?Tho famous suspension bridge at
Niagara falls, whioh was built in 1855.
Is to be superseded by a new steel
struoture, with an aroh 550 foet long
and 200 foet above the water level.
" Tho old brldgo, built by Uoobling,"
says Tho Chicago Chronicle, " was
one of tho modem vondors of the
world, as it w?s the first suspension
bridge built for the purposo of carry
ing railroad trains. The now brldgo
will, however, be a greater marvel of
scionce than tho old. It will have two
floors, tho upper for railway trains
and tho lowor for a roadway, foot
walks and trolley traoks. The new
brldgo will be built on the exact site
of the old suspension affair, but there
will be no interference with trafilce,
which is one of its greatost marvols.
The work will occupy about six
months."
?A Now Orleans man thus speaks of
that city in the Washington Times :
" The metropolis of the South Is really
in a phenomenally prosperous condi
tion at the present tlmo, and the oltt

of greatness. In the last nine months

I am not a linguist, but have been
told there is no lungoagn but ours that
has a word or expression signifying
" home" in the sweet, sentimental
moaning that we attach to it. There are
words enoughothat mean a dwelling
house, an abiding place, but home has
a broader oompaus and includes all the
emotional surroundings?the garden,
the well, with its old oaken bucket, or
the oryotal spring at the foot of the
hill?tue vines over the door and on
the lattice-- -the shade trees, the land
scape view from the window, the
cradle and the old arm ohalr: the
elook on the mantle, the piotures on
tho walla, the faithful watch dog, the
playful kxtton, and even the crickets'
ohlrrup on the hearth. But more thuu
all these are tho loved ones who meet
us and greet us at the threshold.
The wise men tells us of the time
when man goeth to his long home and
the mourners go about the streets.
Our home here is very brief, we know,
but is the dearest spot on earth, and
should be lovod and cherished by every
one who goes out from its sacred por
tals or returns within them to rest
from the cares of a busy world. It is
one of my -constant regrots that there
are so many good people in this great
big world who have no home?not an
acre on God's groen earth they can
call their own. If every family had a
home tho children would grow up
better cltizonB, better patriots ;
the parents would hold up their
heads and bo thankful to God for his
blessings. The good wife and daugh
ters would treasure the vines they
planted, and tho flowers they grew In
tho front yard?ilowers that aro the
smiles of God upon a Bin-oursed world.
The poet says:
"The world has nothing to bestow;
From our own selves our joys must How,
And that dear place?' our home.'"
I was ruminating about things as I
sat In my verandah in the shadow of
tho vines?the Virginia oreoper, the
raadiera and cinnamon vinos that by
day and by night aro climbing higher
and higher, enlarging and unfolding
their tender loaves that will soon
covor tho trolllce. I love to watch their
daily progross. I built tho framework
for these vines and am proud of It,
ovon though my wife did boss the job
and me, too. 'Twas sho who made me
set tho posts out two -feet from tho
edge of the verandah and brace them
to the top of the columns. 'Twas she
who suggested oanes from the cane
brake?long oanos that were stuck In
tho ground and their tops cut oven
and fastened to the crossbar. These
canes aro just ono foot apart and aro
interlaced with horizontal canes, also
a foot apart, and the basket work
keeps the whole fabrlo good and strong.
Strong and vigorous vines have al
ready climbed and twined around every
cane, but sho said thero must be win
dows in the lattice, so that we could
sit in our chairs and seo tho trains go
by and the carriages and bioyoles and
funeral processions and picnic parties
and the children going to school and
look at our neighbors who live across
tho way. So there is a spaoe of threo
feet where tho vines cling close to tho
perpendicular polos, but are not allow
ed to send out any horizontal shoots.
This gives us ample vision of tho outor
world, and I sit dally in my big arm
chair and rest my feot upon tho railing
and ruminate upon life with its bless
ings and am thankful that I live.
Just a word about that railing. It
u&ed to bo about three feet high and
studded with upright balusters, the
top rail too high and tho bottom ono
too low for a good foot rest. So when
I bought tho propetty the first thing I
did was to reform the long verandah.
It cost but a trifle to take out the up
right pieces and lower the top ralL^f

