Fremont's g rea) mistake in life was in trying tov become ;V -a politician. He had won an honora ble name as an explorer and Iudiao fighter, but fell from grace when he be came a candidate for. political, prefer ment. It requi^? great strength ol character to be ah- office holder in the * Republican party and not become7a de? faulter.

This bill is intended to right a wrong that should have been remedied eighty years ago. VThe claimants whose prop? erty was distroyed by French war ves? sels, about the close of the last century, have all died, and their children for the most part are dead, and the parties who will succeed in getting pay for these damages will, in most cases have no shadow of claim except an accidental . legal one. ?' The Pensylvania Legislature will deserve a vote of thanks from badlv created wives, if the bili now before it for the punishment of wife-beaters by giving them a taste of the whipping post Becomes a law. It *woald be a most enlivening example of poetic jus? tice to see the man wbo has just beaten Bis wife stretched up to the whipping post and receiving 39 lashes. If any man desarves a flogging, it is the brute who will kick and maltreat his family Because he was fool enough to get drunk. Col. John C. Spooner, the new Sen? ator from Wisconsin has some things said about him that does not indicate any special fitness for the Senator's work. The Chicago Herald says: "Spooner is a Colonel who got his title in the dread capacity of Military Secre? tary to the Governor of the State. He has a great gift of gab, and can talk a pine woods audience into hysterics with? out trying, bat his * greatest claim to distinction is the fact that he has been for a number of years a very persistent railroad lobbyist at the State capital. There is a school of purists in the North whose members are so exquisitely cuitarcd that any deviation from "the correct thing," in writing or speaking, is as great a shock t? their"nervous sys? tem as would be a douche from a bucket of water over the head of an ordinary mortal when the thermometer is hover? ing around zero. Edward Everett Hale ha? a sort of honorary membership in that exquisite organization, but de? spite the fraternal affection teat should exist ia such a society, the remaining members are guying him unmercifully for using * transpired" when he should Bare said "happened." The State Legislatures, io a number of States .have recommcodeJ their fa- ? vor?te sons tb the consideration of Gov? ernor Cleveland and ask appointments for the same. Messrs. Springer. ViiasJ McDonald and Jarvis have each bee? named by their respective $ tates, and j if this thing goes on through the entire I list, Mr. Cleveland will..?ave a large amount of unnecessary apolitical .timber on his hands. We "think this " very silly and cordially agree with the Bos? ton Post which says : 'The best service the party can do the incoming Presi? dent and the country is to leave him free to follow the dictates of his own judgment aided by the counsel of such advisers as he may select. If bc had requested the Democrats of any State to designate their mao, that would be one thing, but he bas supposed, and rightly, that the nominating power be? longed to him, and that it is bis duty to exercise it, leaving to the Senate the work of confirmation.' THE SUMTER MAIL ROUTES, We are in receipt of continual com? plaints at the non-reception of our pa? per at some of the offices in the county, more especially those which receive their Sumter mail all the way around by Charleston. : We have said but little about the abe surd mail route that has been establish? ed for Smithville and Providence, be? cause we thought it useless to complain, but it is a crael hardship to* bave our former convenient mail facilities chang? ed into the present stupid plan. A let* ter to Providence could, before the | J change, reach that office two hours af ter it was written, but under the pres? ent enlightened system, it goes to Charleston one night, comes - back over the S. C. Hoad the next day, and on the third day gets to Providence about twelve o'clock, all this to reach an office just II miles from town. And what is j j said of Providence, can also be said of Smithville, except as to distance. The mails are delayed, they pass through distributing offices on the Camden road that are not accustomed to such work, and all for nothing. There can not possibly by any saving in the present plan, and it is an unalloyed nuisance. Last week, we understand, that our sub? scribers at Smithville received no papers at all, and broken packages, missing papers, and stupid blundering- seem to be the mle in reference to mail matter sent in that direction. If the P. O. Department desires to conform to the convenience and accommodation of nur citizens, the old plan will be resumed at once. ROSS A SHOT. O'Donovan Rossa, the greatest blath? erskite in New York, the editor of