She would: have seen Sarah^Miller, whom she believed to be in England, standing on the opposite side- .of titans treet, utter despair and anguish, written in every lineament, gazing at her mistress' window like one bidding- the object, the dearest on earth, an ?terna! farewell-eternal because even the consoling hope of a meeting- in some future state is absent. But Beatrice, who, in the earlier wntcbes of the night, bad beenawake forhours,wish her sorrow^ slept on until the sun-WArlngh. Perhaps it was weil for her a?edid so. The ? poor - self-appointed instrument for working tho divine will had, after she left the scene of her dark work, wandered about the outskirts of Munich, aimlessly and hope? lessly. Had. ifc been broad daylight, and had there been persons to see- her, an occa? sional stilled moan and a wringing of tb.3 hands would have been ell that, showed the agony cf mind she endured.

She could look forward, plan, and even carry ont. And the anguish which racked her mind was the home-coming of the truth, that ber act must part har and her mis? tress for ever. Here wa3 the crowning sacrifice. Hare-was, perhaps, the earthly punishment. Never again - to gaze into that dear face;' never again to hear that loved voice; never again tobe near her to minister to her wants, to aid her, scheme for har, ?ni, if needs bei stn for her.

Ah. no earthly power could have undone itv _ So when at last the morning broke gray, - and trees and other objects loomed phantom dike and- uni"eal--throagh the-^ mist, Sarah "Maller" planned1' and schemed; seeking the way. to insure what she had so dearly bought. All har thoughts reached one end. She must fry far, iar from the spot. Bea? trice must never hear of her again; never know that she left London. If her prox? imity to the dead man became known the truth might be guessed and all be lost. "Set "be??raL%she went she must see : the house in which'her darling lived. She must stoop and kiss the doorstep on which those djpved feet-had trodden. She must weft- her one passionate and unheeded.fare-weil, then leave th?'p?soe and be as one dead She struggled against the desire, but it overcame her/ With' the first streaks of daylight she catered the si oeping city, and, utte^ worn out, stood: Before her mistress' window, and for a while watched it ss ona might watch the last fading ray of a sun which has..sunk .never - again to.'rise, and lighten the darkness which shall be eternal. _ At? that carry hour of -the:morning the: street was s?ont and deserted. There "was noone to notice the strange looking creature who" stood and,, with wild despair, in her eyes, for eyer gazed on one spot. Her lock for tho time was such that no one, not even the one most preoccupied with bis own con? cerns, could have passed her without feel? ing his curiosity raised as to why she was lingering there, and what gave her that ap? pearance cf dire distress. After seme minutes spent in this manner the woman crossed the road. Her limbs dragged after ber and made her exhausted state apparent. She lean* her head against the door of the house which held her mis? tress and sobbed convulsively A dizzy feel? ing cams over her, and she felt that she wa3 / A dizzy feeling cams over ker. apon the point of fainting and falling sense? less on the doorstep. By a supreme ef?ot?i she roused herself and shook off the incipient stupor. If once she sank down ber weary limbs might rebel and refuse to do her bid? ding. She might lie there until her presence was discovered, and that discovery ruined alb No, if she ware to sink and perhaps die, let it be as far away from Beatrice as her waning streng th c:>uld carry her. Sweet : it yocld be to breathe her last within reach of her mistress, even such poor cornrow could not be vouchsafe! to her. It speaks volumes for the iron strength ot her wiB, insomuch that It stru^gied with and overcame, not only the woman's physi ral fatigue, but also the craviu?; for ove glimpse of Beatrice which chainel ber co the spot. She tore herself away, and with? out once looking back forced her tired limbs to bear her to a considerable distance. Here she found a quiet doorstep on which she sat unmolested, sat and fought against ber ex? haustion, until such time as she would be able to procure food. It was not Ion? before* slowly, little by Little, unit by unit, the city began tc awake. Here and there the shutters went down from a shop, and at last the weary woman saw .all but facing her a baker's window. She antared the shop, bought some. bread and begged a glass of water. Not for her own ???i-? saks, bue. for rae sa?e of, auotaer, sae w called upon to eat and drink. .

Save for such inquiries as the exigenc of the journey forced her to make, and su( -speech as was necessary-to procure the foe and drink which" nature absolutely denian ed, the woman spoke no word curing tb long journey back.

