The game wore on. The banker, who sat at the head of the table, was kept busy selling stacks of chips. The betting was heavy, and there wero but two men who seemed to be winning aiything. The blue chips all came their way. It was simply a case of bullheaded luck. If a man held four kings, one of this pair would bob up with four aces or a straight Aush or something of the kind and spoil all calculations. It was exasperating, but it couldn't be helped. Meantime the two lucky players con. versed cheerfully about their luck and what they intended to do with the mon ey. "I shall, " said one, "go down to a fur store and buy my wife that cape she has been wanting so long. I know it is rather late in the season, but this is an experience of a lifetime, -and I don't think that it will spoil by the keeping. "I shall, " said the other, "take part of mine and get a new spring suit. With the rest of it I intend to take a trip to New York. I haven't been down there in a year, and I'm . just about due for some fun. ". The game continued to wear on, and the other players cursed their luck be neath their various breaths. It came tobo midnight, and 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock, and the game was still in progress. The two men were still win. ning. Nothing could stop them. At 8 o'clock everybody was tired, and it was decided to 1uit. The table in front of the two lucky men was covered with chips. The banker pushed back his chair and said, "I aft ready to settle, gentlemen. " It didn't take long to settle with the men who had not been lucky. Then it came to be the turn of the lucky ones. "How much have you got, Jim?" asked the banker. "Three hundred and forty," replied Jim. "And you, Bill?" "An even 400. " The banker took a slip of paper and did some figuring. Then lie dove down into one of his pookets and produced some thin white slips of paper. "Here's yours, Jim, " he said, pushing two slips across the table, "and here's yours, Bill. " "What are these?" asked the two lucky men in concert. "I. 0. U.'s, " the banker answered sententiously. The two lucky men gasped. They looked at the papers and saw that th( signatures were genuine. Then they tor( them up and stalked out together. "By George," said the banker, " thought they would never get enoug Won to pay off those L 0. U.'s.

In the laboratory the growth of a plani may be rendered visible by attaching a fine platinum wire to the stem or grow. ing part. The other end of the wire, tc ihich is fastened a pointed piece of char coal, is pressed gently against a drum. The drum is covered with white paper and kept revolving by clockwork. Of course if the growth is stationary a straight line is marked on the paper, but even the slightest increase is shown by the inclined tracing on the paper. By a simple modification of this ar rangement, the growth of a plant can be rendered audible. The drum must be covered by narrow strips of platinum foil, say one-eighth of an inch wide and one-eighth between each strip. If the strips of platinum be made to complete the circuit of a galvanic bat tory to which an electric bell is coupled up, then the bell will continue ringing while the plant grows an eighth of an inch, followed by silence while the pointer is passing ever the space between two strips, for the next growth of an eighth of an inch, and so on. The growth of seome very rapidly grow ing plants and the opening of some flow bire, such as the compass plant, can be heard direct by moans of the micro. phone. By the above means it has been proved. that plant. grow meat rapidly between 4 and 0 a. m.--New York Jour. nal. _______ Kept IHer WVord.

But instead of boeldini the faces of the men they so fondly hoped for they saw their own. "We car see nothing but our own faces, " said one.