the organ of the Dynamiters, and the most perfect nuisance io the' country, was shot yesterday in New. York by a young English woman, and slightly wounded. The excitement in New York was intense, and the great dynamiter was soon surrounded by crowds of friends breathing vengeance against Albion and ber allies. The young woman who did the shooting, (a Mrs. Dudley,3 was arrested and locked up, and Rossa walked to the nearest hospital and was put under medical treatment. Mr. B. B. Riordan. _ / : The field of journalism in South Caro? lina has sustained its greatest blow by the withdrawal of Mr. B. R. Riordan from active connection with The News and Courier. Mr. Riordan's first visit to dur State was in 1860, whither he came to report the proceedings of the National Democratic Convention that met in the spring of that year io Charles? ton. Subsequently he connected him-' self with the reportorial staff of the Charleston Mercury, edited by Colonel R. Barnwell Rhett-a paper that was feared by its enemies, but beloved by its friends. From that time on he has been a leading figure io Charleston journalism, being at different times on the Mercury " the Courier, the Daily News, and afterward The News and Courier.-Charleston Sunday Dis jpatch. Columbia Seminary Professors. The board of directors of the Colum? bia Seminary, at their meeting io Augusta, elected Rev. J. A. Lefever, D. D., of Baltimore, and J. D. Tad lock, D. D., of Bristol, Tennesee, as successors to Rev. C. A. Hemphill, D. D., and Wm. E. Boggs, D. D. The 'Perkins Chair,' formerly occupied by Dr. Woodrow, will not be filled for the present. Major D. B. Townsend, President of the Cberaw and Darlington Railroad, was stricken with paralysis last week. It is hoped that he will soon recover. The editor of the Abbeville Medium, who is a member of the Legislature, made inquiry of the different members' as to the size of their families, and gives the following as tbe result. One mem? ber bas 14 children ; one has ll ; one, 10 ; three have 9 each and so it runs on until the total number is 402 children. One Senator only 44 years old and who has been married only once is the hap? py father of 16 living children. 'A newspaper makes its support by advertising, and it is just as 'cheeky' to ask one to advertise free as it would be to ask a merchant for a suit of clothes or a barrel of flour .free. A newspaper makes itself cheap and ruins its own business when it gives free puffs and uotices to everything that comes along.' -Newberry Observer. Last autumn, among the guests at a shooting lodge in Scotland, was a young and beautiful Australian lady, with the additional attractions of $15, 000 a year of her own. She moved about a good deal with the shooting parties, and in doing so had many op? portunities of observing a rathor good looking young gamekeeper. Observa? tion betrat fancy, and fancy love. We are told if there is one thing which dis? tinguishes Australians from Americans and English it is decision of character and promptness of action. So, when she realized her feelings, she at " once took quick action, proposed, was ac? cepted, and started in a week for Aus? tralia. ^ .. .. " . _ [Prom our Regular Correspondent.] WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 1885. Only four weeks more and a most inter? esting epoch in the administrative histo? ry of the capital, and the country will be introduced. As the time draws on apace, expectation on tip-toe is growing painfully nervous. Who will be the Cabinet? What will be the policy of the Dew administration? How stiff, cruel and searching will the new broom be? What revolutions, political and social, local and general will follow? These are the questions that must soon have an answer more or less definite. Usually the interest in thc National Capital wanes with the adjournment of Congress. This year it will wax all Bummer. Newspaper correspondents will hare to forego their usual summer pic-o ic, and spend the dog-days in Washington. Fortunately there will be a plentiful supply of ice water and such things, and the city has grown to be a not unpleasant summer resort. Daring the last four months there has been a powerful undercurrent of political coat-turning going on in tbe Government offices here, and I am told that in some offices maoy supposed Re? publicans have made the surprising dis? covery that they have always been con? sistent Democrats, awiting io darkness, butin hope, for the sun-burst of thc Fourth of March, 1885. The unselfish fortitude with which these poor priso? ners have endured a quarter of a cen? tury of Republican despotism and re? pression, toiling through the adminis? tration of Grant, blushing at the scao ialous usurpation of Hayes, and sorrow? ing over the election of Garfield, paying money and making speeches for their sroel captors, is really pathetic. There has been a remarkable subsidence of Republican brag, falsehood