' after reaching fcitke Superior the wim
began to freshen up from Hie northwest
and a great band of laden clouds alonj
the nothern horizon denoted the ap
proach of heavy weather. Realizing
however, that the Algonia was one o
the strongest and most powerful steam
ers afloat and well able to cope with evei
a severe gale, Cujit. Moore kept her 01
her course. Pat as night appronchet
the wind continued to increase ii
violence, and by (lark had develops
into one of the fiercest and tuos
destructive pales ever experienced 01
the upper lakes. As the pale increase,
the sea began to make, and before mid
night Lake Superior was lushed into ;
wilderness of seething foam, while tin
tempest screeched and howled and grea
seas swept completely over the struggling
steamer. The Kituition was madi

beyond measure and momentarily
expected to see the steamer plunge ti
the bottom. By the instructions of Captain
Moore the officers circulated ainonj.
the passengers, trying to allay their fears
They were- panic-stricken, however, an.<;
huddted together in the cabin, where tlu
screams and prayers of women and
* children could be heard abovu the thundering
of the gale.
Saturday morning isle Royal was sighted
and Capt. Moore headed the stcamci
for Rock Harbor, where he hoped tc
i gain shelter. The island forms a natural
harbor of refuge, but near the entrance
there is a dangerous reef, and jusi
as the steamer was nearing the entranct
she struck the reef. There was a terrillii

on a reef," replied the captain, "but il
you will only keep ca'm as possible-, ]
trust all will be saftly landed." Juki
then one of the crew leportcd that th<
steamer's bottom had been puncturcc
and that she was filling with water. Th<
boat* were at once got in readiness am:
all starred to leave the steamer, but jus
Ias they were about to lower them th<

sometimes allows his busy brain to gl
wander away from the monotonous rou- tl

One of the editors of the Atlanta Con- tl

the other day, and in a moment of in- T

follows : w
Before the spring comes again I am w

hog-killing. I don't know where, but j in
somewhere. Where there is a ramb- j f<

across it. A horse lot, a cow* lot, a w
corn crib, ami a barn. Near by a row m
of negro cabins, guarded by Hop-eared M
hounds. Inside the bouse a yawning S
lire place with a wood fire, and a featb- T
er bed that you climb into. ti
There I shall find myself some k
night this winter. 'Jhere after a fru- tl
gal supper, eaten while the clucking T
chickens awkwardly flutter into the M
trees, 1 shall tuck myself into the feath- :
I
or bed. There 1 shall sleep while the hi
stars sow the glistening frost, anil t:i
await the strenuous winding of the N
horn that summons all hands to the T
lires that curl about the scalding ket- t<i
ties. In
That far will I go in all uespite.? tl
What shall follo?v, depends. Whether f'
I shall liiul it in my bones to caper
about the singing kettles, and toast w
hands no longer chubby in the leaping M
flames, and chase bladders down the c<
frostv winds?depends. Whether I 01
shall rush for my share of pig tails si
roasted in the honest embers, and oat
in open air the hastily cooked tid bits, fo
glorious foretaste of the latter fatty <l<
bread and spare-ribs ? depends. ? ki
Whether 1 shall stulf myself to reple- n<
tion on sausage redolent of sage, or ni

gouge with impatient finger the mar- 's
row from the backbones, gorge. on '1;
cracklings and on brains, and turn
with appetite still tincloyed to the hum- ti
bio but not-to-bo-sneezed-at chitter- o"
lings?depend*. Whether, even, 1 01
shall look with more than casual con- si
corn at the patient housewife as she C
renders the lard into snow white Hakes,
or listen with li:ss than impatience to m
the broken grasps and sighs of the <n
overchoked sausage mill, or look with h<
less than awe on the dimly lighted J"
smokehouse with its smoky rafters, tli
the rich loam of its llnor and its rdor- th
ons pit wit!! its smothered tire of whiteoak

this semi-barbaric festival of the south. cj
At any ' event I am going to try it? ,n

"Voting at Long Hange. 1 [
Gt
The Lynchburg (Va.) Advance says : .
'.J udge George W.Ward, who is still
confined to his room from the injuries
sustained by being shot down in the
street several weeks ago by Dr. White,
proved himself a noble pati t last M
Tuesday. His rooms arc in the third zt
story of a building on Main street, in n<
Abingdon, and the voting place was ^
nearl}' one hundred yards away, on the
opposite side of the street. The judge
had himself placed at a window in sight m
of the polls, and a string stretched from th
the window to tho box, tied his ballot ,n
to a key through the handle of which ^
tho string was passod and "lot-her
slide." Tho crier recognized him, cried A
his vote, anil the ballot was deposited ,e
in the box. The achievement is worthy
of being handed down for the emulation s*
of the next generation." The report M
that Judge Ward has recently had a re ^
lapse is incorrect. He has not had a
set back since tho shooting, and his im- p,