The following article from Gov ernor Tillman's pen appears in the May number of the North Ameri can Review under tho caption of "Our Whiskey Rebellion." The attein tion of the United States has for more than a year boon directed to South Carolina. This State has ondeavored to solvo the liquor problem, a troublesome one to all govornments in a man nor so novel as to bo startling. So much has been published about the Dispensary law in the papers and magazines of the Union that its scope and purpose aro well known, and oxplanations on those .points are not needed in this arti cle. History bears out the assertion that whenever rostriction or pro hibition of the liquor trafic is at tempted resistanco, either politi cal jor by f o r c e, is attempted. When South Carolina sought a so lution of this troublesome problem, and tried to solve it by passage of the Dispensary law, the inovitable conflict with the whiskey olomont was expected, nor has the expecta tion boon without fulfilment. The general conditions can easily be understood, for they would provail in any other State wore a similar law onacted there; but the struggle between the whiskey and anti-whis key elements in South Carolina has been intensified by conditions peculiar to the State of South Ca rolina and which wouhlnot obtain elsewhere. I will briefly outline these local conditions, so that the cause and violence of the whiskoy rebellion can be seen at a glanco. Prior to 1890, under a vicious sys term of party politics, the control of the government of the State was in the hands of the remnants of the old slave-holding aristocracy, 3 which had saddled upon the Stato a condition of affairs resembling t as much as possible that prevalent before the war of 1861-65. A com plete return of those conditions, the outcome of that war had ron derod impossible. I led a fight inside the Democratic party, the white man's party, to free the State from tho rule of those old Bour bons, who wanted the reins of gov ernment to rest entirely in the hands of themsolves and thoso who would be subservient to their will. After a canvass of the State from one end to the other, meeting on the stump two representatives of the old order of things, I receivodl the nomination of the Democratic party regularly and by an unex ampled majority; but the old1 aris tocratic element would not submit, and ran an independent ticket at the regular election, appealhng to the negroes for votes. I was elect od1 by an overwhelming majority, the greater part of my support coming from the agricultural clas ses, which had until thon boon practically deprived of a voice in the selection of the officers of the State government. The old Bour bon element had control of the press and the banks. Among them were the best trained intellects of the State, and these all kept war ring upon the new order of things. Traking the position that naught good could come out of Nazareth, they opposed every act of my administration, which has boon for the masses as against the classes. In 1892, after another hot can vass, I was re-elected Governor, obtaining an increased majority. 'Thlo Bourbons began to see that they could never be returned to power by the vote of the peolhe, and commenced casting about for new combinations and devices by which to regain power. In the fall of 1892 the General Assembly passed the Dispensary Act as o compromise betweon the wishes of the ultra-prohibitionists andl the whiskey people. This law gets rid of the worst features of the liquor traffic, while not removing liquor beyond the reach of those who desire to drink it in mnodera tion. It was natural that the men who had boon engaged in the liquor business should try to evade the law and sell liqiuor in violation of it. They opened "blind tigers" for r the sale of contraband liquors. The Dispensary law nrovidna fo, the commisson of whatever nume bor of constables was deemed neces sary. for the discovery and sun prossion of these places. The Bourbons made this feature the point of attack upon the law; their many papers hounded down these men, calling thom "spios" and 'snoaks," and applying to them all manner of abusive opithets, thus sooking to stir up against them the angor of tho peopl in tho towns and citios, tho inhabitants of which constitute the opposition to the Roform movement which resulted in my election. Almost all the work of those constables had to be done in those cities, which made it easier to create bitter, unreasoning projudico against them. Every daily paper in the State, save one is under the control of the "antis," as they are called, and these have spared no effort in the attempt to stir up anger against the consta. blos, the law under thich they op. Drate, and the administration which onacted that law. Realiz ing the offect of the assertion that liberty is in danger, they used that sacred name in the appeal for sub version of the Dispensary law and the retirement frorn authority of those who are responsible for it. The law gives the constables, when armed with proper warrants from the civil authorities, the right to search private residences for the seizure of contraband liquors. Were this provision absent from the law, it would be practically inoperative, as mon would turn their private residences into "blind tigors," whoro thoy would sell li quor with impunity. The papers supporting the combination of the whiskey men and the old political leaders alleged that the Dispensary law gavo the constables the right to search private residences indis criminately and without warrant, which is something to which Anglo. Saxon blood will not submit. Thes falsehoods stirred up bitter, un reasoning passion in the cities ani towns against the constables, an< throats were froely made agains them. Being in danger of bodily harm, after having been mobbod and pelted with rotton eggs on more than one occasion, the con stables were armed for their own protection. Hypocritical use was made of the old adage that "A man's home is his castle," to incito violence. "A man's home is his castle," but ho has no right to turn it into a saloon andl expect to exercise thme same rights there he wvould have in a private dwvelling. These were the conditions