ton ami Marlboro Comities at an
eat 1> day. This road will proba
bly run frotu Augus-a to Scatter,
aud from t..e latter place will go
through the Pee Dee Section of the
State. While it would have to
diverge somewhat to pass through
the courthouses of Darlington and
Marlboro Count ten, there ia reason
to believe that this divergence
would be readily agreed to it the
corporators were to le.'eive a cer
tain degree of encouragement from
the two towns. That the people of
Darlington are at last aroused to
the importance of having another
railroad, there can lie no longer any
denbt, aud It la Mid that those of
Bennettaville are of the seme mind.
With matters in this condition, we
firmly expect to see another road
completed to Darlington within the
course of the next two years.

A JUST VERDICT.
If the conviotion ami teutence of
Johu L. Sullivan to twelve mouths
imprisonment for prize fighting
prove* anything, it is that the offi
cers of Mississippi are determined
to msintsiu the dignity of the law
and allow no blot to smirch the
fair name of that great state. Tbeie
can be no doubt last Sullivan wmh
guilty of violation of the law aud
his prompt conviotion stands ms sii
example worthy of emulation by
the officers of other States where
convictions are rare.
A> Judge Terrell, who presided
at the trial, well says ia regard to

^orirjr lo B« Sung.
A reader of the lyric poetry of the
Elizabethan age ia struck with it*
adaptation to music, ita limpidity and
directness of utterance.
“Each composition. ” says Mr. J. A
Symondx, in The Fortnightly Re
view, “is meant to be sung, and can
be sung, because the poet's soul was
singing when he made it”
The lyrics of the present age possess
but little of this quality, ifegy-
monds once asked Jennie Lind why
Shelley's lyrics were ill adapted to
to musio. She made him read aloud
to her the “Song of Pan" and "To the
Night." Thao she pointed out that

WHY THEY WEAR DIAMONDS.
■•tel Ctork Sap* It Gives a Keek *4
ft—y irity.
“That's all right about joking th*
hedd clerks about their big dia
monds," said the hotel clerk as he
reached over tho desk as though he
intended to grab the writer. “I hon
estly think that when newspaper men
have to write a four or five line joke
to fill in thiy tackle the hotel man
and his diamonds. Well, if there is a
class of people in all this world who
ought to wear diamondx, they are the
hotel clerks. They are an all suffering
class as sure as you live. Why. if
they were treated right they would
be presented by adminng friends with
diamonds and watches galore, day in
and day out through the entire year.
“Now, let me give you a pointer on
how the clerks all seem to hitch on lo
diamonds. The hotel clerk takes to
the glittering stones like a duck tak<-s
to water. Now, the proni i.-tor of tin-
hotel wants the man who stands be
hind the desk to be as neat us a pin.
It gives the house a standing. You
cannot think of a hotel dark in Dos
ton who is not a well dreisc.1 rtan.
They must dress well, and If tiicv did
not the trade would Degin to full olf
Then, to make things stronger, me
clerk must of necessity wear dia
monds. This is to give the house an
air of proeperity which it would not
otherwise have, perhapa. The propri
etors want their men to wear precious
stones. It gives the guest* a chance
to say, 'Well, these fellows are pretty
well paid and the house must be doing
a pretty good business when they all
wear cm.’ 8o you can see why it is
the moment a man gets a position as
hotel clerk he at once
and buys a diamond,
business.
“It is a wonder to me," continned
the clerk thoughtfully, “that more
hotel clerks do not die from nervous
prostration. Why, there are days that

know what my name ia I feel com

answer questions to about fifteen at a
time. Then the questions which are

I really and honestly
the moment a man with the average
amount of common sense stands before
a hotel clerk he forgets all that he
ever knew. There was a fellow here
a moment since who asked me if the
mtleman in 4$ wa* in. 1 answered
it he was not ‘When will he come

very silly questions followed.
“1 know It’s an eld minstrel gag,
but one granger asked me yesterday
what time the 4 o'clock train left for
Worcester. We are expected to know
everything, and if we do not know U
all a majority of the guests kick and
•ay that we are stupid. From the mo
ment a clerk goes on duty until he
leaves his desk, life is a burden. He
doe* not have a single moment’s hap
piness.”
The diamond stud glittered in the

The quantity of champagne n
Rhainw aud Kpernay, France, ie al
most incredible. A great
sense is written and spoken on this
point. One is gravely told that more
champagne is urunk in Russia alone
than all the vineyards of France could
supply, aud that America—well. Amer
ica g^te cider for champagne. The fact
is that it is very difficult to smuggle
champagne into KuKsiaj and every
bottle which goes there ts recorded at
the custom house ou the frontier, for
the Russian tux is righty cents a hot
tie. England and America consume
more cliampagne titan all the other
nations put together, excepting
France. The supply is equal to the
demand, despite tne fact that America
imports more champagne every year.
One house in Rhcims alone exports
two nnllionn of bottles of champagne
yearly, all high class wines, too.
Front the entire champagne district of
France, there was exported last year
twenty millions of bottles of cham
pagne, eight millions of bottles of
which came to America.—Exchange.

