PL Behind the Scenes. The Tillman trial is serving, in its colft ' lateral features, to present to the people tbc State some pictures of the inner life of politicians of a certaiu stripe, who JF control the affairs of Sooth Carolina. ThroughJhe curtain of the tragedy which ^ brought Tillman to the bar the world gets pr glimpses of the official habits and routine / of daily life at Columbia. It appears that "pistol toting" is very general among the State officials. When the Lieutenant ' Governor's "gun" was out of order he bor ittk rowed one from the head of the dispen^^ ^w&nsary institution, and another from one ^^^~Srthe employees of the Senate executive , force and these and his own, when It was , r , repaired, were about the room of the i president of the Senate, on the mantel piece or the wash stand or some other v v> careless location. During the political M campaign, in which Tillman was a candidate for Governor, he had in his satchel a W pistol which one of the candidates for \ ' ' Lieutenant Governor at the same time? , |s> who had alsobeen a member of the Legis- , latere and a Presidential elector?said he , %, "had an idea" was his. There is no lack , ^iLarms among the officers and the candiv, _ dateg.that's evident. j Ana The dispensary is not without per- , sonal patronage and support as well as political sustenance in the halls and corri- , dors and executive rooms of the Legisla- ( l tore. From , the stenographic report of J Tillman's testimony on Friday the fol- J f JU*IUK1B MIICU. Q. You had a bottle, you say, that day gp in your pocket? A. I sent down the k street, Col. Croft, sent old George down the street, and some members of ?the , Bj^. Legislature and myself took a drink to- j B ^^g^ther in the president's senate room. I B d^rot recollect whether they drank all W or not, but the general rule is that they I' generally drink it all up when it hits a legislative crowd; might have been some left in it and I possibly may have taken it to the hotel, but I do not recollect. ^?Little chance has a bottle of whiskey J* A ^ jmat "hits a legislative crowd," it would seem, and the dispensary revenues-must be materially increased by official patronage during the meeting of the General Assembly, unless the consumption in the State House is from the stock of "samples" at the institution. That the former Lieutenant Governor made no mistake in his estimate of the t average legislator's disposition to liquor is shown by individual testimony of a member of that honorable body, who appeared '1^ a witness for the defense in the trial- , now closing. Mr. J. M. Mabaffey, a member from Spartanburg, being cross examined by Mr. Bellinger, for the State, , set forth according to the stenographic ' report, as follows. - \ Q.

