■■ Jarltngton Hifira. HENRY T. THOMPSON, | WADDY THOMPSON, \ Editors. Thursday, Pel. <3, 1892. THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK. The outlook for the election of flrover Cleveland is becoming more encouraging every day. Everything is working harmon- • iously for the Democratic party. The New York leaders, who opposed Cleveland’s nomination, have fallen into line and are working earnestly for the suc cess of the ticket. David K Hill is conspicuous for his loy alty to the party. He was Cleveland's leading opponent for the nomination and his am bition is centred on the Presi dency. His disaj>pointmept in failing to secure the nomination must have been, therefore, great, but he is not sulking; he has manfully smothered his disappointment and has gone to work, like a true Democrat, in the interest of his party. His course during the present campaign, and more especially his recent eloquent speeches at Brooklyn and Buffalo, have done much toward eliminating from the public mind theprevalentidea that he is no more than a po litical trickster. Hill has rais ed himself considerably in the estimation of the American peo pie. There is still another source from which the Democrats may derive satisfaction. “Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good” may be applied to the Third party. The success of the Third party in the South would mean a loss of Democrat ic St ites and, consequently, a victory for the Republican party and the enactment of the force bill, with all the horrors to the South that will follow the passage of this intiquitous law. In the Northwest and the extreme West the Third party bears a different relation to the Democratic party and we must confess that we note its increas ing prospect of success in those sections with pleasure. The success of the Third party out there means loss* of States to the Republicans and, if this does not give the Presidency to ihe Democrats through the Electoral College, it will throw the contest into the House of Representatives, which will give the election to Cleveland. THE GEORGIA ELECTION. The Third party has suffered another Waterloo. Harder work was done by the party in Georgia than in any other State in the South and loud were the boasts of the Third partyites th»t they would wrest the State from Democracy. Tom Wat son, the leader of the party in the South, is a Georgian and this, coupled with the fact that all the talent and money availa ble to the Third party was used in the recent State campaign, gave an unusual significance to the State election on Wednes day of last weeek. So many boasts were made about what the Third party would do in Georgia that it was naturally thought that it would accom plish moref'an itdid. It really accomplished nothing and, so far as Georgia is concerned, the party is wiped out of existence. Governor Northen, the Dem ocratic nominee, has a majority of 70,055. The Third party candidate for Governor was de feated in hisown county. There are one hundred and thirty-sev en counties in the State and the Democrats carried all except eight. All the Senatorial dis tricts went Democratic, except two, which are in doubt. In the House of Representatives there will be four Republicans and ten Third partyites. The rest are Democrats. Georgia Democracy is like the Democracy in this State. It is rock bound and no Third party craze will swerve it from its firm position: In fact the Third par ty does not seem to flourish anywhere in the South. Des pite their wild and boastful talk, the Third partyites have been defeated at every election. In Arkansas and Florida their de feat has been no less complete than in Georgia. Even in Ala bama, where Kolb turned trai tor to his party and carried with him many oi his misguided fol lowers, Democracy was success ful. The Third party in the South is defeated in its infancy. C«pt. Andrews arrived at Palos, Spain, on the 5 inst. He had crossed the Atlantic Oiean from New Jersey, alone in a sixteen foot boat. STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges, And Put in Paragraphs. Congressman JohnJ. Hemp hill will participate by special i -vitation in the Democratic campaign in the North. A negro woman and her two children were killed by lighting while in a field in Spartanburg county on Tuesday of last week. Willie Cooper, a young white man, shot a negro near St Charles, Sumter county, on Saturday. The negro is said to be mortally wounded. Governor Tillman and State Treasurer Bates are in New York looking after the refund ing of the State debt. Con- cressman Brawley will assist them in the work. Five persons were hanged in South Carolina for murder on Friday. Three were men, one white and two colored, one a colored