DELILAH.
So this vrua hor wedding journey.
And here she sat alone at 10 o’clock in
the evening in the dreary hotel parlor,
whose bare walls and shabby furniture
had become so detestable. She might
have gone with him. Bnt no, she would
never enter that hall again. She had
sworn it.
Ttt she knew her husband’s whole
repertory by heart, knew the precise
bar in his serenade when he would close
bis eyes, the passage in his scherzo
when ho would toss back his hair so
gracefully. How studied and unnatural
it all seemed! She fancied she could see
him now, bowing with a faint smile, as
though oppressed by the applause which
thundered around him.
Oh, how wildly the audiences here ap
plauded, especially the women. Now
they were pressing forward to the stage
to sheke bauds with him. They would
wait for him at tho exit cf the ball to
thank him for tho great pleasure ho had
offered them and throng around him to
the very door of the carriage.
It was so yest* rday, and the day be
fore, and every day. Mine. Audro want
ed to cry, especially when she thought
of her adventure yesterday, when a
crowd of feminine worshipers separated
her from her husband, and ho, evident
ly desiring to eecapo enthusiasm which
had become annoying, in the belief that
his young wife sat beside him, had
driven oil without her. There she had
stood and was forced to hear these wo
men rave about the “gifted man,” how
.handsome ho was, the enthralling pow
er of his glance, and, above all, his su
perb hair.
Yes, his undeniably magnificent locks
seemsd to please these enthusiasts more
than anything else, more even than his
skill as an artist.
And the notes he received! She had
just road one. Of course tho writer beg
ged for a lock of hair, and he would
probably give it to bur.
Tho paper fell from her trembling
hands. Her slender fingers clinched
convulsively as with compressed lips
she sank back into her chair. Oh, their
flatteries and cajolery would make him
a recreant, a recreant to her and to his
art! Richard was still loyal and still
loved her. But, like every artist, he
was vain. Perhaps he was more so than
many others because he had more reason
to be—yes. of course he had, fa? more
reason.
,She began mentally to enumerate his
attractions. Tho stern expression of her
delicate features softened, a tender
light stole into her brown eyes. Then,
rising hurriedly, she paced up and down
tho room several times, and her pretty
face assumed a very resolute expression.
tiurely he would come s«)au, her
Richard, her beloved htsbund. How
had sho lived so long without him? It
had grown very late. She slipped ou an
elegant maize silk tea gown, drew the
pins from her hair and let it fall in
curling locks around her shoulders.
When she turned down the lump, leaned
buck in the armchair ami shut her eyes,
as if asleep, and waited for him.
Sho soon heard his step, the door of
the room was thrown open, but ou the
threshold the tall figure paused, and
Andre moved forward on tiptoe.
“Richard, is it you:” asked a voice
from tho armchair.
“Ah, sweetheart, are you still awake?
That is very kind in you.” He kissed
tier, “it has been such an evening,
Elly, such an evening I”
Removing his long cloak, ho turned
up tho light. The clear glow fell upon
his handsome figure. Tho regularity of
tlie pale features was animated by the
sparkle of the dark eyes, now glittering
with joyous excitement. But the most
remarkable thing about his appearance
was tho long, black hair, which fell in
soft, waving locks Leurly to tbo shoul
ders, giving a striking character to the
man’s whole person.
He took his seat at his young wife's
aide.
”Ab, if you would only come with
mo again, Elly,” he said as he lighted
u cigarette. “The enthusiasm, the ap
plause, the flowers! Y'ou know I do not
set any undue value ou such things,
but it ought to make you very proud to
see your husbund so much applauded.”
“But it dooau’t,” sho answered with
a somewhat forced laugh. ”To tell the
truth, it makes me feel as if I were
quite too insignificant Besides, dear
est, I love in you less the artist than
the husband of my foolish heart, and
you are more that at homo than in the
concert hall.”
“You are right. ’Hero I am a man,
here I may be,’ and therefore, you
■eo"—
He gave her a hasty kiss, then slip
ped out of his dress coat into a comfort-
ablo lounging jacket and threw himself
down on the sofa, while Elly lighted
the lamp under the teakettle. For a
time they chatted gayly together. Rich
ard had stretched himself out at full
length. Elly eat at tho table beside
him, and her fingers played at times
with his curia He was speaking of his
programme for the next concert. ”We
must continue our journey soon, Elly.
1 want to drain the cup of raocees to
tbo dregs. One more like today, and—
oh, Elly,” he suddenly exclaimed
ithor crossly, “what are you doing?
