Daughter of Arthur St. Leger was Initiated in the First Two Degrees. Much nonsense has been printed from \ time to time relative to women who were reported to have been received into the Masonic Order?a few with a knowledge of their sex, but most by means of subterfuge. There are, however, authentic reports of the initiation of but one member of the sex. She was Mrs. Aid worth, the youngest child and only daughter of Arthur St. Leger, created first Viscount i v Doneraile, Ireland, June 23, 1703, and 1 ? - * ? ' - r JSlizabetU, daughter ana neiress ui uuuu Hayes, of Winchelsea. She was born about the year 1713, and was married to Richard Aldworth, of Newmarket, County Cork, who was the son of Sir Richard Aldworth, provost marshal of Munster. 4 The lodge in which she "Was initiated was No. 44 of Ireland. The warrant of lodge 44 was issued in 1735. It was a highly respectable lodge, including all the elite of the country around Doneraile, and its meetings were held often uqder the presidency of Lord Doneraile at his residence. It happened that on such occasion the lodge was held in a room separated from another by stud and brickwork. The subject of this sketch, being probably giddy and thoughtless, determined to gratify her curiosity. With a pair of scissors she removed a portion of a brick from the wall and placed herself so as to command a full view of everything which occurred in the next room. ' In this position she witnessed the first two degrees of Masonry, which was the extent of the proceedings of the lodge that night. From what she heard when the members of the lodge were about to separate for the first time she felt tremblingly alive to the awkwardness and danger of her situation, and began to consider how she could retire without observation. She became nervous and agitated, and stumbled against and overthrew a chair. The crash was loud and the tyler of the lodge, who was in the lobby, gave the alarm, burst open the door, and, with a light in one hand and a drawn sword in the other, appeared to the now terrified young woman. He was immediately joined by the members of th'e lodge present. They for the most part were furious at the transaction. She was placed under guaiyl of the tyler and a member in the room in which she had been found. The members reassembled and deliberated for two hours as to what was to be done. At length it was resolved to give the young woman the option of submitting to the Masonic ordeal to the extent she had witnessed it, and if she refused the members were again to consult. Miss St. Leger, exhausted and terrified, yielded, and was accordingly initiated. The other inmates of the house were in perfect ignorance of the transaction.?Chicago [ Chronicle. : I .

Fairfax, December 20.?Something of a sensation was created here this morning by what may or may not have been an attempt to commit suicide. A young white man, wearing a neat suit of clothes, black derby hat, clean shaven, and of good address, and seemingly not over 22 years old, giving his name as R. L. Goodwin and who says his home is in Camden, arrived here early this morning on train No. 31 from Columbia, and after daylight went to the home of Joe Fields, colored, and asked if he could get breakfast there, telling Fields that he would pay for it. He was told that breakfast would be prepared for him if he would wait awhile, which he consented to do. After eating breakfast he asked to be allowed to go in the "parlor," which request was granted. There was an organ in the room and he asked a colored woman in there to "play something," which she proceeded to do and he sang. In the meantime Fields had gone to the house of a friend nearly a mile away, but his wife came into the room and asked the young man to settle for the breakfast. He told her he would pay her husband when he came back, and as she left the room he exclaimed that he wanted to die, and immediately discharged a Smith & Wesson 38-calibre pistol which he had concealed under his left arm. The ball passed through his left arm above the elbow, but only made a flesh wound which is not serious. He said afterward that he aimed for his heart but"made a poor shot." He was somewhat under the influence of whiskey but was not thought to be drunk. He was arrested upon the charge of disorderly conduct and after being taken to Dr. W. J. Young and his wound hpirxr rlrpccprl hp irns nlapprl in thp <rnard ww?6 ~ .. ? r?-? ? o house. He told the town marshal tha't his conduct was the result f disappointed love. He is intelligent and must have been well raised. The people here will investigate and if it is found that the young man is laboring under temporary aberration of the mind he will be kindly treated. Letter to Simmons Hardware Co., Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sirs: Messrs Leachmau. & Edelin Grafton, W Ya, had been selling a paint, which they thought well of; and this had occurred. They had sold a customer 18 gallons of it to paint his house. A few years later, they sold the same man Devoe lead-andzinc the same number of gallons to paint the same house. He had 7 gallons left. The point of the tale is: 11 gallons Devoe paints an 18-gallon house. Do you want to sell it ? Of course, that isn't all. Why does 11 gallons Devoe go as far as 18 gallons of other paint ? Because it is all paint, all true, no sham, and full measure. Do you want to sell it ? But'that isn't all. Devoe lasts longer. No, no; you haven't got to wait ten years to find that out. Ten thousand people know it. We've got their names. Our agents know them; they think a heap of Devoe. There's no difficulty iu showing your townspeople what to expect of Devoe. $10 will paint a $15 house; and the paint'll last twice as long. tv *. ^ii ;? uv \ uu ? ant iv sen it: Yours truly F W Devoe & Co 33 New York / Marriage at Jenny. Jenny, December 19.?One of the prettiest home weddings ever witnessed in Barnwell county took place Thursday evening at the beautiful country home of Mr. J. D.Jenny