and abuse )f Democrats in the Departments. If it were not a serious and universal con? tagion, the Republican clerks who look it each other across their desks would , explode with laughter at the silent, taint-like disuse of the slanders and lies about the "disloyal Democrats" and ;heir obscene candidate, which only four mouths ago was the staple of the pork of the Omi Service of the .party >f *'moral ideas. " Washington society, which is mainly )fficial, and therefore Republican, has nade a desperate effort to smile at grief, mt the smile. was brief and "sicklied >ver with the pall cast of thought." The gay revelers have seen the Fourth j >f March at the bottom of every oyster (tew, and the' Democratic broom has )eeu the Damocles sword at every feast. The chicken salad serred only to remind hem of the Democratic rooster. Tbe social season has not been brilliant Or cheerful, and it is u?m closing much earlier .than usual. There will be a }rief revival of social festivities about :be Fourth of March, and then a score if society queens will abdicate forever. The preparation for the inaugural procession, illumination and ball is go? ing on. It is on a generous plan and it will be expensive, but there is DO lo ubt of its success. The vast en clo? ture of the Pension building now sur? rounded by naked walls without .floor or .oof, will soon be io readiness for the' festival, and it will be the largest and nost imposing ball ever before used for IO inaugural bail. The citizens of the capital are contri? buting to th? inauguration fund liber illy, and there is assurance that ample )rovision will be made for all expendi? eres. >. The cost of fitting bp and decorating be Pension' building will be much greater than attended the arrangements or the Garfield ball four years ago, but he interest taken this year is greater han it was four years ago, in fact great? er than ever before. An immense num? ber of visitors will be in the city, and nany of them will see the capital of heir country for the first time. It begins to look as if the last-Re >ablican President intended to devote be few remaining days of Republican nisrule to fixing his friends in co m for t ible position* to which be has little nore right than to the furniture of the ?Viii te House, the country having de? clared in favor of a new man; and, as a lequence, new men. Mr. Arthur's ap )ointment of Carpenter to be Governor >f Montana Territory, and of Davis to )e Judge of the Court of Claims is now b?owed by that of Andrew Draper as Fudge of the Court of Commissioners )f Alabama claims. Mr. Draper has io qualification for the office. He is ?imply a warm personal friend of the President, and the appointment is of he class, and from the motive that dis? graced the Grant era. What Siemens Did. In a paper giving an account of the British association of 1882, of which Dr. Siemens was president, Prof. Emil du Bois-Roymond referred, with some expressions of admiration, to the many ways In whioh the name of Siemens is Identified with the most important of the recent advances in technical scienoe. What Krupp ls among Gorman indus? trials in warlike arts, he said, the col 'ective name of Siemens is in the arts ! peace. Siemens telegraph wires gird the .earth, and thc Siemens cable steamer Faraday is continually en? gaged in laying new ones. By the Siemens method has been solved the problem, by the side of which that of finding a needle in a haystack is one of childish simplicity, of fishing out in the stormy ocean, irom a depth comparable to that of the vale of Chamouni, th| ends of a broken cable. Electrical re? sistance is measured by the Siemens mercury unit. "Siemens" is written on water-meters, and Russian and Ger? man revenue oflicers are assisted by Siemens apparatus in levying their as? sessments. The Siemens processes for gilding and silvering, and the Siemens anastatic printing mark stages in the development of those branches of in? dustry. Siemens differential regula? tors control the action of thc steam en? gines that forge English arms at Wool? wich, aud that of the chronographs on which the transit of thc stars is markod at Greenwich. The Siemens cast-atosl works and glass-houses, with their re? generative furnaces, are admired by ail artisans. The Siemens electric light shines in assemblv-rooms and public places, and the Siemens gas? light competes with it; while the Sie? mens electroculture in greenhouses bids defiance to our long winter nights. The Siemens electrfc railway is destined to rulo in cities and tunnels. Thc Siemens electric crucible, melting three pounds of platinum in twenty minutes, was a wonder of tho Park ex? position, which might well have been called an exposition of Siemens appa? ratus and productions, so prominent were they there.-Popular Science Monthly. The removal of Prof. Sanborn, of N. H., ifter being pronounced incurable by a score >f physicians, from Las Vegas, N.