[ou have certainly pulled out some of
hair. ”
[Why, n.y door husband”—
"Yes. yon have. See, there are at
least a dozen.”
He raised his head and looked at her
BcprouchfulJy.
“Why, Elly,” he said, “wlKit is the
matter with your”
“Oh. nothing, Richard,” she replied,
smiling as sky oivleavored to hide the
strange excitement which had taken
possession of her. “But. perhaps you
have forgotten that during our engage
ment you promised me a lock of your
hair?”
“And because I haven’t kept my
word you want to pull out hairs
enough, one by cue, to make a lock?
You are certainly one of the most affec
tionate wires that eeu be imagined.”
“Oh, no. If I really pulled it a little,
it was purely accidental. Perhaps I
moved my hand rather quickly, because
I was vexed by tbe thought that you
bad not kept your promise. Yes, that
was it.”
“At that time, sweetheart, there was
no traveling. I was with you, with all
my hair. So y»u needed no memento.”
“All the Home, you didn’t keep your
promise, and I dho’t like it a bit, espe
cially ae you have been kinder to total
strangers. Let me cut off the lock now,
please. May I?”
“But, little wife, consider the season
of the year. ”
“Only one little lock, Richard, where
yon can’t miss it." A pair of scissors
glittered in her hand. “May I?*' Her
voice trembled.
“Oh, I don’t oare, Elly. But"—
He? agitated face vanished an instant
amid his dark curls. He felt a kiss
pressed on them, then heard a hissing
noise.
“For heoven’s sake, Elly, here in
front ou my forehead? And so much?
Good Lord !’’
He rushed toward the mirror, but
the room suddenly became perfectly
dark. His wife bad put out the light.
Two soft arms clasped him around the
neck, and Elly, leaning her hem! upon
bis breast, began to cry like a child
that knows it has done wrong ami de
serves punishment.
Richard could not understand the
violence of hw little wife’s grief, bnt
when she begged so wildly for his for
giveness for whal she had done he
smilingly granted the pardon.
• ••••••
The bright morning sun shone into
the room.
“Disfigured; I am utterly disfigured.
How could you do it?”
Richard turned angrily from the mir
ror and seiaad his hat and cane.
“Goodby!” he called loudly to wake
his wife, who was still asleep. She
started up.
“ Where are you going so early, Rich
ard?”
“To the barlwrto have my hair cut.”
His voice sounded actually threatening.
“Richard, my dear husband, you see,
I wanted”— Then, conscious of guilt,
sho paused.
“Ah! So you meant to do it!”
He placed himself where the light
streamed lull upon him, took off his
hat and stared at her.
Elly was startled at her own work.
From his forehead to the right temple
a clump of hair stood stiffly up, giving
Richard’s angry expression a somewhat
comical aspect.
He rushed out of the room, while his
young wife murmured amid her tears,
"Perhaps he won’t forgive me, but it
could not be helped!”
Tho first part of the programme was
over. During the pause tho great eon-
I cert hall begun to fill, for now Richard
Andre was to play. His admirers pour-
i ed in and took their places in the front
row. As if by an electric shock the
thrill cf expectation was communicated
t to tbe rest of the audience, which so
fur had somewhat apathetic, only
tbe pause lasted somewhat too long,
longer than usual.
At last tbe artist appeared ou tbo
stage and was greeted by thunders of
applause. Several bouquets flew through
the air and fell at his feet. But the en-
thu-insm soon died away. The hands
which hud clapped so madly suddenly
paused. A strange murmur ran through
the hull. People cast inquiring glances
at one another.
This was not the artist whose per
sonal beauty had been so remarkable,
but a very ordinary man. nowise differ
ent from thousands of others. Why, he
looked almost ridiculous, for his clipped
hair *t«jod up like bristles all over his
head!
Richard bowed his thanks for the en
thusiastic reception, whose abrupt close
somewhat vexed him. Then, us lie again
stood erect and ploord the violin ou his
breast, lie made tho movement of tbe
head with which he had formerly
shaken his k«ir but k from his brow.
During the first few burn of the music
he noticed the uneasiness in the hull
ami felt somewhat embarrassed by it.
Then he became absorbed in playing
and heard only the exquisite notes
which be lund from his instrument.
“He surpasses himself,” the connois
seurs and critics whispered, while the
orchestra and conductor gazed as though
enchanted at the great musician, who
hud forgotten himself and his surround
ings.
When tbe piece was over, Richard
once more became conscious of his tnr-
ronudings and stood waiting for the
customary response from tbe audience.