Wo have in the caso of electric
waves along a wire a disturbance out
side the wire and a current within it,
aud tin- equations of Max we W allow
us to calculate these with [lerfect ac
curacy and give all the laws with re
spect to them.
W e thus find that the velocity of
propagation of the waves along a wire,
hung far away from other bodies and
made of good conducting material,
is that of light, or 186,000 miles per
second; but when it is hung near any
conducting matter, like the earth, or
inclosed in a cable and sunk into the
sea, the velocity becomes much less
When hung in space, away from
other bodies, it forms, as it were, the
core of a system of waves in the ether,
the amplitude of the disturbanee be
coming less and less as wo move away
from the wire. But the most curioos
fact is that the electric current pene
trates only a short distance into the
wire, being mostly confined to the
surface, especially where the number
of oscillations per second is very
great—H. A. Rowland.

Supernatural, almost diabolical, la
fluenees are attributed to the fa
mous upas tree, which, aecordiug to
all accounts, is so deadly that
if a hot wind pomes over it
an odor is carried along which
is fatal to whoever breathes it Old
letters, written from Paris in IMS by
“The Turkish Spy,” describe a plant
cultivated in a garden in the city that
blast* all that grows within ten cubits
of its root*. They call it “ill neigh
bor." He declares that there was*
withered circle around it, while the
tree itself was green and thrifty.
There is a tradition of apoison or upas
tree that grows in the Island of Java,
irom which a putrid steam rises arid
kills whomsoever it touches. Foersch,
a Dutch physician (178S), says:
“Not a tree or a blade of grass is to be
found in the valley or surrounding
mountains Not a beast or bird or
reptile or living thing lives ia the
vicinity.
“On one occasion 1,600 refugees en
camped within fourteen miles of it,
and all but 800 died within two
months.” The falsehood of this story
is exposed by Bennett, who says: "Th*
tree (upas), while growing, is quite
innocuous, though the juice may be
used for poison; the whole neighbor
hood is most richly covered with
vegetation; men may fearlessly walk
under the tree and birds roost in its
branches." Darwin, in his “Lovesof
the Plants," has perpetuated Foersch's
fable when he says:
Oa the blasted heath
r*B Upa* Mia the h/dra tree *4 dead*.
It is probable that the fable of the
blighting influence of the upus tree
has been derived from tho fact that
there is in Java a small tract of land
on which nothing can live. This is
caused, not by the “fell upas," but by
emanations of carbonic arid gas,
which are constantly going on. At
the same time, it is quite true that the
juice of the upas is a deadly poison.—

Luther had often stood with other*
of his youthful companions in the
streets of Mannsfoldana Magdeburg in
the bitter cold, singing for tne meager
fara of a piece of Dreed and e cup of
warm drink. A story is told that
Luther was one day singing in the
streets of Eisenach “Pam m proper
Deum” in tones soappealing that Frau
Cotta frantically brushea from her
house, and, returning with the
boy, gave him a seat at bor
well filled board. But the Cttr-
rende was of more importance to
Luther as a training school than as a
means of bringing him daily bread.
All the boys were carefully instructed
in homophony and polyphony. This
early tuition was afterwards of inesti
mable comfort to the young man, and
more especially during the years he
entered into the cloister. Tho youngf
Augustin* monk often chased his
melancholy away when in the monas
tery at Eriurt by playing on the hit*
It ia related that one day, after » self
inflicted chastisement, he was found*
in a fainting condition in his cell, and
that his cloistered brethren recalled
him to consciousness by soft musio,
well knowing that music was the bal
sam for all wounds of the troubled
mind of their “dear Martinua" A»
an instrumentalist Luther excelled fry
the playing of the lute and flute, and
as a singer was gifted with a clear and
powerful voice, which he retained al
most to the end of bis hfe. —Cassell's

“Yes, sir; those two diamonds k>

comment than the Koh-i-nor would if
it were in their place,” said a Broad

“Those three Word* 'Which is-gon-
uine?’ which 1 have placed on the card
with then) have caused hundreds of
people to enter the store and repeat
the inquiry to us. The other day two
young men, attired in the latest fash
ion, stood outside for over fifteen
minutes and indulged in a heat
ed argument as to which was-
genuino. Each claimed with much
confidence tluzl the stone he
named was the only real diamond,
and intimated by various innuendoes
that his companion did not know
what he was talking about. Finally,
a wager of five dollars waa made be
tween the two, and they both came
inside the store and eagerly asked ms
to decide their wager.
“ 'Gentlemen,’ 1 said, 'you can ar
range between yourselves who is the
winner; all 1 can tell you is that both
those stones are genuine diamonds
“The blank look on those young
men’s countenances when they hearu
this would have made anybody smile,
and it was several minutes before I
recovered sufficiently to inquire which
was to receive the five dollars."