time she has had It, thank the good
Lord for His mercies. The weather
has been awful hot, but I havo had to
dig and fork up the ground and haul
tortillzor in tho wheel barrow and lay
off a new flower bed and ohange plants
from the old onos and tote water and
sprinkle and rake around till my
nether garments wero moist and us
salty as Lot's v/lfe.
It hasn't rained a drop in three
weeks notwithstanding my rheumatic
pains and my wife's corns and tho
rooster's crowing in* tho night, and so
I have everything to water ovory ove
nlng. We have nad no man servant
but mo for a long time, and my wife
says I look exceeding well, considering
ago and infirmity, and the girls smile
around on the sly to see how a little
uxorlal taffy spurs me on.
Had a letter yesterday from a buffer
ing bonediot, who Bays his girls wanted
him to stop chopping and sowing poaa
and sond some help to take up tho car
pots and whitewash the palings and
the trees and the pig pen and olean up
things generally, for some town kin
folks were threatening to visit them.
Ho said ho was about to outdo the
girls, but his wife re-enforced them
and said they dident aek auob favors
but twice a year and wero tho best
daughters in the worid, and she
thought he might spare a hand for a
day or two and now ho writes to me
for advice. Must he surrender and
take a hand from the lleld or not ? No.
of courso not. The way to do Is to ao all
these little household jobs yout-Bolf.
You can take up a carpet and bang it on
the paling and beat the dust out of It
as woll as anybody, and whitewashing
Is nothing but good fun. You can
hang a window ourtaln or put in a
pano of glass or mend a baby carriago
or repaint tho mantle piece. My glrln
papered overy room In our house.
Their mother trained us all to do these
things, and it saves a lot of monoy.
My friend, that whitewashing must bo
dono if tho world comos to an end.
Let the cotton suffer for a day. I ex
pect you havo too much planted, any
how. Everybody around here has.
The good wife and daughters have to
stay in tho house or about it nearly
their timo, and it should be mildo
an pleasant and inviting as possible.

General Improvement Caused by the
Recent Rains?Limited Amw Still '
Dry.
This bulletin covers tho weather
and crop conditions for the week end
log Saturday. May 23, and in its prep
aration were used reports from one or
more correspondents in each county of
the State.
The averago mean temperature of
40 places for the week was 70 degrees,
the same as for the previous week, and
was due to somowhat lower duy tem
peratures, but warmer nights. Tho
means ranged 'from 74 at Hugood to 83
at Gllhsonsville. The normal for the
week isypproxiiuately 72. The maxi
mum temperature was 100 at Black
ville on the 17th, Gillisonsville on the
18th, and Cheraw on the 21st; tho
minimum was GO at Batchburg on the
21st, Greenwood on the 22d and 23d.
There were numerous showers dur
ing the last three days of the week
over the greater portion of the statu,
but In lower Barnwell, Colleton,
Hampton, Charleston and Beaufort
counties the rainfall was either very
light or entirely absent, and there the
drought was intensified to the detri
ment of crops generally.
There are other limited aroas where
but little or no rain fell, as follows : Iu
the vicinity of Hawthorne, Windsor
and Oak wood, Aikon County ; Spring
held, Orangoburg County ; Jordan,
Clarendon County ; Winnsboro, west
ward to Broad River, Kairfield County;
portions of Piokens and Greenville
counties; Waterloo, Laurens County;
Poverty Hill and Trenton, Edgelield
County ; Santuck, Union County ; Lit
tle Mountain, Newberry County ; and
Loesvllle, Lexington County. Heavy
rains damaging crops and washing
lands occurred In lower Richland,
Greenville, Piokens, and Anderson
and Fairfield countlos. Hall fell In
va ions western and central counties
ou the 21st and 22d, damaging the
stands of cotton to some extent.
Tho following heavy rains were re
ported : Columbia 1.20; Greenvillo
2.07 ; Florence 1.04 ; Efllngham 2.53 ;
Camden 1.00; Eiloroe 1.50; L'berty
1.50; Central 1.30 ; Plnopolis 3.24 ;
Darlington 1.55 ; Statosburg 1.51 ;
Clomson Collogo 1.25. Six othor
?laces reported amounts from 0.50 to
.00 inch ; and 22 places amounts under
0.50 of an inoh, tho averago of 42 re
ports being 0.80 and the normal for
the State Is approximately 0.88.
The sunshine ranged between 70 aad
00 per cent, of the possible, except In
Berkeley and Williamsburg counties,
where it ranged between 30 and 00.
Tho general condition of crops is
dooidedly bettor than it was on tho
previous week, the exceptions boing
confined to tboso sections where thero
was little or no rain, as already noted,
and elsewhere to such crops that wore
too far advanced towards maturity or
were too nearly ruined by tho previous
drought to be benefittod by the late
rains. Corn has mado satisfactory ad
vance in growth and has been general
ly well cultivated, is clean, healthy
and of good color. In places it wilted
badly during tho day. Earliest plant
ing is about ready to "lay by." Bud
worms did some damage on bottoms in
Edgefieid County, but generally worms
have given very little trouble. Late
corn coming up and some boing
planted.
With the exception of small and
comparatively unimportant areas
where the stands were damaged by
hall, and also where it is just coming
up, or camo up irregularly, cotton is
iu fine condition. It is of fair growth
and improving; is of good, healthy
color, well cultivated and only a low
sections are threatened with grasp. It
is free from inaeots and disoaso goner
ally. Tho drought did cotton no ap
parent injury, and tho abnormal heat
since planting favoredjfcs de^oBhientr
Squares are, --toteing plentifully on
April M&JGon.
>- Tobacco growing well and trans
planting is again boing pushed. Plants
continue soarce, and dome in beds ure
too largo to transplant, so that-hands
Intended for tobacco are boing put to
corn.
Wheat in the westorn counties prora
isos a fair yield, but elsewhere is
poor. Oats are generally poor, and
spring oats will amount to nothing.
Wheat and oats harvest quite general.
Sugar and ribbon cane are in very
good condition and seemingly havo not
suffered from lack of rain.
Melons generally In blossom and
looking promising. Havo bcon-attack
ed and are dying from a fungus dis
ease in lower Richland County.
Sweet potato draws being trans
KI an tod and arc doing well. In New
erry and Union counties are boing
watered. Irish potatoes aro not prom
ising, and aro of inferior quality and
small size generally.
Gardens aro somowhat revived, but
. vegetables aro very scarce and of poor
quality. In places gardens are entire
ly ruined.
j Fruit prospects aro poor. Peaches
conti v. im to drop and apples to rot on
tho trees. It is tho opinion of cor
respondents that the extreme heat
r/as unfavorably for fruit. Fino blaok
borry crop in Plckons County, and
generally over the whole State.