Here atid there wore tokens of approval,
hut the majority remained strangely
indifferent. This state of affairs con
tinued until tbe dose of the perform
ance.
“He looks not only hideous, hul ri
diculous, ’’ whispered a lady just in front
of the stage to her neighbor.
“Yes. what induced him to do such
a thing? H# looks like a convict, or a
clown. And those eors!”
“He has forgotten hhi wig,” said a
third.
Andre heurd tbe remarks, as tho exas
perated ladiss probably intended, and
with his vanity deeply wounded he left
the scene of his former triumphs. His
music was no longer appreciated. Ho

Richard had not noticed that Elly
h*d entered the ^”3'
was thinking soLdVAutih«i
he had Buffered—h«. wno had played ,
like a demigod.
Elly had leaned timidly back into a
corner and was crying. Whenever the
lanterns of a passing carriage cast a ray
of light into theirs she gazed anxiously
into the face of bar boul^akid, who sat
staring into vacancy. She would rather
have endured anything ■eproachee,
even his contempt, but RTChard's silence
oppressed her too hoavily. How wretch
ed he mast be, the panud artist, so ac
customed to tbo tnoenm of ucplanse!
“Richard,” she vrhispekwl pleading
ly at last, “forgive me. I know I have
been very wrong.” Bs nwyis no reply.
“Just one word, Richard,” she sobbed
bitterly, “just one. You see—tbe nojes
you gave me to read—all asked for locks
of hair, till at lost they drove me
wild.”
“To think that you should have been
there, Elly,” ho muttered, **at this con
cert !’’
“Oh, bow I sufleaod for you,” sho
cried.
“How they treated me!” he burst
forth, clinching his hands. “And why?
It’s incredible, but true! Because—I
had had my hair cut!”
“Yes, Richard, and the favor of such
people was your pride, year glory!
What do they know of your art? And
you played magnifioeotfty tonight. I
knew it; I can value you, even with
out your hair!”
Richard again lapsed into silence.
But suddenly, before the carriage stop
ped at the hotel, ho threw his arm
around her, duspkg; hor passionately
to him.
“Elly,” he gasped, “you are right!
I have learned it now. The tesson lurrtt-:,
but it has cured me. liaoh external
vanities are unworthy of p true artist.
I o\n: this recognition to you, ray new
Delilah, and—and from this day my
hair shall stay as it » now ”
Again the light from a puling car
riage shone upon ElW^s fh«r\, and Rich
ard saw that she was Mailing roguishly
through her tears.
“Listen, Richard,” aha whispered,
“we will let it grow again! There is
no danger now, for you or me, and,
with your long hair, dearest—you cer
tainly are a handsomer man.’’—From

Oct. 13, 18(11, convoying James M.
Mason, Confederate envoy to Great
Britain, and John Slidell, envoy to
France. The Theodora landed them at
Cardenas, whence they went to Ha
vana, and sailed on Nov. 7, in the Brit
ish steamer Trent, for St. Thomaa, ou
their way to Emrope. The United States
steamer San Jacinto, Captari* Wilkes,
left Havana on the 2d and was watch
ing for them in tbe Bahama channel,
240 miles from Havana. (An the 8th
Wilkes sighted the Trent, asked her to
heave to, which she at first refused, but
consented to do after a shot was fired
across her bow. Lieutenant Fairfax,
with a boat’s crew, boarded the Trent
and compelled Mason and SMdell, with
their secretaries, Eustis and Macfar-
land, to accompany him to the San Ja
cinto. They were then tnlsen to Boston
and imprisoned in Fort Warren.
Welles, secretary of the navy, approved
of Captain Wilkes' action. The British
government, through Lord Lyons, its
minister, demanded the unconditional
surrender of the lour men. France ae-
companied tbo demand with a less per
emptory dispatch, insisting ou their
surrender. Secretary Will faun H. Sew
ard complied with the roquuet, and the
men were surrendered on Juu. 2, 18412.

The ebarmod traveler'in Japan goes
to Nagasaki to find disenchantment.
There be sees tho fair Japanese maiden
labor at a ocal passer and* at longshora
work. It makes one el the strimwLri
sights of tbe queer orient, with its teem
ing millions of peculiar people, to see
60 or 100 women at work with an equal
number of men coaling a ship in the
pretty harbor of that city. It is said
that at oou time tbe work was done al
most exclusively by women, but that-
latterly the girls and women have been
gradually giving way to their cooly
brothers or sous. Many continue at the
work, however, and it will probably be
years befow the cueban disappears.