PROTOE?CE, ??Ta, Feb. 2, 1885. J/r. Editor: I consider the southern farm? ers of to-daj the most unfortunate class of mea that exist within the confines of civiliza? tion. They have the customs of a rich and prosperous preceding generation entailed upon them without their accumulated wealth of ages j consequently we have been frying to keep up the customs of our fathers without the adequate means to do so. The sooner we recognize^he fact that we are much, very much, poorer aa a whole than our fore-fath? ers, who first established themselves in this country ; whose apparal was composed of home made goods and whose diet consisted simply of milk and mush supplemented with game, which abounded in the then vast wil? derness, the better for us and the conn try. Let os recognize the above facts, and return to their primitive mode ot life ignoring the old adage, ''That fine feathers make a fine bird," Let economy in every department of the farm/and especially in our household and family expenses be the watch word of every farmer. Apply the money we have hitherto expended in luxurious living and for fine and gaudy apparal to the neces? sary expenses of the farm, and we will have less cause lo complain of the country mer? chant who is an advantageous and insepara? ble adjunct to the farmer. Just as soon as we can by economy and thrift demonstrate to the merchant, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that we are able^ to meet our obligations promptly, we wilf be able to get what little credit *we then need, if any, at a nominal interest. Let ns cease blaming the country merchant for our own short comings. How Stands the case with him? Is he resting on a ..sound financial basis ? No, indeed, if reports are true. * If be charged the enormous profit for credit be is accused of doing, and collected all be lets out, he would soon be immensely rich but such is not the case ; he probably does not collect more than seventy-five per cent on the dollar. Economy in every department of the farm will be a long stride towards the higher plane indicated, but will not, of itself, be suf? ficient to place the farmer upon it. We must raise more grain and meat and just as mitch cotton as ever. -Fertilize and fertilize spain. MORE ANON. Lets All Go to Now Orleans.

The Sentinel, of An sonia, says that after he had heard Mrs. Kipberly read "Hiawatha1' he repeated the entire po? em. He lost his temper to the point of profanity just once. A farmer had called to deposit some money. Mr. Arnold counted it and found it $5 short. The farmer persisted and the cashier counted it again, with the same result. "Well, there was that sum when }rou took it" the farmer broke out The cashier stopped, looked his customer square in the eye. and retort? ed: "Do you suppose, sir, that 1 would be such a blanked fool as to steal $5 when 1 could step right back there (pointing to the vault) and steal $100, 000?"" The following is a very singular illus? tration of thc optical delusion which a change of position will sometimes ef? fect. Take a row of ordinary capital letters and figures: SSSSSSXXXXX333333S8S888. They are such as arc made up of two parts of equal shapes. Look carefully at these and you will perceive that tho upper halves of the characters are a very little smaller than the lower halves -so very little that an ordinary eye declares them to be of one size. Now turn the -paper upside dowu, and with? out any careful looking you will seo that thc difference iii s:zo is very much exaggerated; that tito real top half of the letter is very much smaller than the bottom liait lt will b 3 seen from this that there is a tendency in the eye to enlarge the upper half of any object ?non which it looks. It was not very many years since that a young lady, residing less titan a hundred miles from Augusta, brought a breach of promise suit for damages against a quite wealthy gentleman, who had been wooing her. She ;ecov ered $5,000. This became the founda? tion of a large fortune. The lady had two brothers in ordinary circumstances who were .employed by the day li ko thousands of other workmen.
