PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY - AT IEWBERRY, S. C. TESTS WITH THE BIG MAGNET. Pranks of Inanimate Things When the Earth's Attraction is Overcome. [From the Flushing Journal.] Through a happy thought of Major W. R. King, the commandant at the Willet's Point military post, the post now boasts one of the largest and strongest magnets in the world. This magnet has already been referred to in the Journal, and some of the more re cent experiments of its power made cannot fail to Je of interest to our readers, together with a short history of this wonderful instrument itself. How the magnet came to be made was in this manner : Last )ecember Majorf.ing happened to see two large fifteen-inch Dahlgren guns lying un used sideby side on the dock. He con ceived the idea that a magnet of enor mous power conid be constructed by means of these cannons with submarine cable wound about them. The expe riment proved very successful. The magnet,. which stands about ten feet from the ground, is eighteen feet long, and has eight miles of cable wound about the upper part of the guns. Some faint idea of Its power may be con ceived from the fact that it takes a force of 2.5,000 pounds to pull off the arna ture. The tests to demonstrate the enor mous power of the magnet were made iu the presence of a number of the of ficers of the United States Engineer Corps, and were highly successful. A crowbar which was applied to the magnet required the combined force of four strong men to tear it away. A handful of pins thrown in the opposite direction immediately flew back and attached themselves to the magnet. A seemingly impossible experiment wsa performed with some fifteen-inch can non balls. The balls were solid and as a stron2 man could lift, yet the mag net held several of them suspended in the air, one under the other. The most interesting experiment, and the one that was regarded with the greatest attention, was the test made of an American non-magnetic watch. Ever since the the great ralroads of the country have compelled their em ployees to provide themselves with timepieces that would not be affected by the magnetism generated by the car trucks, there has been much spec ulation as to whether such a watch can be made, and a sharp rivalry has been going on between the American and Swiss manufacturers. The test wa highly satisfactory, and once more proved that whenever a new invention was imperatively demanded, American genius could fully hold its own against the whole world. Major King's mag net was so powerful thalt an ordinary watch was stopped stock still as it came within three feet of it. Before the test was made there was quite a diversity of opinion among the experts presnt s hw far it would prove suc Those who believe that while a watch might be constructed that would resis magnede influence under ordinary circumst'ances, were also of the opinion that when it was subjected to the most powerful ma~gnet in the world the steel pinions would jar so on the working parts that the;watch 'must necessarily stop. For ten muin utes the watch was held in front of the -magnet. It did not vary the hundredth part of a second. The man who held it said that he himself was conscious of the influence of the magnet. He could feel as he held the watch hy the chain that some other p)ower than his w.as *keeping it suspended. The most amusing experiment was made with a sledge hammer. When one tried to wield it in a direction op posite to the magnet he felt as though he were trying to hit a blow with a long feather in a gale of wind. There is nothing in the world that could take the conceit out of a strong man so much as this simple experiment. Another amazing test was made with a number of carpenter's spikes. A spike was put lengthwise on the end of the magnet, then another spike was attached to the first, and so on until a line of them stood straight out from the magnet at least four feet in length. Aside from their interest to science, the experiments were entertaining even to those wbo were not interested in the wonderful developnients of electricity. Dimes, How Counted and-Made. [Anon.] -The United States Mint in San Francisco is said to be the largest of the kind in the world. Just at the present time there is a lively demand for sil ver dimes, and two of the money presses have been for some time rnnning ex elusively on this coin. The dema'nd is so great that these machines are not even stopped on Sunday. The p)rocess of dime makn:q is an interesting one. The silver bullion is first melted and run into two pound bars. These in turn are run through immense rollers and flattened out to the thickness of the coin. These silver strips are then passed through a machine, which cuts them into proper size for the presses, the strips first having been treated with a kind of tallowv to prevent their being~ scratched i their passage through thie cutters. The silver pieces are then put into the, feeder of the printing presses. and are fed t'o the (lie by automaie machinery at the Late of 100) per in-i ute, 48,000 dimes being turned out in at regular working day of twelve hours. As the smooth pieces are pressed be tween the ponderous printing dies, they receive the lette&ed and figured impression in a manner similar to that of a paper pressed uponi a form of .type ; at the same time the piece is ex p6nd in a slight degree, and the small corrugations aie cut in its rim. The ni achine drops the completed coin into a receiver, anii it is ready for the ;'ter's hands. The iustrument used -en T.' md?lunter is not a complicated Despite the wagy means, as one might and Courier, v large c'wo~le copper-colored *between 3,6K00 and 4,0'M'es running among v:hom were many of