Sarah Miller steppe from the train, and once more stood on th platform which she had quitted rather mor than three days before., lt was now past, o'clock in tho morning; .Whither shoui sBeturn. She ' stood hesitating and ba wi] cered. There was one thing more which she ha ; settled, to do. What was it?

This done, shs believed there wo . nothing - left which could in any way shov who she was cr when ct- she came. - She passed out nuder the archway, a soli tary, dark redbed figure with a head bant a in grief. She passed from thogostiy white glare of electric lamps into the all but de s?rted'Strand. ' She walked somo'way nj the Strand, then, without any definite aim, turned to tba right and by and by f jund herself on the embankment Still she wandered on until she reached Waterloo bridge; .She-went half way across it, then stopped" short: and gaza! ovar the parapet into the -river. But no thought o? self-destructioa hod entered into her head, although the red light was still before ber eyes, tho wild, rush s??H'sounding inlher ears, and those fearful iron wheals in har brain circling more rapidly than ever. Ko. the river had tnt for her the attraction which a smooth, calm, .peaceful stream has for ali who are in deep "distress. ' So she looked and looked; even craned over the parapet to peer into its somber, placid depths. At that moment a blinding light flashxl upon her eyes and a hand grasped ber Ehoul^er. "How none of that nonsense," said a sharp voice-the voice of a policeman who had seen her dark form against the stonework of the bridge. The woman turned her face to his, and the anguish written upon it persuaded the "constable that hehad arrived just in the nick of time. uBiver air's bad at night for suchas you," ho said in a kinder voice. "2? ow you go straigh t home like a good woman. PU see you safe off the bridge. You can go from which end you like, but if you stay here any longer, well I must run you in." She clasr*-! her hands. "I am mad?' she t cried in piteous, imploring tones. "Can't you sae I am mad? Toke me and put me where mad people arc sent ta" Strange as a confession of insanity seamed, tba puzzled policeman was bound to take har at her word, the more so because sha would not or could not give any account of herself, or name any place of residence. So sha was led away a docile carJtive, and spent the rest of the night, or rather morning, under detention. Mad or ,nct, she believed her work was ' now done; believed that she wouid be be? stowed where her mistress would never find her, never hear of her. Mad dr not, her one concentrated aim was to keep tho secret of the way in which Maurice Hervey died. If mad, the poor "wretch's cunning had all but supplied the place of reason. All but; for as usual it had forgotten ona important thing. Unless Beatrice was in forrnxl of - her husband's death, unle?s that deach were proved beyond a doubt, Sarah Miller's crime would be useless and her S?.O? rifice futile. CHAPTER XXXIV. IT VTAS NO DREAM. Carruthers, as was his custom, called foi Sfeetriee early ene morning- Kow that ha had firmly resolved that he must, would, could, should school himsel? to accept thc position which rc saemed likely was to ba his for the future, he could see no reason why he should be debarred from enjoying every moment of Beatrice's society. To say that he was resigned to his fate would be absurd. Ko one is resigned to fate. One is compelled to submit to it's-tyranny, that is alL Of course Frank was unhappy, and of course Beatrice was unhappy. At heart they were as wretched as any sentimental school girl could wish them to be amid such circumstance?. But all the same they were not so truly miserable as they imagined. Given two young lovers kept apart ly fate -with a lookout of eternal darkness-with? out even thc hope of seeing hope glimmer in the distance, so long ns they know that each loves the other, even as fcc or she loves her or him; so long as they can see each other, talk to each other, even if that talk must be on indifferent subject?, they can not ba alto? gether unhappy. This morning Beatrice left her boy in charge of the smiling Bavarian servant and went for a walk with Frank. It was a fair May morning, fairer perhaps elsewhere than in Muni eh, which is a dry, du^ty, barren land. For some time they walked m silence, and apparently without any settled destination. By and by Carruthers spoke. "When do you think you will be ready to return to England?" he asted. Her eyes were cast down. She did not answer his question. ! "Beatrice, you will take .my advice in j this f ' he spoke gravely and tenderly. _ . ** Yes, I ?will take your advice. I will do all you wish-be