of thought and feeling existing at the time of the whiskey rebellion, which broke out last month. The towns of Darlington, Flor ence and Sumter are points of a triangle connected by railroads. Darlington and Florence are ten miles apart and both are about forty miles from Sumter. Certain people in those towns banded to gether for opposition to the Dis pensary law, especially the con stabulary feature of it. Several constables were sent to Darlington. The leaders of the conspirators spread broad reports that the con stables were there for the purpose of searching private houses with out warrants. This was 'not true; the constables, under the Dispen nary law, could not search private residences without warrants, and they had no intention of searching any residene in Darlington-all of their warrants being for the search of public places where con traband liquors were stored and sold. But the false report was spread and and had its due effect wheni the execution of the warrants bogan. Large numbers of armed men gathered on the streets for the protection of a "liberty" which was not in danger. The five or six constables in Darlington were fol lowed by this armed mob wvhich guyed, cursed and abused them. I thereupon ordered the chief con stable by telegraph to proceed to the scene with reinforcements. The six constables on the ground being in danger, I sent a military company from Sumpter to Dar lington for their protection while in discharge of their duties s offi cers of the State carrying out onc of its laws. The mob quieted down at once, and the militar company returnad anma the mamri ing following its arrival in Dar lington. In the afternoon of the day of tho departuro of the compa ny, four of the contablos, thoir work being done, wont to one dopot and the othorninotoon to the othor, to dopart. Two boys, citizens of Darlington, got into a fight ai the depot whero the main body of con stables was. Ono of thiom, who was whipped ad rani I) towv'n re turned, followod ,Iby an a1-med mob A wrangle of startod a light between this mob aidi the consta blos and two of tho mob wore killed, and several constables and citizeis were wounded. When the mob were put to fight, tho constables themselves took to the woods neai by, for they know that tho fly ing mob would roturn minforced bv hundreds of armed follow coisim. ators. Such was the outcomo. The town bell was rung as a tecsin to the conspirators, an(d they turn od out in the twinkling of an eyo, all heavily arled. Th, o'onellstables wero pursued andl tli conspi rators in Floronco and Sumitor, beiig called out' by tolograpi, joiil in the pursuit. Fortunatoly iight soon caimo on and none of th elas ing parties cmflitio up with t ho es caping constabulary, or olso more blood would havo hooin shed. The disposition of conspirators it ox termiinato the constabulivy is shown by tho fact that tho tra in containing the four constablos who had gono to the other dopot. off tho town and had taken no part in the fight., was riddled wNith hllets fir ed in a desporato at1em)l tio kill thom as it camo by oi i1 way to Charleston. The mob took possession of the three towns, committing many acts of violence. iII Sum ter, where the first mobbing (d Dispensary constablea took placo there is one of the best managei Dispensaries in the State, ail the police authorities have a! - sisted in the enforcement of th Dispensary law. The part thi i town-took in the rebellion va confined to the going out of it most lawless and turbulent citi zens to aid in the chase of th< constables. Under the Dispensary law part of the profits of the Diispen sary goes to the towns in whicl they are located, provided th< authorities of these towiis assis in the enforcement of the law In casos where mnicip~al au thorities fail to help enforce tii, law, the State Board of Contr'o is vested with authority to with hold from such towvns the shar< of the profits that wouldl other wise come to them. On thie morning when the constablet were first maltreated in Darling. ton the municipal authorities ol that town were notified that they would receive no share of tihe profits fronm the lDispensaries located in that town, because they had failed to (10 theii' duty towards the enforcement of the law. A similar notice had been given to the council at Floren~e. This added to the anger of the mob, and had much to (10 withi inciting the mob in Florence tc looting tile dispensary there. I was informed by the shierinf that tihe civil authorities were powver. less in D~arlingtont and wvas asked tr order out tile militia. 1 did so, oi dering out att firsit five comipaniel nearest the scenie-three at ColumblIia one at Mannmng, and One at smter The old political Boarbons, aide~d by~ tile whiskey element, brought sneul pressure to bear upon the c oImpanu i. in Columbia that they refused to obey the orders of their CJommiander in. Chief. The Columnba compan)~iesC se the example, anid it was followed by the other two companies I ordered out, Thirteenl of the town coimpa nies, and the entire Fourth Brigade, composed of the troops of Charlest-mu; refused to turn out when ordered to do so. The armories of two compal~ flies in Columbia, one mi Florence, and one in Chester were broken into anid their guns stolen, possibly with the connivance of lmmbers of the. com-l panies. The idea was that I n ould beleft powerless, and that simuilar disorder could be created ini other cities, making it neceseairy for thec United States gover'nment to takt charge of the State, thus atccomp~ilie d their determinatioin to overthrow mfl administration and restore thiemselv.. to power by my dowiifall. Butan. military companies, without regarid t< politics, remainedl trute to their allegi an~ce, and the yeomanry of the Stat volunteered for duty in such number as showed the conspirators that the were powerless. H-ad 1 doemorl necessary, I could in forty-cight houw after issuance of the call have had ie armed force of 10,000 farmers at nr command. But thig ...no eca rv; my determinstion to uphold the laws of the State and to protect its oflicers. and the fact that Iwould- be suipported by tho best critzens of the State, 0verawod the conspirators and they sibsided.
