest Most people have a great horror of getting a "stroke" or fit of apoplexy. It is not by any means as unpleasant as the toothache, but the suddenness of it is what appalls. There is really no suddenness about it, however. No disease gives such early warning. A "stroke" is a very simple occurrence and not at all horrible. It results from two or three causes, but the most common one is this: A little artery in the brain wears out and lets some blood escape, which clots, presses on the brain and paralyzes whatever part of the body is governed by the piece of brain pressed upon. Now this artery wears out only in common with other arteries of the body. In some people they all become what is called atheromatous, or hard and brittle. At the same time they become tortuous or twisted. We can see these hard and tortuous arteries ou the temples, and then we know it is not safe to do anything which will congest the brain, lest the one little artery there, which is especially liable to give way, shall let the blood escape. Likewise warning is often given by the tiny arteries of the eye. They break and let out little traces of blood, which can easily be seen, but a cold or sleepless night may do the same. When these signs occur?and they occur months and years before the stroke?do not get excited or angry, no matter how great the provocation, do not rush to catch an omnibus or- in any way overexert yourself, and do not dine too heartily. By taking the warnings given by nature you will insure yourself against this pleasantest way of leaving the world and be sure or dying or cuoieia or smallpox or some other respectable disease.?London Mail.

The solemn exercises at the funeral of Mr. Black, a wealthy Brooklynite, were 1 marred by a most untoward occurrence, i He was a man of fads, but the one con- ; suming fad of his existence was for 1 musical Instruments?not the ordinary 1 piano and organ, but mechanical devices whereby harmonies were sounded by un- ( seen forces. For instance, as one enter- j ed the house some secret connection with t the door started the flattering strains of t "Hail to the Chief," to the accompaui- 1 ment of which the astonished guest was ushered into the reception room. Clocks 1 of every sort sounded fitting music to the 1 passing hours; in short, every piece of i furniture seemed in some way to be con- r neeted with a hidden orchestra. i Mr. Black's death was untimely; a hand 1 organ, with a new and wonderful com- i bination of every orchestral instrument t that blares, suddenly began a concert in i front of his house.

For two days the servants labor- t ed diligently disconnecting wires and re- 1 moving offending furniture. Atlastthey rested from their labors and the last sad hour arrived. The exercises were conducted in the house, and as the minister was concluding his panegyric on the departed a belated mourner entered and was shown to the one empty seat, a chair in an obscure corner. Silently the late , comer tiptoed to the chair and quietly sank into its depths. Instantly there pealed forth a loud chord and then without interruption came the loud, strident notes "There'll be a hot time in the old town to-night." All ef- i forts to silence the music were futile. In j notes that drowned the minister's voice i and were plainly audible for blocks the music continued and not until the last strain had died away was the minister able to conclude his remarks.?New York Tribune.

It brines sleep and rest when nothing else will, and gives strength and vitality even to one of my old age." "I am an old soldier," writes Mr. Geo. Watson, of Newton, la., "and I have been a great sufferer from nervousness, vertigo and spinal trouble. Have spent considerable money for medicine and doctors, but with little benefit I was so bad my mind showed signs of weakness. I began taking Dr. Miles' Nervine, and I know it saved mr life." MneV Nervine Saved me from the insane asylum," Mrs. A. M. Heifner, of Jerico Springs, Wo., writes. ~i was so nervous that I could scarcely control myself, could not sleep nor rest, would even forget the names of my own children at times.