Everyone has felt the force of its

iat he could lie down and sleep by it.
here are lots of people have blue

Sunday is intended as a day of rest,

Capital Social Gossip.
[Washington Letter in the Cleveland Lender.]
Secretary Whitney will contest with
Secretary 1'ayard as the most popular .
social inemher of the Cabinet during the j1
coming season, lie has rented the old
Frelinghuj'sou mansion, which was the
social centre of Mr. Arthur's Adminis- 1
tration, and is adding a large ball-room
for this winter's entertain men ts. This | (
ball-room will he nearly as big as the
city council, chamber in Cleveland, and ,
will, it is said, be hung with gobelin tapestries.
Whitney has more money than
Bayard, and. though lie cannot cook the
terrapin for his dinners himself like the
secretary of State, he can hire a French
cook who will probably equal liint.
liayard ought not to expect to save
much out of his salary as secretary of
State, oven if lie does do his own cooking.
I lis position demands more social
work than any other outside of that of
the President, and he is a parsimonious
man indeed who can lay tip money in it.
Mi'. Kvarts p.iid out $20,000 more than
his salary while he was secretary of
State under llayes, thus making his
four years cost him $52,000. llayard

he has a family and lie wears too good
clothes and lias too tasty a stomach to
save anything 011 $8,000 a year.
Vice-President Hendricks will live at
AVilbird's during the coming season.
This living at a hotel by a prominent
ollicial has of late been looked down
upon by Washington Society, but Mr.
Hendricks is such an adroit mixer and
his wife has so many social qualities
that their little parlors at Willard's will :
probably be as popular as any place >
here.
The fact that Mrs. Logan has a bouse
might lead to the supposition that she
??.-* t"u,n lu ' curium iargmy during
the coming season. I don't think she
will have as many callers as when she ,
was in the stutiy little boarding-house on
Twelfth street. She is too much out of
J he way, und it is a,J5abba.th day's journey
to get to her. The result will ;
he that her calling list will be reduced
to those who really want to see her.
and that it will bo. rather select than
largo.
Henry B. Payne will keep house next i
year, and 1 understand he has re ited one
on Vermont avenue near the Portland. f
This will not be a great distance from
his son-in-law, and Mrs. Whitney will |
assist her mother in many of her receptions.
Whitney's actions in regard to
entertainment lead to the suggestion ,
that Henry B. l'avne and lie may be
concocting a scheme whereby young
Whitney shall be the Presidential candidate
for 1838, and that his father-inlaw
maj* make him his heir to his Presidential
support. The opportunities for
such a post-Presidential campaign are '
excellent. There is plenty money in '
the Whitney-Payne '"burl'" to run ii *
well, and Mr. Whitney comes from the
right State to make a goo;l Democratic" 1
candidate. This is worth thinking about, 1
and please don't forget it. '

The statement is published, that "a ,
white man was sentenced at Abbeville, (
a few days ago, to three months impris- ,
onmcnt in the Penitentiary or to pay a |
fine of fifty dollars, for selling a crop (
on which there was a lien, while a col- t
ored man, for the same offence, was j
sentenced to thirty days in the county ,
jail or to pay a line of ten dollars. ,
This requires some explanation. What j
determined the difference in the degree
of the two sentenced ? Were the pen
amies proportioned to tne viwup oi the
crops sold; or can it possibly be tlint
the more intelligent offender received a
severer sentence because l?e was more
intelligent and therefore more deserving
of punishment ? This is not tho rulo
generally, and we would be glad to
learn whether it js tho rule in Abbeville.

Mrs. Walkup Acquitted.
Emi'oria, Kan., November 6.?The
jury in the; Walkup ease returned this
afternoon with a verdict of not guilty.
They were out more than twenty-four
hours, ami most of the time stood ten
for acquittal and two for conviction.
The prisoner, Mrs. Walkup, was married
nbout three years ago, ami her husband
ilied Inst Spring under circumstances
that indicated poisoning. A good deal
of arsenic was found in his stomach, but
it was shown at the trial that he took it
for disease, and ihe opinion is that the
poison became encysted there. The
theory of the prosecution was that Mrs.
Walkup poisoned him f<jr his money.
He was ex-Mayor of Emporia.
The verdict was unexpected, as the
general belief was that tliere was no
prospect of an agreement, and there
were not a hundred people in the court
room when the jury filed in. They were
followed by Mrs. Walkup and Mr. Jay.
The accused was handsomely attired in
blue tricot. She had been prepared by
Sheriff Wil white for the verdicj, and her
face was aglow with hnppiness, and
while evidently agitated, she maintained
hor composure.