guided entirely by you. Heaven knows I have guided myself long ..anough. See where it bas led me." Her eyes filled with tears as she spoke. Frank clenched his hands behind his back. " What do you propose? "What do yon think I should do?'she asked. "I think we should go straight back to England; straight to Oakbury. I will come with yon, and if you_jvish it, tell Horace and Herbert every thing. " "What will they say? What will they do? I should think they would at once tura me out of their house." Frank smiled *v sad little snrile. "Dear Beatrice," he said, "can you fancy either Horace or Herbert turning out a dog who came to them for protection? That is," he added, 1 'if the dog had not boen in the mud." *'JLh, Frank, but I have been in the mud," said Beatrice sadly. "I have years of mud Upen mo. Itrwill never come off; Frank." ... Frank, as a man should, tried to console . her, tried to persuade her that the mud was af ter all neither so very black nor so very -?hick.; Sheshpok ber-head. . . "Ahl" said Beatrice,, ?'it all comes back . to the,old:cry---'If..what has been done could only be undone P " " "Yes," said Frank, "the cry of the first man who developed speech; his thought perhaps before speech came tr him; and so it will be the cry of the last man who stands on the wreck ef the world? There was silence once more until Frank broke it by repeating his^ original question. Beatrice told him she\could not leave Munich until Sarah returned. "But she is in London. %Why net tele? graph to her? Tell her to '?ait there." " <4I would, but I do not know where tc find her. She was going to her friends. The friend who posted my letters^ Sarah Used to send them, but I never thought of ashing the address." "And she is making terms with this man,'.' said Frank rather bitterly, "is empowered to let this ruffian rob you." * "Money is nothing. He can have all hs wants if he will trouble mo no mere." Carruthers bit bis lips. , He cared little for money as money, but it enraged him to* think of this villain living in luxury at the expense of the woman he had so wronged. However, he believed that when it came to the Talberis having a voice in the- matter, Hervey, woul l find liimself not so well off as he anticipated. "Frank," said Beatrice, "I will leave with, ycfc as soon as she returns, I promise. Now let us talk of something else. We may have but a day or two longer here. Let me have those days to look bick upon-days of calm befor^thestorm bre?is." ^^?^T^or^SS*^^^^ her. He forced himself to tali to her^la-^niething like his old style. The mirth, if itc3cJ? even be called mirth, was hollow. The flnitation ran falsely. But Beatrice, was grat^??i*if only to have hertheught? turned from tfe* one current. "No cn? can fully realize what a noble thing it is to be English," said Frank, ''until he has returned to London after a tour in Germany. It ?5 a gratifying thing when you enter your hotel and- for the first time comprehend tho true mission of the great Teutonic race." "What mission?" "To find," continued Frank; ?that this great nation was created apparently for the purpose of supplying waiters to the English speaking races, lc is a great patriotic truth which bas consoled ms for many in? conveniences I have suffered from its ap? plication." Then he told her about the strange people athis hotel in Munich. About the smart American giris who would call Paris "Parrus." About ali the other familiar table d'hote characters. "It amuses me most," he said, "to talk to the porteurs and waiters about the king. Every one has some fresh taie about his eccentricities. You know hs turns night in ?o dav. Starts off driving at 1 in the morning!" Ye?, Beatrice had of course heard that. . "Flcat3 about on a lake, on top of the palace, and fancies himself Lohengrin. Hides away from everyone-do you know whyf "An unhappy love affair years ago," said Beatrice. ''That may have bern the origin cf the tomfoolery," said Frank. "But the reason he keeps himself hidden now is net roman? tic. He is growing so fat he is ashamed .to' show himself. Fancy a fat LohengrinP "I don't believe it," said Beatrice indig? nantly. ' 'Most ladies look upon Fang Ludwig as possessed of thc beauty of a Greek god." "it's quite ti no. Tiie other night he sent for ono of the singers from the opera. She hail to sit in a punt on the lake and sing to him. Fancy a prima donna in a punt sing? ing to an invisible king. Well, tho punt was small and the lady stout. Just in the middle of a grand cadenza over went the best. What do you think the king did?' "Naturally, pulled her out." "Not a bit of it. He rang a bell and walked away, leaving the poor thing to splash. Makes one feol a republican to bear such thing.