ton's best citizens. showed' by Ta a pwesece in kroit of the City Hall .as1~ hit tha1Ahe; love the truth, and A .A .J board or tray, and as it is shaken rap idly by the counter the pieces settle down into the spaces between the ridges. All these spaces being filled, the sur plus coin is brushed back into the re ceiver, and the counter has :exactly l.: >0 silver diics, or $125, on the tray, which number is required to fill the spaces. The tray is then emptied into boxes and the money is ready for ship ment. The dime does not pass through the weigher's hands, as does the coin of a larger denomination. One and one-hail grains is aUowed for varia tion, or "tolerance," in all silver coins from a dollar down, and the deviation from the standard in the case of the ten cent pieces is so trifling that the trouble and expense of weighing coins of this denomination is dispensed with. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS 31ISSING. It Left Portland, Oregon, in a Mail Pouch, but Failed to Reach New York. NEw Yon, August 23.-Anmong the pouches of registered mail matter de livered at the postofllee in this city on Friday night last was one pouch from Portland, Oregon. According to the bill forwarded with the pouch it should have contained fifty registered pack ages. When the clerks who were at work opening packages counted them up they found only forty-nine. The fact was at once reported to the assist alit superintendent in charge of the ovice, who immediately gave orders that no one should leave the room and then sent for Superintendent Philips, who was at his home in Brooklyn. Superintendent Philips hurried over to the postoftiec and directed every man in the room at the time the pouch was opened should be thoroughly searched. This was done, and the room was also carefully searched in every part without discovering the missing package which contained $10,000, and vas billed to the Chemical National Bank of this city. Postmaster-General Dickinson was notified of the loss of the package and gave instructions to have a thorough investigation made.- Since Saturday detectives of the postoffice department have been engaged in. a diligent effort to find out where the missing package was abstracted, but thus far nothing has been learned. It was only about a year ago that a package containing $10,000 was ab stracted from a registered mail pouch by a clerk at the New York postoffice. This package was also consigned from Portland, Ore., to the Chemical Na tional Bank, of this city. The thief had concealed the package, but was detected and convicted, and is now serving a sentence in prison. THE ROMANCE OF A LETTER. A Pleasing Narrative of the Strange Chance that Rteunited Two Loves. HARRIsBURG, Pa., August 1 About a year ago a young woman in hicago, to whom Henry Reightmeyer, hief clerk of a hotel in Lewisburg, was ngaged, failed to send him a reply to is last letter, and he was piqued at the neglect and did not write for an expla nation. As time wenlt on and he received no word from her, he became ovinced that she had jilted him for some one else, and he gave her up. The oungl wonman was employed in a large ookbindery in Chicago. Two weeks ago young Reighitmeyer received a let ter addressed to him in the well-known penmanship of his late sweetheart, and other one in a strange chirography, both letters bearin~g the postmark of a town in Mlaine. He opened the girl's letter and found that it was dated in Chicago, nearly a year ago, and wvas the answer that had never come to his .tter. The other letter was from -a traveler on a Maine railroad, who said he had purchased a Chicago magazine on time train on the day his letter was dated. On looking over the magazine he found betwveen the pages a letter held fast in the close binding. It was ad dressed to Henry Reightmneyer, Lewis burg, l'a., and was stamped, but bore no postmark. Thme traveler had mailed it to the address at the irst town he ame to, and wrote the explanation of its discovery. Reightmleye wrote at once to the Chicago girl, telling her the story of her letter. She replied, and the only explanation she could give was that she had placed the letter under some loose sheets of the magazine- she was folding until she could mail it, and had then forgotten that she had not mailed it. The letter had been folded and bound within the sheets without dis -ovy. Not receiving any reply, she, too. had beeni seized with jealous doubts, and was too proud to write again. The correspondence and engage eit have been renewved. A sPRtEAD FOR CLEVELAND. (ontet at a Fair and a Letter From~ the P'rebident to the Fair Donor. CA NAJoAIRIE, N. Y., August 17 At al engine company fair in Sharon Spig recently a bedspread-was voted for as bet ween Cleveland and Harrison. Miss Ola -.oons, daughter of Assembly a Coons, solicited ten cent votes for Cleveland and obtained 87:2 for Cleve land, while Harrison's girl got only :s. Miss.C oons forwarded the spread to the President. receiving this answer, in his own handwriting, this afternoon. "W\sIINOTrON, August 15, 1888. M D)EAl MISS (Nos: have received the beautiful spread which you so nobly won for me at the fair recently held by the Chemical En~ine Company and am very much nLsed with this first result of the cam paign. I think, from what I know of the political sentiments of old Schoha rie, I had at the beginning the advan tage in the contest. I thank you for your eiforts in my behalf and am glad that the cause to which the proceeds of the election were devoted received such a substtial benefit. I shall preserve tie spread carefully, whether it proves to be the only fruit I shall gather from the campaign or not. This much is scured. Yours, very truly, "GROVER CLEVELAND."