woman and the other a colored girl only fifteen years old. The President has pardoned James Johnson, who was con victed in this State in August for pasing counterfeit money and sentenced to three years im prisonment in the Ohio peniten tiary. J R. Keels, a young Sumter lawyer, whose arrest sometime ago on the charge of forgery caused considerable sensation, was convicted last week. He was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. An appeal has been made to the Supreme Court and Keels has been re leased on a $l,tX)0 bond. Nora Standish was thrown from a carriage at Coldwater, Mich, last week, and her neck was broken. The physician made two men, one taking her by the feet, and the other by the head pull her with all their might. The bones sprang into place with a snap and she soon recovered consciousness and will live The Coincident Cume of Gold. The goIdKeekere of both America and Australia have a singular but well grounded superstition that the discover ers of hidden treasures are sure to meet wirti violent deaths. The et-giutl pro prietors of between thirty-five and forty of the most prosperous gold and silver mines in this country are known to have come to just such ends. Out of the forty or less twelve were shot or stabbed to death in saloon or other broils, five committed suicide, three were engulfed by landslides, five turned murderers or robbers and were caught and executed in various ways, one fell into a boiling spring and had the flesh literally stewed from his bones, while the others have disappeared and no one knows what ever became of them. George H. Fryer, once the millionaire proprietor of the Fryer Hill mine, com mitted suicide in Denver after spending the last nickel between himself and star- vatiou. The discoverer of the great Stan dard mine, in California, was caught and swallowed up in an avalanche; Colonel Story was killed by Indians; William Fairweather, of the famous Alder Gulch mine, died with the “frenzied horrors” after a continuous two years' debauch. "Farrell of Meadow Lake” died with a terrible disease in a San Francisco hospital. The owner of that great mine, the Homestake, became a highwayman and was shot while robbing SEWAGE OF LONDON. IT IS TAKEN OUT TO SEA AND SCAT TERED OVER THE WAVES. ItfftiiltN of a Moflorn Sy*t«*in of DUpo*. Inif of Iho Great City** Sewage--’Ibe Method of Separating the Sludge from the KfHuettt—(.'lean Shlpit. “Oh, how unpleasantl The idea of go ing to sea with sludge!" On the con- >ary. you know nothing of it. The deck of the sludge ship is broad and clean; the deck house or “saloon” small but comfortable; on the bridge a fresh breeze is blowing: the sunlight sparkles brightly on the ruttied surface of the river, and you scarce cau realize that this fine steamer is carrying a thousand tons of London sludge out to sea. Yet such is the fart. The idea that the •mud barges" of the county council, which take out the precipitated portion of London sewage to the Barrow deep, are simply dirty dredges is quite a mis take. They are powerful twin screw steamships, worked by two sets of triple expansion engines, and fitted with three targe tanks, kept covered, and abso lutely free from nuisance to anybody, even to the seamen on board. They can make two tri[>s out to sea in every twenty-five hours, steaming about ten knots, and, as a matter of fact, they thus dispose of 41,000 tons of sludge in a week. The sludge is precipitated by treat ing the sewage with lime and sulphate of iron. First, six huge cages catch debris, such as sticks aud dead rats and eels, etc., in the great rushing sewers which drain London. This rubbish is burned in destructors at the rate of something like a hundred tons a week; then the black river of sewage is stirred in tanks with lime—or. more correctly, lime water—in the proportion of abont 8' 2 grains to the gallon. The effect of the lime is to precipitate matter in sus- [wnsion and solution and also to deodor ize. Yon may take a smelling bottle with yon if you like, but with plenty of lime abont yon will hardly need it. But walking on along the top of the twenty- seven feet wide sewer, which is probably to become a beantifnl boulevard for Barking, one comes to the sulphate of iron “shop,” where 250 tons at a time are received, and where, after being dis solved in the proper porportion as di rected by the chemist in charge, it, too, finds its way to the swift river of sew age. But then comes a pause in the river's mad career. It is admitted through the Fenstock chamber—that is, a building with a number of iron gates—to a set of covered precipitating channels, where it can leisurely meditate after its wild rushings from London. Here in its qniet bed the lime and iron, in casting down the solid portions, cau taks full effect, and the clear |>ortiou of the liquid at the top—uo.v called the effluent— is let off over the head of a wall at the end of the chamber to a channel at the other side; whence, gathering spee<’ again, it rushes to a reservoir, from which at ebb tide it joins the Thames. 