when Miss Bessie Warren Jenny was united to Mr. Willie Aiken Rast, of Cameron, the Rev. Mark L. Carlise, D. D., of Columbia officiating, assisted by Rev. P. E. Monroe, of Ehrhardt. The entire house was brilliantly lighted, the lamps in the drawing, room, where the ceremony was performed, being beautifully softened with rose colored shades. The dining-room was in white and green. After some delay, due to belated trains, at 8:30 o'clock the signal was given by the opening chords of Mendelssohn's Wedding March. Dr. Carlisle and Mr. Monroe took their places first. Then came the attendants, Mr. Bob Evans, of Cameron with Miss Alice Sease; Dr. G. W. I. Loadholdt with Miss Lizzie Dreher, of Lexington; Mr. Wade Milev with Miss Jessie Johns; Mr. W. D. Sease with Miss Salome Wilson, of Salisbury, N. C. Then followed from the right the bridegroom with his best man, Mr. Harvey Taylor, of Cameron. The bride came from the left with her sister, Miss Addie Jennj-j as maid of honor. With soft music accompanying the two were made one by the solemn ritual of the Lutheran church. The bride was simply gowned in white organdie with long veil and orange blossoms, which rendered her gentle loveliness more striking than usual. Immediately after the ceremony the party retired to the dining-room where a most sumptuous repast was served, and feasting and merriment continued far into the night. Many useful and beautiful presents were received from the wide circle of friends of both bride and groom. Those from a distance who attended the marriage were: Dr. and Mrs. M. L. Carlisle, of Columbia; Mrs. D. W. Haigler, Messrs. H. E. Rast, G. B. Holman, T. S. Haigler, -Harvey Taylor, and Bob Evans, of Cameron. Much dismay was caused by the delay of train6 on the Seaboard but at last and not too late, the groom reached his waiting bride and their : happiness was complete. / AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER. ; ANDREW BENNETT SHOT AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDED LAST MONDAY NIGHT. ( Was Walking the Streets of Midway?Shooting j Occurred About Eight O'clock?Dave , Johnson Arrested for the Crime. { i Monday night a Httle after eight o'clock, | Andrew Bennett, a negro, was shot and ] seriously wounded while walking the 1 streets of Midway. The weapon used was | a shot-gun loaded with buck shot and a ] smaller shot known as duck shot or bb's. < V*A/1 1\aam f Vi A A n o Am A 1 JJCULLClb JUllU UCCU up lUCOUCCIiUUCUUlb errand, and was returning home in com- ! pany with his son, a short while after the up-train had passed. When near the residence of Mrs. Walker his attention : was called by some exclamation from his | son, "Look out, Pa," or something to that effect. He immediately turned round and just as he did, the man in his rear fired at him. The load struck in his left side, just at his vest and coat pockets, and ranged in front of his body, the force of the bullets being broken by a lot of papers and a large book which he carried in his inside coat pocket. These papers and book undoubtedly saved his life, for if the load had not struck them it would have entered straight into his body. Bennett immediately snatched a pistol from the hands of his son and commenced firing at his would-be-murderer, who turned and ran as soon as he had fired one more shot. Bennett fired three or four times at the fleeing man, none of which took effect. The man missed Bennett completely with* the second barrel, his first shot doing all the damage. Andrew said his first intention was to run the man down, and he took a few steps but found he was weak from his wounds and gave up the attempt. He and his son say they fully recognized the assassin, as he was only about twelve or fifteen feet away when he emptied his gun at Bennett. They claim that Dave Johnson, another negro, did the shooting. Immediately after the shooting Bennett's son came to town for a physician, and Dr. Bronson went down and dressed the wounds. The doctor says he cut out five shot which had lodged in the side and front part of the stomach, but that none penetrated the wall of the stomach, therefore he does not consider Bennett's injuries necessarily serious unless unlooked for complications arise. Bennett was struck by seventeen shot in all, some of which only entered the skin. Bennett's son made an affidavit before Magistrate Lightsey and a warrant was at once issued for Dave Johnson, charging him with the shooting. Constable Padgett and Mr. E. L. Price went down Tuesday rhorning and arrested him and he is now in jail. He does not say much about the shooting, but denies it, so we understand. Johnson and Bennettt have had trouble before. Our readers will remember the cases in court last April, where Johnson and others were indicted, charged with burn- J ing Bennett's barn and shooting at him, J while Bennett was indicted for assault i ! and battery with intent to kill on John- j | son's wife. The cftse against the John- 1 i sons was tried in April and they were ] found not guilty. The case against Ben- ] nett was postponed until the recent term ] of court, and he was also found not guilty, j There has been bad blood between the ' parties for some time, and it is thought by some that Johnson took this way of getting even. Others are of the opinion that Bennett '< and his son are mistaken in regard to 1 identifying Johnson, and that the attempted assassination grew out of an entirely different matter. But both Bennett and his son are positive that they recognized Johnson as the man who did the shooting. Magistrate Lightsey will hold a preliminary in the case just as soon as the extent of Bennett's injuries develop. When this hearing is held we may have some additional facts to report, as we understand there are other suspicious circumstances which connect Johnson with the shooting. "Were you at Miss Newgirl's coming out party?" "Yes, for a little while. But she hadn't got more than a third of the way out when I left, judging from her dress."