-." So Frank talked, but all his fooling was forced. They bad been walking about aim? lessly, and scarcely noticing where. "Shall we go anywhere-to one of the galleries?" asked Beatrice. "No," said Frank.. "Ifs too fine for pic? tures. Lot us go and look at the statue of Bavaria." The'statue being a long way off, they took one of those delightful littlo fiacres, hired, including a coachman with a broad silver band round bis bat, for some? thing like sixpence the half hour. One, al? most the only ene, relic of bygone cheap Irving in Munich. They inspected the colossal statue, tut ma not yield to the temptation of going up into its bead via thc leg. They wa; ked through tho Hall of Fame at the ba#k of the statue. But sight-seeing did them no more good than Frank's forced gayety. They were both sad at heart. "Where shall we go now?' asked Frank as they came back to the fiacre. "Is there anything else to see about here Ho couched this question in curious German, and ad? dressed the driver. The driver said the great south cemetery was not far off. "I don't iike cemeteries," said Frank doubtfully. "I do," said Beatrice. So they drove ac? cording to her wish. They passed under the great arched en? trance to the place of tombs. Beatrice, who was now deep in sad thoughts, looked neither to the right nor left-and Frank was lco>ing only at Beatrice. They walked straight into tho great open space, and for awhile, with tho bright May sun shining down 071 them, wandered about tho forest cf tomi's, which, after the manner of all continental memorial stones, looked untidy from the withered cr tawdry ivrc-aths which had been placed on them last AH Souls' Day, and left to decay at case. Carruthers was somewhat disappointed in the cemetery. Although t!>is was his first visit to Munich, he fancied he had road or heard that this cemetery was one of the finest in Europe. He told Beatrice he was disappomtccL "Perhaps the finest monuments are under the piazza," she said. They walked across to the broad piazza which nins round the center space. As Beatrice bad suspected, the finest and most costly and artistic monuments were against the wall. Sonic of them were magnificent works of art, but Carruthers paid them s^ant attention. Whether it was tho mel? ancholy surroundings or the strain which at Beatrice's wish Le had put upon himself to keep their conversation away from the j subject ever uppermost in their hearts, he | could not tell, but it seemed to him that at ibis moment Lis forrow was more unen? durable, more abiding than ever. "TbisI"' ho mul?ere?. "To this it all comes. Tho end of love, the end of ambi? tion, of wealth, of poverty; ol pam, ot joy. All como to it, and other men and women Avalk ov^r our graves and wonder who we were. Beatrice! B?atrice !" he cried, in a j voice of exquisite agony, "we c an live but once and our life is wasted !" Bravely as he tad bona himself. Carruth? ers had at last broken down. Beatrice started. These words were the first which had been wrung from him which implied the slightest reproach. It only ?wanted this to complete her misery. She bent her head and the tears ran from her eves. Then sho looked at Frank with a niti- ? fol, appealing gaze which went straight: lo his heart. "I was a fool-a weak fool," he said. "Forgive me." "No, you are wiso. Oh, why was I ever born?" "Let ns go," said Frank. ."I hate this abode of dead mortality." So with heavy hearts they walked along the broad piazza toward the entrance to the cemetery. Somehow their hands met, and they went hand in hand. Neither spoke. Carruthers was telling himself that he was weaker than he thought, that he could not bear the. situation longer. He would see Beatrice safe in England. He would see this man and insure her future peace. Then he would-he must leave her. To see her, hear her voice,, touch her hand, yet know she could not bo his was mora than ho could ask himself to bear. So as they walked down that piazza they felt that they were bidding each other a farewell which might well be eternal. Nb wonder the?u* hands refuged to part. As they drew near to the entrance they passed what was to all appearance a shop with a plate glass front opening on the piaz? za. In front of it were two or three men and women ,and several children; the last named on tip-toe, and flattening their flat Teutonic noses against the glass. Frank also glanced that way and saw such a curious sight that, in spite of his preoccupation, he stopped. A little way inside the glass was arranged on banks of evergreens and flowers what seemed to be a dozen dolls, of various sizes, but all large for dolls. Each was dressed in smart long robes with tinsel and other deco? rations, and each doll bore a large number. A curious sight! Carruthers drew near and then the truth flashed upon him. They were dead babies ! There, each in its little nest of leaves aid flowers, they lay awaiting the day of burial. <tThey are dead!" said Frank, iurniBg to Beatrice. 