O Some Interest5ng Facta About a Colo nial Struo'-uro.-Oldest Post Offioe in the Union. JJ"OnABLB8TOK, 8. C., April 15.-Thc JVWH and Courier says : The efTort now being made by the Chamber of Commerce to preserve the old Colonial Post?nico at tho intersection of Broad and East Bay streets is h nrtily endorsed by every body in Charleston. From the present outlook it docs not seem probable that many of the present generation of Chnrlestonians will live to see thc new Postolncc which Uncle 8am promised as, but it is entirely probable that the old Postoffice, which is growing too small for tho postal business of Charles ton, will have to be bi; evacuated in the near future. The Chamber of Commerce havo made an application to the Govern ment to lease thc building with a view of preserving it. 'I he Charleston Postoffice ia one of the oldest in thc Union, having ticen estab lished in 1740, during the reign of George thc Thud, and while '.ho Hon. Wm. Bull was Provisional Governor of the province. It was known in former years as thc | Exchange or Provost. The first post master, Eleoxer Phillip?, wa? appointed by George the Third in 1710, nnd was succeded a few years later by George Ronnel. The building was located on what was then known a? Trott's wharf. The present Postoffice was l>egun in 1707 1 under a lengthy contract between Peter j and John Adam Horlbock, mason, on tho one part, and ''the Honorable Peter | Manigault, Esq., Ben j am in Smith, James Parsons, Thomas Lynch, Benjamin Darr. Miles Brewton, John Rutledge, Charit s Pinckney and Henry Laurens, Faqs.. commissioners in behalf of the public of thc province." Col. Isaac'Haync waa incarcerated in tho basement of the present Postoffice in ! 1781, guarded by a military detachment j of British. He remained there till the i day'.of hia execution, August 4, of the same year. He walked to the place of execu tion by his own icqiust, in preference to riding in a cart as was the custom, surrounded by J ti it edi and Ibadan troops. The execution took place at Radcliffe's Garden, the? situated above the old fortitlcation lines," "nor.* known as Radcliffe street, at a point between Jasper's omi rt and Coming street. Ihre, too, Gen. Moultrie walled up some 100,000 pounds of gunpowder, in order to keep it frt.m tho Ur'tish, when the town oas alnoit to fall into their hands in the third attempt which they matle for its capture, and here it remain ed safe fiotn discovery during tlie three years that they had possession. For seventy-four years Charleston had but two postmaster*:-Thomas Wright BtiCOt and Alfred Huger. In May, 1807, Mr. Stanley G. Trott was appointed by President Johnson as jMistmaster of Charleston. On May 1, 1 H7:?, Postmaster Trott was removed, and B. A. Boiemon, col ored, of Troy, N. Y., was appointed in his platte by President (?rant. Ile re mained in his office until February 28, 1881, the date of his death. Mr. J. C. Beckman was appointed by the the de partment as acting postmaster, which position he tilled creditably until tlio appointment cf Gen. \Y. N\ Taft by President Garfield on May l l, 1H81. He remained iu office until the expiration of his term, on May 24, lHS."), when Mr. B, F. Huger, a Chsrlestonian, wa? ap pointed liy President Cleveland, and io t tined the office until his death on March 20, 18*7. Mr. A. II. Mowry, born in Charleston, 8. C., July 2, 1847, was appointed post master on March 81, 1887. by President Cleveland, and qualitlcd on April 10, 1887. He still holds the office. To preserve this monumental pile it is suggested that the city lease it for ninety nine years, at the end of which time the lease might be renewed, and wi on in definitely.

C.--The condition of Winttr wheat on the first of April, as reported by the Statistician of the de partment of agriculture, averages 81 for the entire breadth. The gentral|avtrage for rye is 92.8. Seeding was lalo in the Statis ol the central valleys liecause of drought, and the soil was therefore not in the liest condition ; but in the mihi wm tet continued growth until the plants were too luxuriant to withstand the usu al vicissitudes of March. In the South the soil was generally in better condition, and the early sown dc - velopcd r.vpully and in December nnd January, suffered moro or loss from at tacks of th? Hessian fly. In March frosts were general, discol oring the plant down to the ground, but not injuring the roots except in wet places.