Some Observations on the Horrors that Attend a Slaver of his Fellow Man?Some Famous South Carolina Killings. This thing of taking the life of a human jeing except in self-defence, during e.\:itement or on the field of battle, is a terrible thing and unless a man be hardened uto brutality and is utterly devoid of conicience it will haunt him to his dying day. Three times during my career i have ueiberately made up my mind to kill, but ietermined to make my antagonists first ;he assailants and to give them a fair showing, and thus put my own life in jeopardy. But when the necessity for any such encounter had passed the feeling of relief was indescribable. Thousands upon thousands of useful ind brilliant lives have been blighted and rendered miserable bvthe takingof human life; and even when the killing was justified in the sight of both man and by the laws of the land, the curse of Cain followed the slayer his entire day's. My father, I think, was with the Hon. Wm. L. Yancey, the great Secession leader, when he killed Dr. Earle, of Green viile. They were boys together, were warm friends, and I have often heard my father speak of the circumstance. Yancey killed Earle as the latter was advancing upon him with an upraised walking cane, and when the fatal shot was fired. Just before the beginning of the late war between the States my father and Mr. Yancey met in Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Yancey, in discussing the tragedy, stated that he had no intention of shooting Dr. Earle, but the encounter took place in the piazza of the post-office, an old wooden building opposite the Mansion House in Greenville, and which piazza had no railing, being several feet from the ground. Dr. Earle attacked Mr. Yancey because he had slapped the face of his little sou, Elias, there being no very kind feeling between the two men. Dr. Earle raised his cane and advanced ou Mr. Yancey, who drew his pistol, presented it and retreated backward. Mr. Yancey stated that he had no intentiou of shooting the Doctor, but wanted to intimidate him. In stepping backward he felt that he had reached the extreme end of the piazza and, iu order to prevent falling off, had inadvertently pressed the trigger. But, this great Southern statesman told my father, he would freely give fame, j fortune and all he possessed and again start life a poor, ignorant and obscure man, could he, by so doing, only wipe that blood from his hands; that often, iu the midst of his most brilliant orations, would he see the figure of Dr. Earle, as be appeared with that upraised cane aud when the tragedy was enacted, rise before bim. It haunted him day and night, and while he was justified in the killing and the sentence imposed by the law was light, his life was unending remorse and self-reproach. Years after the killing,1 when Mr. Yancey returned to visit his j mother-in-law , Mrs. Earle, in Greenville j and Elias had grown to manhood, the young man, who had innocently caused i the death of his father, appeared before the gate with shotgun in hand and asked to see Col. Yancey. Mr. Yaucey, from behind the closed door, told Elias to go; away aud he would return to Alabama and not Visit ureenvuie again ; mm ue bad more of the Earle blood then upon bis bands tban be could ever wash away and did not want any more. Tbis visit would probably bave resulted fatally bad nottbeold lady, wbo like all of the Earles, was as brave as a lion, seized a shotgun and told Elias that he must go away and not further molest ber guest, aud that if be attempted any violence toward Yancey be must first fire through her. The next day Mr. Yancey left for Alabama and did not return again, I think, to South Carolina until as delegate to the Charleston Conventiou. If the killing of a human being can be made justifiable it was that of Bynum by' Perry. Bynum was a noted duellist, anil bad been employed to provoke Perry into a fight and take bis life. The two meu represented extreme factions in South Carolina politics, and which were as bitter as in the days of Tillmanism and Conservatism. Bynum was an expert with the pistol, and bad killed, so I am told, more tban one man. Ou the other band, I Perry had but little if any practice with Hi*t. wA?nnn h#?inir a man of neaee. but undoubted courage. But Perry's steady nerve and cool bead proved superior to the skill of his antagonist, who was killed at the first fire, and his grave is still j pointed out at the old historic Rock Church, near Clemson College. But even the knowledge that this duel had been forced on him, and that his enemy was givien an equal, if not better, showing for his life, could never wipe the red stain from the tender conscience of Governor Perry. One of his sons told me he never heard the subject mentioned but once in his father's presence, when his face grew deathly pale, he raised his hand, and stated that he never again wanted to hear that duel spoken of by any member of his family. That the horror of that tragedy, committed on a little island in the Savannah River, haunted this great, and good man all his days, is not doubted, and it cast a dark cloud over a brilliant and useful life. I have known a great many men who had taken human life, under all manner of circumstanres, aud without a single exception they wore the brand of Cain upon their brows. There was no pleasures or happiness in life for them. Their existence was one long reign of remorse and Rfdf-renroach. and if thev did not manifest the same by word of mouth, it could be seen in the restless eye, and nervous starting at every uuusual noise. Many turned for consolatiou to drink, and which only added fuel to the internal fires that ever burned within thera. 