'Yes. I remember bearing it was the custom here to let them wait like this; but I forgot all about it. A horrible custom, is it not?" Is it a. horrible custom? If startling to strangers, is it more horrible than the Eng* lish custom cf letting the poor dead thing lie for days in an upper chamber, lie there often until the last sight one carries away cf the loved one is a sigixt to be forgotten? Who has not known those fearful days which precede an English funeral? The fearful, room with its bcxed-up odor of death striving with those ot " sweet scented flowers, eau de Cologne and carbolic acid. It may seem harsh to bear away the poor, dead clay at once, but not so harsh as the custom which jeopards health for the sake of sentiment. I Is it a horrible custom to think o> a loved one exposed to thc eyes of the public? Hor? rible at first sight +c w**ch women bring? ing children and lifting them up tojsee what gaze more than the living? Why should the living be taught that the-sight of death is so to be dreaded? But if the sight is horrible to a stranger it is fascinating:. Notica all who visit the Munich cemetery for the first time. If they peep in at one w>:dow of the wartsaal they will peep in at ah.. Beatrice and Frank formed no exception to this rule. There are several of these windows. Li the one next the babies they saw the body of ail o?d. priest. lie lay on his slanting bier of evergreens, dressed in his best clothes, his coid hands holding the crucifix to los cold heart. Ke slept with peace written on his sweet waxen face. Was this horrible? And so to the end. With reverent eyes Frank and Beatrice ?aw them ah, the poor, dead 'things, lying on their green biers" awaiting interment, lying there with a' wire fastened to the hand so that if life was by any chance to return, whether" by night or by day, a bell must ring and bring aid. liut they never ring for aid, these poor dead things! " Frank and Beatrice turned away. It seemed, .to Frank, at least, that the spec? tacle they had seen was a lit tmg ending to their excursion. They walked away slowly and in silence. But they bad not seen ali in a room at the very entrance, so that comers and goers might the more readily notice it, lay the body of a man. Not cn fragrant boughs, but on a plain slate bier, for there was no one to authorize the ex? penditure necessary to give it a bed of ever? greens. A black cloth was thrown across tae b?t?y and the white face was turn**! toward the window. "And Frank saw that white face and knew it-and Beatrice saw that white face and knew. Sao grasped Frank's arni, strove to speak, gave a sharp cry and fell senseless on tho stones. Carruthers hf ted her and bore her to tho fiacre? He bade the man drive home at once. Beatrice revived.: She looked at Frank fa a dazed way. "I dreamed-it was a dreamt" she sail ina whisoor. Beatrice saw thai white face and knew; 'it was no dream," answered Carruthers in a hoarse, choked voice. Not another wo: d was exchange! until they reached Beatrice's home. Herc Frank wancei to accompany her to her rooms. She snook her head. "Go back, go back," sue whispered. "You will see to all, learn everything, wdiyou not?" He nodded, re-entered the carnage and drove back to the cemetery. Tue blood ran fiercely through his veins. This man, the man who stood between him and happiness, dead* It could nos be! Such things as this never happen in leal life. S? me chance re? semblance must have misled bini and Bea? trice. Will Carruthers; who had never yet wished a fellow: creature dead, be blamed because he trembled at the thought? There was no mistake. He gamed access to the room. He saw ihe body uncovered, saw the ding which Lad be 2 a rom ...ved from th? broken arm. And as he stood .*;n :! gazed at the dead man ho seemed tb hear the voice of thc strange servant bergins him in wild accents to wait for Beatrice. Her p: opaecy had come true; her curious had not deceived hor. Ko looked lone: on the white, face. Pitv, except the pity ono foals for violent death, did not move his heart; But. nevertheless, the man lying there had once deon loved bjr Beatrice; mrrhr, had he so wifed, beloved by her even now. Kow strange it all seemed ! At last he turned awfcy. He had to answer many qpiestions; see suudry officials. He said ho vi entice i the man as ons Maurice Hervey, nt? artist.