RANDALL' THE FAMOUS DEMO ORATIO STATES MAN BREATHES HIS LAST. A Sad aod Pathetio Soene at the Daath Bed. SAMUKI. JACKSON RANDA!.I.. Samuel Jackson Randall i- dead. The great Democratic leader and statesman died at 5:04 o'clock in tho morning at his home in Washington City. The cud cam? peacefully while tho distinguished sufTorer was sur rounded hy his wifo and children, Postmas ter-General Wanamaker and his modical at tendant?. Mr. Randall was a victim of cancer of thc bowels. Tho malady seized him nearly two years ago, and his sufferings havo boon in tense. On many occasions his death was thought to have boen a question of hours, hut his splendid physique enabled hint to ward ofT tne inevitable. The story of the sick-room and tho death bed scene ?s a poouliarly pathetio ono. Thero was not a moment in tho tait throo days, liefore his death, when it was not (x> lioved that Mr. Randall was at tho point of death. All of tho last night tho patient was attacked frequently hy sinking spells. Fits of hiccoughing followed. Though unconscious a greater part of the timo nu was able to whistler his wants. Plum proscrvoa appeared to relieve him. Justafter 1 o'clock A. M. ho was seized with a violent j choking spasm. Postmaster-General Wana [ maker sat at tho bedside at the time, and Dr. Mallen J.'auionod to his aid. Tho physician removed a targXJ piece of phlegm from tho throat wit' his fingers, ?/?er which the pa tient breathed more freely. Fr?n? Hiat hour on Mr. Randall's strength gradually f?L'ed. Mrs. Itandall, her two sisters; Mrs. Hyin ? and Mrs. Swann, tho ex-Speaker's brother, Robert Randall, his daughters, Mrs. Lan caster and Miss Susie llandall, his son, Samuel J. Randall, Jr., and his son-in-law, C. C. lancaster, and tho Postmaster-General gathered about tho deathbed just beforo 5 o'cliH-k A. M. Thopatientconvulsivoly seised Mr. Wanamaker's band and pressed it with all the st length he, possessed. Mrs. Randall completely overcome, knelt at the bedside and Bobbed as if her heal I would break. Sud denly Mr. Randall gns|Msi. His devoted wife looked Up. The dying husband and father for tho last time recognised her, whirperlng the single word, "Mother," aud BS he uttered the word his spirit hud tics). Mrs. Randall fell hack into the nrms of tho Postmaster General and hail to he carried from the room. Ar. soon as tho sad nows reached the Capitol tho Stars and Stripe* woro plncsd nt half mast on the roof of the House. Karly in tho morning tho President and Mrs. Harrison drovo to tito Randall residence. Both did what thoy could to comfort the nflliclod family. \ ice-President and Mrs. Morton. Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, Socro ! tory Tracy and other members of tin Cabinet, ns well as Senators and Representa tives, Hocked to tho house, hut few were ad mitted, and those who were not simply loft mossagos of sympathy. Mr. Itandall canto to Washington early in last November a sick man, but with hopes of improvemont. He ex|>ected to boahloto tal . his Heat in the House when Congress mot in Dtcembor; but whon (Congress convened be was unable to leave his home. Sub-.'.-quent ly tho oath of ollie. - as a Representative was au ministered at his rosilcnco by Speak? r Reed, and Mr. Randall was made a member of th? ( 'm H 1.1 itt?-i . on Rules and Appropri?t ions, the two important.itu.-. - ho had served on for so many years. Mr. Randall joined tho Presbyterian Church about t wo months ugo. Mr. Wana maker spoke to him on this subject, and Mr. Randall replied that ho had been thinking of this matter for some time and would Ilk? to become a member of tho Church Ar rangements were made by which ho entered I tho Metroiiolitau Presbyterian Church, on Capitol Hill, Dr. Chester, pastor. Tho nows of the ox-Speaker's death spread rapidly ni. mt Washington, though it wai Sunday morning, and general grief and syni- . pathy were ex pi... d both in nnd out of po litical circles. Tho Sergeant-at-Anns of tin House nt once took ehargo of tho lindy and of the funoral arrangements. Sketch of Mr. Randall's Career Samuel Jackson Randall wa? hun m Philadelphia on October IO, lt??. Ho came into public lifo at a very early age as a Democrat, and ha? never one., boen retired even temporarily. Ho served four year* in tho Common Council of his native city, and one torin-PMH-M)-tn the Ponnsvl vunia legislature as a Stat?? Senator. Mr. Randall was Hist elected to Congress in 1869, Ho nun.meed his Cougreasional life in December. 