A Briet Sketch of Indiana's Favorite
Son?He Will be Urged for the Pres
idential Nonilnatlou.
P. J. Moran in Atlanta Constitution.
Born In Kentuoky fifty years ago,
Governor Matthews was educated at
Center college, in that State, and is a
graduate of that institution.. Shortly
after his graduation he removed to
Indiana and married the daughter and
only ohild of ex-Governor and ox
United States Senator James Wblt
comb, one of the ablest and best of
Indiana's early statesmen. Immediately
upon his marriage Governor Matthows
settled upon a farm in Vermillion
county, and has from that hour to this
been, in every sonso of tho word, a
firootical farmer. Ue became largely
nterostod in live stock, more especially
Bbort-horn and Jersey cattlo, and was
the moving spirit in the very suc
cessfully organizations whloh ? have
grown up in the paBt few years in tho
United states and Canada for the im
provement of cuttle.
He is a natural leader of mei., and
it was, therefore, natural that when
the Democratic party of tho county of
Vermillion and surrounding counties,
in 1876, seeing tho necessity for nomi
nating a string man for tho legisla
ture to ove 'me a large Kopubiioan
majority, unanimously young
Farmer Matt ews, who went into the
race, us he does everything olso, with
will and ensrgy. Overcoming the
lago Republican majority of 200, he
was eleoted by a majority of 250. In
1800 tho Democrats of tho Stato, desir
ing the strongest and most effective
man to hoad tho Stato ticket as a
candidate for Secretary of State, sought
Farmer Claudo Matthows and, prac
tically without any effort on his part,
nominated him for that high oflice.
So well did ho 6atlsfy tho require
ments of tho trylug pooitlou of a can
didate at tho head of the ticket, and
later the requirements of the respon
sible olllco of Secretary of Stat?>, that,
when two years had rolled around and
a governor was to be electee the demo
cratic party of the State again turned
its eye on Secretary of State Matthews
and demanded that, Instead of being
renomiuatod for Secretary of Stato, the
only personal ambition ho at that time
had, ho should accept tno nomination
for governor. This ho did and carried
the Stato by tho largest majority over
given to a candidate for governor.
In tili? enlarged Held of usefulness
he met squarely every obligation that
was put upon him. Ho is in no senso
of the word a trimmer. Ho believes
that the hest service any public of
ficial can do his party is to honestly,
fearlessly and Intelligently discharge,
the duties of the position to which the
votes of his countrymon have elevated
him.
Governor Matthews In a man of broad
views. He could not bo called a one
idea man, from any possiblo stand
point. In the administration of tho
public ulfai.E with which ho has been
entrusted ho has shown at all times
tho broadest liberality consistent with
the public good, and the higest type
of moral courage. It has uey^f? -oc
curred to him, agd^j^vBT'vvolikl occur
to bim^t&afr-fiiere was anything for a
ptrbTlc ouicial to do but his whole duty,
under all circumstances.
Governor Matthews has many quali
ties which espcciaHy fit him for a pre
sidential candidate, as well as for the
presidency. He Is essentially a man
the watp-und-woo. uf" 7m8" cuoraoterV
His kuowlodge of men comes from his
close contact with men. It may be
truly said of him that from his very
earliest boyhood ho has touched elbows
with the world. His manners are
dignillod and engaging, Ho believes
in tho fullest possible disonssion of all
questions utfeotlug his party and his
country, and is roady at all times to
give tho fullest audience to questions
concerning party and public welfare,
whether the viows expressed agree
with his owu or not.
Ho ifl o clean man In every relation
of lifo. Ho would mako a President of
whom the whole country might well
be proud. Indiana will present him
with enthusiasm and push his candidacy
with earnestness, believing that she
will thereby bo doing tho wholo coun
try a signal service.
?Gen. C. I. Walker, In command of
the S. C. division of tho United Con
federate Veterans, has appointed Miss
Lottie P. Capers, of Columbia, sponsor
for the S. C. Division at the coming
mooting in Richmond. Miss Capers in
ono of the most attractive and popular
{oung ladies In tho Stato and the so
ection of Gen. Walkorwlll be general
ly approved.
?During a thunder-storm Wednes
day afternoon two daughters of Mr. 11.
S. Sullivan, a well-to do farmer, living
in L'incastcr county, aged 10 and 17,
were struck und instantly killed hy
lightning, Tho girls had becu hoeing
in tho field and were taking sheltor
from tho rain under a trco nearby