Three things are necessary in order that one may be justified in sending anything to the public print. These are: First, something to say; second, long and patient practice in saying it; and third, the acquaintance with good literature which constitutes the best part of a literary education. Although the first of these propositions is too generally dis-regarded, it remains true that the only excuse for writing at all is to have something to say. If this truth were more generally recognized, the pages of trash that encumber our magazines and newspapers, as well as the piles of trash in our book stores, would be considerably depleted.-H. R. Shattuck in The Writer. The new number of the Eclectic Magazine now before us is noticeable among the magazines of the month for its variety and interest. Emile de Laveleye opens with a discussion of "The Future of Religion," which is a suggestive contribution to a subject P which so largely occupies controversial n thought. "In a Conning Tower" is the * title of an article forecasting the details R of the terrible struggle which will take place, when tiro great ironclads of the most improved modern type meet in a sea-duel. Henri Rochefort discusses the Boulangist movement from the frierdly radical standpoint. One of the most interesting papers of the number is by Frances Power Cobbe, "The Scientific Spirit of the Age," and it de plores and castigates the materialistic influence of scientific progress. H. M. Hozier finds England's Real Peril to be the great competition in trade and commerce pushed by other nations. One of the most suggestive contribu tions is the account of the Co-operative Congress in England, which throws light on the only practicable solution to the labor question. There is a capital short story, "A Fortune in a Fort night," by Jessie McLeod, and the first installment of a powerfuf novelette, which is to run through four numbers, "Orthodox," a story of Polish life, by Enil Franzos.

AYEE & Co., Lowell, Hass.,F Gentlemen: -A sense of gratitude and the desire to render a service to the public impel me to make the following statements: My college career, at New Haven, was interrupted by a severe cold which so enfeebled me that, for ten years, I had a hard struggle for life. Hemorrhage from the bronchial passages was the result of almost every fresh exposure. For years I was under treatment of the ablest practitioners without avail. At last I learned of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I which I used (moderately and in smail doses) at the first recurrence of a cold or any chest difficulty, and from which I invariably found relief. This was over 25 years ago. With all sorts of exposure, in all sorts of climates, I have never, to this day, had any cold nor any affection of the throat or lungs which did not yield to AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL within 24 hours. Of course I have never allowed my self to be without this remedy in all my voyages and travels. Under my own - observation, it has given relief to vast numbers of persons; while in acute cases of pulmonary inflammation, such as crou p and diphtheria in children, life( has been preserved throug its effects. I recommend its use in light but fre quent doses. Properly administered, in accordance with your directions, it is Is A Priceless Blessinga in any house. I speak earnestly because dc I feel earnestly. I have known many C. cases of apparently confirmed bronchitis al and cough, with loss of voice, particu- ai larly among clergymen and other public speakers, perfectly cured by this medi cine.

About a third of a century ago a New Yorker was traveling through Texas lecturing on astronomy and illustratin his lectures with globes, charts anl inagie lantern pictures. He evidently possesse<l more etithusiasni in the in terest of science than he did practical coliilon sense, or lie would never have fallen into thc" trap deliberately set for hiuial:l ueeUl1e the sUhject of the followiing practical joke. The lecturer arrived at Athens an<d cistributed his hand-bills. Ie had a fine audieneeof severai huilre<l persons who were in teres.te< antI ast iinished. 1le told them how tihe planetar"y sy-tern wasarranged; tow the sun sltoil still and all the >ther ilan(ts reolveld arondt it. He explai)d to theni that the earth \ was rouind anl revolve<'cu its axis once in every twclnty-four IotUrs. A tier the lecture was coneludted, a rou :-looking young m!an arose inl the aulience anid said, adiressing the lee turer: "Sir, do T unuerstad you to say that the sun stand- still and the earth turns up-ile <ldwn once every day?'" The iectuirer r(nlied that t he science of astroniomyiV so taught and that he so believel. The you!ng nilan, who wvas none other than Bill 31artin, a young lawyer, who has si nce beeolle celebrated as "Howdy I Bill 'Martin' of Texas, challenged the I lecturer to a joint discussion of the question. 'T'le challenge was inimediate ly accepted, and it was agreed to leave the decision to three arbiters there selected by the parties. If the decision1 should he in favor of the lecturer, ] Martin was to pay him $l00, and if in favor of the young lawyer, the lecturer was to leave all his globes, charts and pictures there and leave the State, and go hon e and earn an honest living, as Martin expressed it. The joint dis cussion begal the next morning and continiuel for two <lays before an 11ninense autlience. ''hc three arbiters sat on the stage and looked as wise as three owls. Martin poured hot shot thiek and fast into the New Yorker, He quoted Scripture, and especially that part where Joshua coimanded the sun to staul still. He a :aled to the comnion sense of the peo1e, many of wholi had traveled froni the old States to Texas and had never seen any evi dences of the rotundity of the earth. He accused the lecturer of trying to fool the people with his new-fingled ide.. , and trying to lead them astray from the faith of their fathers. He also mildly intimated that the propagators of such notions ought to be taken up and burned for heresy. The earnest manner and stentorian voice of Martin, with his charge of heresy and the usual punishment therefor, made the New Yorker tremble in his shoes. The lecturer's polished argument and scientific dissertation were unavailing. The-arbiters retired at the close of the discussion and returned in a few min utes with the verdict' that "tile sun does move and the earth is flat." The lecturer was crestf4'len. He doubtless thought he had met the lot of heathens on earth. Heneversaw the point ofthe joke. He retired from the lecture-field, leaving his whole out fit in the hands of the victorious ene my. One of the arbiters was Toni Murchison, who was elected by the Fort Worth Convention this week as a delegate from the Second Congressional District of Texas to the National Demo cratic Convention at St. Louis.