0ther9 prospered, but during those intervals when the mind was permitted to wander back to the past, a look of haggard misery overspread their faces. The brand of Cain was fixed upou the brows af those shedders of human blood by Divine vengeance, and only death could erase it. I remember, while living in Oglethorpe bounty, Georgia, talking with a young friend of mine who had gone with a party to chastise a negro for a reported insult to a white woman. This young man was stationed at a window, through which the negro endeavored to escape. He fired on the man and shot him dead, his body hanging over the sill. This young man, aud who was a successful merchant, stated to me that he afterwards discovered that he had killed au innocent and slandered man, aud the party who had made up the story was enraged against the negro because he inteuded to leave iiis farm and he wanted to have him chastised. But my young friend stated to me ;hat his whole life was blighted, and his mtire existence one of miser}' aud reuorse; that the sight of the poor negro launted him all day long and was a constant nightmare. Freely would lie give jp all he possessed, and become a convict n stripes, to have that stain washed from lis conscience. He often felt that did je possess the wealth of the world he vould freely give it for even one day's elief from the agony of mind that pursued him, and that he might experience he feeling of innocence he knew before hat wretched night. Were this globe of ours coined into ^old, and placed at my disposal to take he life of the most debased and miserable luman beiug that walks the earth, even mder the most justifiable circumstances, [ would scorn the bribe. Unless a mau, as I have stated, has a neart seared with siu, and is incapable of Feeling remorse, I sometimes think it would be an act of mercy aud kindness For the laws of his country to put him to death, after wilfully and deliberately taking the life of a fellow man. A jury may acquit him, and he may live a long life, applauded and honored by the world, but there beats in his breast an inner monitor, and which will ever keep him reminded of that dark deed. His entire existence will be one prolonged agony, and there will ever walk by his side in day, and repose upon his pillow at night, an unseen spectre of the dead man, and from which terrible and constant visitor there is no escape. The murderer is reminded of the fa?e that awaits him by the Bible aud which commands that "He who sheds man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." I admit that there are occasions when it becomes imperatively necessary to take human life, but my greatest hope and desire is that no such dread alternative shall ever be forced upon myself. I had sooner go to my grave the victim of auothcr, than spend my days on earth with hands dripping with the life-blood of any one created in God's own image. Life is sweet, but it is anything but sweet to the red-handed murderer. In penning this article I had no individual case in mind, but give it as the observation of my life and a warning.? T. Larrv Gantt, in the Spartanburg Herald. " < Woman. Lovely Woman. A girl in this town had a proposal of marriage Sunday night and asked a week to consider it before filling her answer. She then organized herself into an investigating committee and commenced taking testimony from the married women of her acquaintance. The first one she visited used to be a belle and the most admired girl in town before she was married six years ago. The cross-examination brought out the fact that she had three children, did all her own work, including washing and ironing, and hadn't been down town in four weeks, and that her husband didn't give her but $2 since she was married, and that he had borrowed and forgot to pay back $10 which her brother gave her once as a Christmas present. He bought him a new overcoat with the money while she wore the same plush coat that she wore when he was courting her. Another woman whom she visited quit teaching school three years ago to marry "the handsomest and best dressed man in town," and she is now supporting him. A third didn't dare say her soul was her own when her husband was around, though she used to write some lovely essays when she was in the school ou the "Emancipation of Women." And the fourth woman she visited was divorced. After visiting them and summing up the evidence she went home and wrote to the young man. She will be married next month.?Minneapolis (Kan.) Messenger.