'Die sludge passes through pipes from the bottoms of the precipitating cham bers to another reservoir, whence it is pumped to the tanks in the slndge ships and conveyed to sea. The effect on the river is most satis factory. On the testimony of the bar bor master it is cleaner now than it has been for some years, while Mr. Thudi- chum, the chemist at the Barking “out fall” works, joyfully maintains it has 50 per cent, of oxygen, which it has not rejoiced in for some summers past. But the clean foreshore and the scent of sea weed at Barking, and the much purer looking water in the Thames itself, are proofs to the nninitiated of the success of the “new" system. That system is only now getting into full working order. The county coun cil have added two more shipe to the fleet, making now five in all; and they are conveying some 40,000 tons of kludge out to sea every week. Four shipe are constantly at work day and night, aud DalWiIss la Karepaaa Arailes. The Anstri m army takes the lead in the matter of suicides. From 1875 to 1887 a yearly average of 132 suicides is recorded for every 100,000 effective troop*. In 1889 the number was 149. Death by aniride represents a fifth part of the whole mortality of the Austrian army. No disease is more deadly. The Germans report about half the number; the Italian army about one-third; the French army abont one-fourth; the Eng lish army in the home service abont one- sixth; the rate in the Russian army is nearly the same, while in the Spanish army it is least of all. There are some enrions facts abont these suicides, in the European armies, especially In Austria, It is the young sol diers who kill themselves during the first month of their service. Suicides are the most frequent among the cavalry and infantry, and in the latter among the soldiers who are accused and await ing trial. The most frequent method is shooting, thongh hanging and drowning are fre quent methods. The infantry use fire arms and usually aim at their beads. The mounted soldiers hang themselves by their horse bridles. The Algerian soldiers almost always shoot themselves through the body, perhaps because the Arabs think it is iufamons to mntilate the head. In Austria a third of the sui cides are attributed to a distaste for military dnty; in France, love trouble is a frequent cause; the fear of punish ment is everywhere a great incentive. The maximnm of suicides is reached in the hottest weather, and the minimum is reached in the coldest weather.—Bos ton Herald. a stage coach.

It took ten years to complete them, and once finished their extraordinary size caused them to lie packed away in the storehouse of Les Gobelins, whence they were not extracted even to lie ex hibited at the exhibitions of 1878 and 1889. They are the finest articles of the kind that have been produced for the French government since Louis XIV or dered “ninety-three carpets for cere monies and festivals” to be manufac tured at La Savonnerie for tbe great ballrooms and reception rooms of tbe Louvre aud of Versailles.

How Sir Gsvsn Duffy Looked. Mrs. Carlyle, in her "Journal,” thus describes Sir Charles Gavan Duffy as lie North Knot buoy. The discharge is quickly effected by o|ieuing valves in the vessel’s bottom; tbe principle being much the same as that nsed on the self emptying lifeboat—whieh, indeed, is but an adaptation of the law that water finds its own level, the bottom of the tanks being built on a level with the sea. Tbe valves are easily opened from tbe deck, and eo quick is their action that the whole thousand tons can t>e discharged in seven minutes. Generally the time occupied, however, is longer, the vessel perhaps steaming ten miles while empty ing her strange cargo. The white wake of the ship is discolored, gulls liover over it, aud then among the tumbling waves and the tresh breezes the sludge is gone. The mind can hardly grasp the fact that a hundred million gallons of sewage pour down tbe huge drain to Barking every twenty-four hours. But if we think for a moment that this immense mass of sludge wonld, but for the ships, have been discharged into the Thames between Gravesend and London bridge. looked in 1844 daring a visit he paid to a nd be washing backward and forward “the sage of Chelsea:" “Mr. Duffy quite j with the tides, aud that this would be took my husband s fancy, and mine also always going on month after month, we to a certain extent. ith the coarsest j may begin to have some conception of of human faces, decidedly as like a | the benefit gained.