Sioux City, Ia., December 21.?An operation having no parallel in the surgical world was performed at St. Joseeph's hospital today by Dr. William Jepson, svho has the chair of surgery at at the State university. John Norstrum, of Danbury, Conn., fell from a load of hay, striking"on his head and breaking his neck. He has been almost paralyzed for several weeks, and Dr. Jepson decided to operate on his broken neck. Accordingly a portion of the third cervical vertebrae was removed, the false growth of tissue was cleaned out and the bone replaced. The patient is doing well, with every prospect of recovery. Operations have been performed for the relief of a dislocation of the lumbar vertebrae, but no other case is known in which the cervical situated so near the medulla oblongata, the seat of the vital bodily functions, has been successfully removed and replaced. My Childhood Home. The sun sinks slowly in the West, The day is nearly past, The tiny stars peep softly out, . And darkness is coming fast; I sit and dream of youthful days Of years of an earlier date, When my life was spent in careless glee, In my home in the "Lone Star State." I think of the old home left so long, Of the yard where I used to play, Of the old trees where I used to swing, In the cool of a Summer's day, Of the little^ brook with its rippling waves, Of the prairies I used to roam, And the broad green fields that stretch ed around My childhood's happy home. I think of my school days and the friends Who studied and played with me, They are dear to me now after many years As in childhood they used to be; But many changes have come since then, We have all gone separate ways, And some I shall never see again Whom I loved in my childhood days. We have blder grown and the future dim Into which we longed to see As we wondered what lot to each would fall Has been opened to them and to me. To many it brought sorrow, care, and grief, io otners a aesire 10 roam. To some it has brought in its open hand ' True love and a happy home. And some of my loved ones wait above Where the trials of life come not, They are done with%earth, its cares and joys, And theirs is a happier lot, They have won rewards for duties done, They have passed through Heaven's gate. And their flower strewn graves are growing green In my home in the "Lone Star State." So memory weaves its chain o'er me, And my thoughts are far away, While the night-dews fall and silently Fades the last gleaming of day, And the tear drops fall as I sighfor home, And my heart in longing great Calls for one more sight of my dear old friends And my home in the "Lone Star State." A. D. J. Marriage at Colston. Mr. David P. Smith, of the Ehrhardt section, and Miss Tossie Rentz, a daughter Df Mr. Calvin Rentz, were happily married Tuesday afternoon at the home of the bride's father in the Colston section. Rev. E. W. Peeples was the officiating minister. A splendid reception was tendered the young couple the same evening, which was largely attended by their many friends. Wednesday they went to their borne near Ehrhardt. Both bride and groom are exceedingly popular among a large circle of friends, who extend sincere congratulations and good wishes.

Moore, a prominent lawyer of Kansas City, on returning to his home from Arkansas a few days ago, told a good story concerning a distinguished attorney in Western Arkansas, Judge James F. Read, who was born and lived in Kentucky before moving to this State. It runs this way: UA man living near Fort Smith died. This man was comfortably well off in worldly possessions, but he had been neglectful of his spiritual welfare. He had never joined any church and had little to do with religious advisers. The time for his funeral arrived, and, although a Baptist preacher had agreed to be on hand, an unavoidable accident had delayed him. The house was out of town, and as the friends of the departed brother were all assembled Judge Read was asked to make a few remarks over the body of his friend, who had also once lived in Kentuckv. The Judge consented. " 'My friends,' he said, 'we are gathered here to-day to pay a final tribute to our friend who has already solved the mysteries of the great hereafter. He did not bave the reputation of a religious man, onrl hp livpJ the life of a noble Ken tucky gentleman. He had good horses and he ran 'em. He had good seegars and he smoked 'em. He had good -whiskey and he drank it. He had good game cocks and he fit 'em, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven.' '?Arkansas Gazette. An Engaging Man. "There was a drummer who took sick and died here three weeks ago," said the landlord of the tavern at Polkville, Ark. 'He was a thick-set, guitar-playin' sort of feller, and the girl he was engaged to narry came over from Torpidville to attend the funeral; also from Waupsey; also from Peapack; also from Tonganoxie; also from som'ers in Kansas, and some place up in Missouri.
