TREACHERY IN THE REPUBLICAN CAMP. Tbe members of the Republican party in South Caroliua are i i tbe sorest straits at pre.-eut, aud are lamenting bitterly their uuwise ac tioti ol several jears ago, when they accepted the support of the Inde* peodents against the Democrats. From all appearances, these Inde pendents have succeeded in gaining the ear of tbe advisers of the Presi dent, aud the indications are that the “government pap” in South Car-liua will be bestowed upon them to tbe exclusion of their Re publican allies, who, whatever may be their ftults, ate immeasurably superior to the “blatherskites” who call themselves ( Independents.” chase of the jail site, it would be manifestly unfair to “get even” with these three or four citizens by acting against the interests of the whole town. The large majority of us know uothiug about tbe merits ot tbe pro|»osed trade, aud are auima ted solely by a desire to see the now jail erected at some {mint uot on the Squaie.

That estimable journal is mistaken, however, in asserting that when a fire breaks out, the leading citizens ot the town raise their flout windows and discba'ge their pistols iu the air No, indeed; the leading citizens ot tbe towu, who have a proper regard for the welfare ot their lives and limbs, tetire to their residences wilh their fami’ies, aud shut all the Florence Still Protests It will be remembered that after the County Commissioners of Dar- In gtou and Florence had failed to agree on the subject of the survey, our Commissioners, on Match 2dtb, addiessed a communication to the Florence Boaid informing them that Maj. Geo. W. Barld would be giu tbe survey on the part ot Dar licgton on Tuesday, May 9tli, and again requesting tbe Plot once Com missioners to have a maj ou the ground to represent them. In an swer to tjiat comuiuuic.-tiou tbe following preamble uud resoluiio.is have been reieivcd from the Flor ence Boaid: Whireas, certain resoiuti ma of the Board ot Coau’.y Commissi, u- ers of Darlington county of date of March 25,1889, have beeu received, notifying this botrd that George W.

In all crustaceans, ns, indeed,, in al most everything in nature, there is u certain per cent, of iron. Upon boiling tbo lobster tho iron is oxidized. This effect fo largely duo also to the percent age of muriatic acid which exists natur ally in the shell. The chemical change which takes place here fo almost similar to that which occurs in the burning of a brick. In boiling a lobster its coat ceases to be a living substance, and to a certain extent it takes a new character. It fo os a brick would bo after burning. This effect can also be produced by the sun, but necessarily not so rapidly, as the heat of that luminary, although more intense, fo not concentrated sufficiently to produce the result. The sun also ex ercises a bleaching influence, which con sumes tho oxide almost us fast os it Is formed, leaving the shell white or nearly pure lime.—Washington Republic. runs and Paustero. Doth Hood and Hook—perhaps we might add 1‘onson also—were punsters by profession. But there are puns ex tant by unknown authors which either might have felt a pride in owning. A Cambridge fellow, walking with u visi tor, met by chance tho master of St. John's on horseback. “Who fo that?" inquired the visitor. “That," replied the other, "is St. John's head on a charger." Wo are given instances of puns which have only ono defect, they are too witty to bo used. Thus “the heir of the duke of Penthievro died In 1764, ruined by an attachment to an opera singer, Mile. Mire." The wits of Paris made his epitaph of five notes of music—“Ml re I’ami la"—"Mire haa brought him there." —San Francfoco Argonaut Tea, They Disagree. A well known physician of this city, finding himself rather “out of sorts," de termined to consult seme of hfo medical brethren on the subject, for few physi cians like to trust themselves with them selves. He accordingly called upon fire eminent members of the faculty In suc cession, and It is a positive fact that each one of them gave a different opin ion os to the nature of his disorder, and recommended a different mode of treat ment. It fo hfo own belief that they were all wrong.—New York Ledger. Buffalo Bill’* Rauch. “Buffalo Bill's” ranch fo located on the North Platte, in Nebraska, and con tains nearly five thousand acres of fine land. Mr. Cody has about two hundred head of thoroughbred horaea and two to three thousand head of cattle.

Cody’s (‘Buf falo Bill’) Scouts' Ranch,” and over It every day there floats a big American flog.—Philadelphia Times.