—St. James Gazette horse’s as a man's, he is one of the people ! that I should get to think beantifnl.” Th« Modsra \xmj. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy himself tells In India they drown a great many of this story; An artist named Cromley the girl babies. It is a time honored painted his portrait and bestowed on custom, but not universally approved him a dreamy poetic face which might have passed for Shelley’s. The portrait was shown to Daniel O’Connell by the artist in presence of Duffy. “Is not that very like Duffy,” said Cromley. “H'm,” sa’d O'Connell, looking freai the por trait to the original, “I wish Duffy was very like that.”—London Star. A Ktatne of Jupiter Olympoe. There is a difference of opinion as to which of the seven wonders of the world deserves the title of the “most magnifi cent." and as the majority of these won ders have disappeared it is somewhat difficult to arrive at a true decision. The evidence appears, however, to be pretty fairly Iwlaiiced between the gold and ivory statue of Jnpiter Olympus and the Tempi* of Diana, at Ephesns. The sta tue of J u pi ter was the work of Phidias, a celebrated Athenian sculptor; it stood sixty fest high and it is said to have ex hibited a marvelous representation of the grandeur, state and dignity which are naturally associated with tinman ideas of the awfnl majesty of the “king of gods and men;” indeed, according to an ancient Greek epigram, it seemed that either Phidias had ascended to heaven to sketch Jupiter, or Jupiter had descended to earth to sit to Phidias. The god was clad in a robe of solid gold, garnished with lilies and other Bowers, aim fonr golden lions supported his footstool. The throne was of cedar, inlaid with ebony, gold, ivory and pre- cions stones, with sculptured representa tions of the destruction of Niobe's chil dren. the contests of Hercules and other exploits of the heroic age; at the back of the throne were the Honrs and the Graces; at each corner a figure of Vic tory danced upon a Sphinx, who was tearing a Theban youth. The almost superhuman magnificence of this great work daxzled all sncceeding artists, threw them into despair and absolutely set at defiance all couqietition.—Brook lyn Eagle. A.trmiomy of tho Ancient Egyptians. We find in the table at the Ramesseum distinct references to the bull, the lion and the scorpion, and it is also clearly indicated that at that time the star Sirins rose heliacally at tbe beginning of the rise of the Nile. The word heliacally requires a little explanation. The ancients, who had n> telescopes and had to use their horizon as the only scientific instrnment which they possessed, were very careful in deter mining the various conditions in which a star conld rise. For instance, if a star were rising at the same time as the snn was rising, it was said to rise cosmically, but unless certain very obvious precau tions were taken the rising star would not be seen in consequence of the pres ence of daylight. It is quite clear that if we observe a star rising in the dawn it will get more and more difficult to observe the nearer the time of sunrise is approached. Therefore, what the ancients did was to determine a time before sunrise in the early dawn at which the star conld be very obviously and clearly seen to rise. The term “heliacal rising” was coined to represent a star rising visibly in the dawn, therefore, before the sun. Gen erally throughont Egypt the sun was supposed to be something like ten de grees below the horizon when a star was stated to nse heliacally.—Nineteenth Century. A Quarter** Worth. Not long ago 1 was in a New York store baying cloth for a new cloak when a tall and elegantly dressed lady entered and asked to see some cloakings. She told tbe clerk she wished to match a cloak and had no sample, bat she thought she'd know the stuff when she saw it. That poor clerk pulled down roll upon roll of goods for her inspec tion, and at length she fonnd what she wished. “How mnch a yard is that?” she in quired. “Five dollars, madam,” he replied. “Very well; 1 don’t wish mnch—just enough to finish a cuff on my cloak. Let me see—five dollars—I think a quar ter’s worth will be plenty." The clerk fumbled in his pocket a mo ment, produced a quarter, pnt it on the cloth aud ent out exactly the size of the quarter, and before the astonished worn- an conld say a word he pnt her quarter with the piece of cloth and sent it to tho desk. She waited for the basket to re- tarn and then quickly left the store. The clerk spoiled the cloth, bnt he .till has his place.—New York Recorder. Earthworint.