The coaling at Nagasaki ’sdono from
lighters, aad a aerie* of elevated and
inclined pbvttorms that resemble a step-
ladder ave affixed tc tbe side of tho
vessel. They roach from the deck of the
lighter to tho main deck of the steamer
or ship, it* enal i« handled in small
baskets that will bold from JO to 40
po-mds. The coolie* form in line on the
] -roactoid, ami tbe basket* are
quickly paoded from one to another.
The U**t home ilhwtratiou of tho proc-
es* is to be frond i i tbe old American
bucket brigade working on a roof fira
Tbe coal passers work very quickly, and
one gang (rf mixed coolies, working
from sovorsl lighters, ha* been known
to give a ship 43? tons in an hour.
In tbedkftoibutiou of the work among
a gang of coolies the woman is shown
no favors. At tbo Imttom of tbe line tbo
first lift becomes larger as tho coal re
cede* ia tfaw Ktfhtar and at tbe top of
the line the Mft over the rail is hard,
and the wvroau could be favored by
placing her in the center. On tho con
trary, however, she is seen more often
at the eod*. Tbe work i* very hard,
and there ir, <4>o added discomfiture of
tbe flying coad dnet, but both men and
women seem very happy. They laugh
and gibe m they hurriedly pass the
seeming^’ eudfetw line of laden baskets.
The women do not bear the marks
that the American or European “sweat
shop” leaver upon its victims. They
all seem to have health and it* accom
panying color. Some of the women, and
particularly the older ones, show biceps
and shoulder* that would make some
of our iuw& shamefaced. Among the
younger girl* are many that would be
called pretty by tho admirer of Japanese
beauty. They all wear the native cos
tume, and nearly all protect their bauds
with rough giove* or bindings of cloth.
The evidence of a desire to preserve the
color of ttivir hands is the only indica
tion of sex in the busy crowd.
The women are not paid as well as
the men, although they do as much
work. Why the discrimination is made
is not apparent from tbe amount of
work don* or the treatment of the la
borer. Lattoriy it has been the practice
to onderferiM the work by piece or con

Candidates Abuse Each Other Like
Pickpockets.
Wiiith irux. September 2.—
Special: The campaign which has
just closed in this county was one of
the bitterest on record. Tbe candi
dates who aspired to tbe various of
fices were well supplied with ammuni
tion, which they freely used against
their opponents, and lots of stabbing
in the back was done by those who
had a secret grudge to satisfy. In
fact, the whole matter was a dirty
mess of political chicanery and is the
very highest evidence of demagogy.
The candidates for Senator. Butler
and Hardin, were at daggers' points
about the Court House matter, and
ran their jealousies into matters of a
personal nature, which reflected poor
credit upon either of their records.
The candidates for auditor, Camp and
Austell, did some iniquitous thresh- i
ing at each other for the sake of the
loaves and fishes. Whisonant is ac
cused of selling out his best friends
for a seat in the Legislature, which
he won by about 87 majority on the
first ballot. The same tactics, it is
said, put Jolly and Lipscomb in the
second race for supervisor. Mc
Arthur and Strain washed each other
in the cesspool of political slime and
I personal abuse. The former charged
' the latter with being a Republican
' and taking an active part in State and
j national politics since 1872. The lat
ter arraigned the former for having
. invaded the home of a well-to-do
! citizen and destroying domestic felic-
i ity between husband and wife; be-
! sides neglecting his duty to the
! schools. Jones and Blanton w+;re
hut little better in their denuncia-
! lions of each other. Crimination
: and recrimination was the platform
throughout.
The new county of Cherokee has
not proved to be what its agitators
claimed for it. and it will be years
before the different factions will be
come reconciled to their fate.
Crops are good throughout the
country, especially com and hay.

A Card From Mr. Finley,
To the Editor of The Ledger:
It has been brought to my atten
tion that \V. A. Barber is exhibiting
a letter written by me to Gov. El-
lerbe in reference to the appointment
of \Y. H. Newbold as State Detective
on the 2oth day of January, 1S!)7;
and is also circulating and distribu
ting copies of said letter In this
county and also at other places in the
congressional district, with the in
tent to injure me in the race for con-
Vaccloatloo.
In tbe German army only six or seven
cases of smallpox occur annually, and
there can b© little doubt that this al
most complete immunity from a disease
which formerly decimated continental
armies is dne to the thorough way in
which vaccination i« carried out. All
recruits are revaccinated, and the regu
lations prescribe that there shall be at
lea-t ten punctures in each arm. A fur
ther confirmation of this view may be
found iu tbe fact that the one soldier
who died from smallpox iu the period
from 1874 to 1887 was a man who was
twice uusucceHBfully re vaccina tod when
recruited.