"One of the strangest instances of animal devotion of which I ever heard was that of the favorite horse of my brother. Major Frederick W. Matteson," said Mrs. Clara M.

"Duriug my brother's illness his favorite horse Sahib was tethered a mile away from the wilderness of tents in a small cleared enclosure. One morning the groom, who visited the horse daily, was unable to find it, and after searching for two hours came to report the loss to my brother. Imagine his surprise to find the animal contentedly standing in the tent with its head touching my sick brother's breast. "The horse had broken away from where it had been tied and found its way to the tent alone. It persisted in staying near the tent, and the soldiers, moved by its devotion, did not attempt to drive it away.

Some Philadelphians visited Richmond, Va., and asking as to the use of this and that large building, were told in every case that it was a tobacco factory. An aged negro gave them the information, and they, tiring of the monotony of the reply, pointed to a white frame building on a hill, and asked whose tobacco factory that was. The old fellow replied: "Dat, sab, am no fact-ry. Dat am S'n John's Piscopal Church, where Marse Patrick Heury done get up an' ax de Lawd to gib him liberty or gib him deaf."

The strangest and probably the wildest honeymoon on record was begun here e few days ago, says the Los Angeles cor respondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean Two young Gennau people are the par ticipants of this unique and hazardoustrip. John Drast, the bridegroom, cairn to America about five months ago with the avowed purpose of journeying the frozen north in search of fox skins. On his way across the continent he met tht girl who is now his bride. He told hei of his plans, and rather than wait until until his return before marrying she sug gested that he take her along with him and that the trip be made their honeymoon. Drast is 21 and his wife 22 yearsof age. The boat that carries them, the Alert, has been plying about these waters foi many years, and, although worn with age considerably, is looked upon by those familiar with her gear as a good craft for almost anv kind of weather. She is too small, however, to attempt a trip over so vast and rough a body of water. The Alert is a sloop rigged craft measuring about 33 feet over all, with a 12-foot beam. She was purchased from a San Pedro fisherman for $300. The couple carried with them about $250 worth of provisions, which are expected to last the voyagers until they reach their destination. Drastand his wife aregoing.to a point 600 miles east of Mackenzie river, which flows into the Arctic ocean, in search ol black fox, whose skins are very valuable. They expect to spend the winter somewhere en route and proceed further next summer. Drast said he would probably return to this section in three years. Sau Francisco will be the only stop made between here and the Bering Sea. It is the intention of the German to head his boat out to sea after leaving the northern metropolis, as it will shorten his voyage considerably. Drast seemed to understand the nature of his voyage exactly, but his little girl wife stood by and wondered what to think of it, at the same time manifesting all confidence in her boyish husband. To an acquaintance at Terminal Island Drast remarked that be had spent thirty-two months in the Arctic region, and that he was perfectly familiar with the country. He said that he was raised on the water and had been a mate on one of the largest German liners for many ? ~ ? *l.

Wright, an authority upon questions of labor, passed a good part of his boyhood in the New Hampshire town of Dunbarton. There used to live near Dunbarton a physician remarkable for his pigheaded stupidity. Mr. Wright said of him recently: "A good story about this physician used to circulate in our town. According to it, an old woman stopped his gig one day, and pointed toward a house with crape on the door. " 'So, doctor,' she said maliciously, 'Mr. Brown is dead, for all you promised to u:? ..i.y) cure itiiu, cu: "The doctor looked at her in his pompous, stupid way. "'You're mistaken,'he said. 'You did not follow the progress of the case. It's true Mr. Brown is dead buthe died cured'." He Learned a Great Truth.

TWO STOCK EXCHANGES. Differences Between the New York and Berlin Institution*. If any member of the New York Stock Exchange who is entirely unacquainted with German speculation should visit the Berlin bourse he would find at every point the mo9t striking divergencies from his home experience. He would be surprised to see the bourse attended by quite 2*000 persons including clerks of banks, newspaper men and even visitors like himself Also, he would be Interested in the immense size of the hall-^300 feet long, divided by colonnades into three sections, one of which is assigned to the Produce Exchange. On one side of the hall several doors open into a grassy court, shaded by trees and surrounded by a pillared lobby, where brokers sit in dull summer days and float their latest stock of anecdotes." That shaded court is suggestive ol deeper differences between the New York Stock Exchange and the Berlir institution. In New York the numbei of members is fixed and is small in pro portion to the immense volume of business done. In Berlin there is a great horde of small dealers, and the amount of trading is much less than in New York. Owing to the easy terms of ad mission, the bourse becomes a mer< place where traders meet to effect theii transactions. There is no sale of seats In fact, no membership fee exists, bu1 only a small yearly tax is collected which varies from time to time as the expenses of the organization require Contrary to New York practice, mem bership is largely held by companies and firms. Nearly all the banks of tb< city, for example, are members, and the more important ones keep above s score of their employees on the floor Thus the individual New York broker as a rule, counts for vastly more thar a member of the bourse. New York is concentrated, is intense. Berlin dis perses its energy, and is comparativelj dull. It knows nothing of those greal days of triumph or disaster that rendei the annals of Wall street picturesque And it lacks our large daring operators who startle the country with their bold schemes.?William C.