?Governor Evans has granted a
commutation of sentence whereby the

oxen and their Idtivers returned with
tho goods the atoro was opened in a
little log house |>n tho brink of the hill,
almost over tholriver, according to a
writer in MeCluto's Magazine.
The frontier l-toro', filled a unique
place. Usually lit was a " general
store," and on 1?< slullvos were found
most of tho articles deeded in a com
munity of ploneens. But to be a place
for the sale of dry! goo?8 and groceries
was not its onlyl functions ; it was a
kind of Intellectual and social centre.
It was the common meoting ph\co or

Nothing should interfere with
home duties. Even great service
for humanity cannot compensate'
for their neglect. Works of charity
and business for the Church are
of great price, and should ho at
tended to in their place and uicas
nre, but never ut the sacrifice of
loved ones eutrusted to one's care
and training. Home has the first
and pre-eminent claim. Children
are a God-given heritage. They
must be rightly cultured and dis
ciplined as well as properly pro
vided for. Father and mother must
be able to say at th* Great Day :
" Here are we, and those whom thou
has given us." Platform oratory
serves an excellent purpose, but is a
poor substitute for a home neglected
in its gratitication. Committee
meetings and temperance and mis
sionary work arc valuable, but not
at the sacrifice of family interests.
Give your home the Bret attention;
then devote what time, talent and
effort you can to outside agencies.?
The Presbyter.
Paint brushes and white-wash
brushes can be made to last much
longer if they are placed with the
hair end up, the hair separated and
some varnish poured in. This will
tighten the handle and prevent the
hair from coming out. If bound
with leather, a liberal oiling will
prevent the lime from burning it
up.
If the farmer had something to
sei) every month in the year, either
of crops or stock, he would find it
less difficult to manage on a limited
capital. Cows and poultry bring in
daily returns, and farmers who
make a specialty of milk, butter and
eggs are usually prosperous.
Harness kept well oiled and
mended will last in proportion to
other care it receives. A good har
ness, well taken care of, ought to
last ten years.