There can be no doubt that other die-
eases are sometime* communicated
through tb© iu<«]ium of tbs vaccina
lymph, but tb* unprejudiced observer
will probably arrive at the conclu*ion
that these form but a very insignificant-
fraction of tho number of smallpox
cases which would ensue from the
abolition of vaccination. There are. no
doubt, many objactious to either human
or animal lymph, and we look forward
to the time when the cultivation of
vaccine virus shall take place in a ster
ilized medium which can transmit no
other disease.—Westminster Review.

The above article appeared in the
New* and Courier of Monday. I do
not kno.v the author of this slander.
The writer is either totally ignorant
of the facts or has knowingly and
willfully misrepresented the same.
I have been at everyone of the regu
lar campaign meetings excepting the
one at Ezells and have no hesitency
in saying that all the speeches.were
upon a high plane and us free from
personalitiesas any campaign could
possibly have been. In fact it was a
model campaign and entirely free of
vituperation and abuse. I deem it
unnecessary to answer this slander
so far as the people of this county
are concerned for they will know it
to be false, but do so iu order that
the people of the state may know
the facts, and respectfully ask the
News and Courier, who his been
unjustly imposed upon, to copy the
same.
As the individual who wrote the
article is entirely unknown to me I
am at a loss to know how to pay my
respects to him, but will simply say
that so long us we have within our
borders such men as he just so long
will it be before we can have complete
reconciliation between the advocates
and non-advocates of smaller coun
ties. To be plain, almost the entire
article is a lie pure and simple.

The letter has reference only to
the appointment of Newbold as de
tective and makes no mention of his
appointment as State constable, and
was written under the following cir
cumstances: W. H. Newbold on the
25th of January, 185)7, and long be
fore he killed Mr. Turner in Spartan
burg county, came into my office at
Yorkville and stated to me that he
wished to be appointed State detec
tive by Gov. Ellerbe who had just
been inaugurated, and asked me if I
could write a letter to the Governor
recommending him us an efficient
detective; and stating that I had
found him to be an efficient one,I in
formed him that I could,for the reason
that I had found him to be a shrewd
and successful detective in working
up cases; notably the case of the
State vs. M. R. Reese and Daniel F.
Luckie, in York county, for killing
Chas. T. William* at Blacksburg.
And that I believed that but for his
efficient work in said case Reese and
Luckie would not have been convicted
of murder at tbe November term of
court for York in 185)0. I then wrote
the following letter:
Gov. \V. H. Ellerbk.
Columbia, S. C.
“Dear Sir—For the position of
State detective I respectfully recom
mend W. H. Newbold for reappoint
ment. I have found him an efficient
officer. Yours respectfully,
D. E. Finley,
Some of Mr. Barber’s friends are
claiming that I wrote a letter asking
for the appointment of Newbold as
“State Constable” after he had killed
Mr. Turner. This absolutely false;
the above i” ’he only letter written
by me in reference to Newbold and
relates solely to his appointment as
detective and I have never recom
mended him for appointment as State
constable, and did not testify at bis
trial. Mr. Barber claims that he is
circulating this letter because I was
circulating copies of his testimony
given in the case of the State vs.
Newbold to his detriment in the
race in that he had testified to W.
H. Newbold’s good character. This
is untrue. I have not at any time
had a copy of Mr. Barber’s testimony
in said case, nor have I secured a
copy for any one else.and as a matter
of fact did not know that there was a
copy in existence until I came to
Gaffney o% last Friday, Sept. 2J,
when it was shown to me. Mr. Bar
ber is well aware as to who obtained
this copy. Mr. Barber at the cam
paign meeting at Gaffney City ou
Aug. 12. made a statement as to his
testimony in the case. This was
published in your paper, a copy of
which is now in my possession and is
the only printed or written state
ment that I have ever had touching
Mr. Barber’s testimony ia said case.
If n copy of his testimony (and I am
informed 1 hat there is only one in
existence) was secured by any of my
friends it was done without my
knowledge.
I have treated all my competitors
in the race for congress with the ut
most fairness, and as to whether or
not Mr. Barber is justified in resort
ing to the methods which ; he has at
this late day I leave it to the demo
cratic voters of the 5th Congressional
District to judge on Tuesday ne.V
Respectfully,
D. E. Finley.