1H63. in the "Thirty-eighth Con gross (in which tho Hon. James G. Blaine served his first term), only two years after his old friend, but political opponent of nm ty years' sUading.tho late William D. Kelley, had commenced a career in Congress that lasted nearly thirty years. Mr. Randall was returned at every succeeding election, and at the time of his death had served twenty-six years In Congress, or through thirteen Con gresses. He wan elected for a fourteenth term, tatt though ho took the oath and quali fied as a member, he was not able, because of failing health, to take his .eat in tho pres ent Congres*. Mr. Randall was a candidate foi Speaker of the Forty -fourth Congress in IH7.V but way defeated by the Hon. Michael C. Kerr, by whom ho was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. At the second session of the same <Congress, Mr. Randall was choson for Speaker-Mr. Ker: having diod during the recees. Mr. Randall was rc elected Spsnker in the Forty-fifth Congress by the Democrat? in 1877. By reason of long service and close atten tion to his duties, Mr. Randall hecatno tho most expert parliamentarian on the Demo eratic side of the House. In familiarity with the rules and all branches of parliamentary law, he, pcrhnjis, ha i uo superior In either party, and as far back os 1875, when tho groat contest over tho Forco hill took place at tho closo of tho Forty-third Congress. Mr. llandall was, hy common consent, assigned tho leadership of tho Democratic minority. Perhaps the domestic side of Mr. Randall's life wa? tho most attractive. Whtlo yot young ho married a daughter of General A ?iron Ward, of Sing Sing, N. Y., ft mom her of Congross at intervals from 1827 io 1843. Sho was, in every sonso of the word, a model wife. No man over had a moro faith ful or devoted helpmeet. Fow mon woro more successful than ho in carrying a dohato through to a satisfactory conclusion, hut his strength lay moro In tho dogged iHsrsovernnco with which ho piled up indisputable facts and statistics than in any charm of mauncr or graco of oratory. Though so many years In the public ser vice he was ono of tho |>oorcsb men in Con gress. His worldly possessions consisted of a very plain rositlenco on C stroet, near First .?licet. Capitol Hill, Washington. Mr. Ihuidall entered tho Civil War as a private and roso to tho rank of Sorsoant. The Religion.1] Issue. ClIICAOO, 111.-The Tribttnr prints tho following : Bishop Vincent, of buffalo, N. Y., who is at tho Palme? House, considers the Bennett law issue in Wisconsin thc most important ovent in tho year. "Before long," said the Bishop, "thc Catholics und Got man Lutherans will condemn the compulsory education law m Illinois and other States. 1 have watched thc progress of this issue in Wisconsin over since Mr. Bennett framed the law, which now has become famous, ami I believe the issue of compulsory ed ucation will supersede nt the next Presi dential election all tarif! and other polit ical interests. The great tpicbtion as to whether Americans or Human Catholics shall control this couutry ha? reached a point where sn open tight is inevitable. While the Americans Eave been sleep in</, thc Roman Catholics have bton la - boring with untiring energy and their efforts have not Ix en futile. They arc building up a power in this country which threatens t<j prove disastrous to the United States. Not only do most of thc Homan Catholics put their children in parochial >chools, hut they place Catho lic teachers in thc public (schools to ex ercise an influence ov?>r thc childmi of other denominations.

Fruit Canning. Nothing has grown faster in Guilford county than the fruit canning industry, and few things arc succeeding better, '..otwitbstauding the fact that the propel* eton of the various cannerit s near G reen* . boro begAn wilh little or no experience in the business. We hear the products of these facto ries praised hy all who use them. The fruits are said to bc of richer and better flavor than the goods shipped bete from other States. Dr. Foust, who operates a cannery in \1 amanee county, declares that there is every reason that oar fruit thiuld bo su perior to that put up in many placos. Prominent am uigst these reasons, he says, is the fact that the quality ol nie soil for growing fruit and the climatic influences after it is canned are greatly in our favor. Fruit anti vegetable canning will bo carried on more extensively in tins coun ty this year than ever unless the cropa axe a failure. - tVrrwwtWo Hort h State.