WJmt Our Editors Say. Our Public Eo?ds. Southern Star. Experience bas taught the nations of all civilized ages that'no law cac be en-, forced except by the will of the people ; indeed we may say that this has been the experience of the darker ages as well, for in no instance in the history of the world does it appear that the peo? ple resisted the.enforcement of,any law without being ultimately triumphant. Some times authority and power would be wielded with a relentless hand and the country would be drenched with the blood of the slain, but eventually the will of the people would triumph;, , So it is with the road laws .of Sooth Carolina. The people, are opposed, almost as a whole, to their enforcement and even if the officers charged with the duty of .enforcing them were to ex? ert themselves to, the utmost they would find their efforts so hedged and hamp? ered by the people th?t it would be ut? terly of no avail. When the road hands are summoned out for the performance of publie duty there are a great many who regard it a duty paramount to all others to do as little work as possible, and deeply sympathize with each other when the consequences of the law are threatened. This class of individuals are.not confined to any. particular class or section. You will find their creed represented on every public road in South Carolina, and as a general thing the law is powerless to reach them. If they are indicted, no matter how strong the evidence, the law furnishes loop? holes for escape from the punishment it intends to inflict. Wbv the road laws are so unpopular it is difficult to-tell; Whether it is dae to the fact that the system is wrong, the authorities careless in the discharge of their duty, or the law. defective we know not; but we do know that there is great room for improvement some? where. What is to be done? bas be? come a vital question, and our legisla? tors must find ont. That a change is necessary cannot be doubted, but what kind of a change would meet thc neces? sities of the case. More About tlie ISTew Heal. : mm^^^m^a^ColumfJia Record. Som^Sr^^s^fa^rs io {?i?s State have buldly asserted t?N^^^?-*^ vocated and favor a new dfll IC tDe P?'~ itics of. South Carolina art^fcWJMloi iU? ' ' to further some selfish end. Were we so disposed, we might in retaliation say that those who oppose a new deal are either directly or indirectly the recip? ients of State patronage and are conse? quently afraid of losing their mess of pottage. We, however, make no such charge and are quite willing to^aceor? to those who differ from ^u-3' a right to td^cjjt^ij?n^on^ N.eitbfcr do we make any charge against those ia office who, with a few exceptions, have served the State faithfully and well. We favor a new deal on general American princi? ples. We are simply actuated by the spirit of J^merican liberty, which is thorougb*->y antagonistic to third-term candidates. We also believe that a ma? jority of thc present incumbents are of our way of thiuking and will not at the next election allow their names to be used for the position they now hold. - We have no doubt that the present in- : cumbents could maintain their capabili? ty and honesty daring another and many more terms, but the precedent would be bad. We deny the right of any man or set of men to hold elective offices indefinitely. It may be argued that if the people continue to elect them why complain ? The people do not continue to elect them. There is such a thing as politioal machinery. In* this particular we might repeat to thc uni? nitiated voter the words of Hamlet: **There are more things in beaven and earth,Horatio,than are drempt of in your philosophy." Men who are nominated in conventions are not always the choice of the people, and those installed in high office do not always receive a ma? jority of the votes. It is certain that a new deal in poli? tics can do iso harm ; it may do much good. It will give no offense to worthy officials, who know how to appreciate the honors bestowed upon them ;, if it prove a thorn in the side of chronic of? fice-seekers, so much the better ; for it is they who must be taught that public offices are not private property. The Watcree Messenger. Office-holding in a government like ours is not a monopoly nor an inheri? tance, and unless there is peculiar tal? ent or very great adaptability, there should be rotation. ,Now and then a man cornes to the front who combioes so much of the necessary qualifications for office that by common consent he is elected and re-elected as often as he de? sires. This was the case formerly in this State, where men like Calhoun or McDaffio and a few others were facile princeps, so adapted to Senatorial or Congressional careers that no one date oppose them. But ive hace 7io such men in public life note and the'avcragc J State Or Congressional official after he has served a reasonable time h:?s no right to absorb office to the exclusion of all others. It is this feeling, as we understand it, which is abroad in thc State. It is not a spirit of demagogism or of the rule and ruin order, bat it is one boru of fairness and a generous dis position to give others a showing. And while oar people arc eminently conser? vative they are likewise eminently just. We do uot imagine that those who de? mand a new deal obiect to transferring an able and efficient official to a higher position, or dc tu and a clean sweep, for there are exceptions to all rules, but wc suppose they -i^i'-o change, where the j incumbe nt has had a reasonable tenn of office, and lhere are others who have done as much for the Slate and would fill the place equally as well. Abbeville Medium. "A change." The people wrrnt a change, and "don't you forget it."

We know very little of law or the rules of practice, bat a fcrief observa? tion of the methods used ia some of oar courts'is enough to convince any ob? seder that if there is any law for the protection of witnesses it is not enforc-. ed.

The above protest against the abase of gentlemen while on the witness stand, is a very proper one. Similar abases are at times to be observed in other of oar Courts besides the United States Court. Honorable lawyers, it seems, to as, should respect the rights and feel? ings of gentlemen. Self-respect on the part of the legal fraternity- should se? cure these tb every one, voluntarily ac? corded. To endeavor to injure a-man's reputation needlessly under such cir? cumstances, cannot, add to a lawyer's reputation for fairness or uprightness. A Heavy Failure. Torkvitle Enquirer. On Saturday last articles were re? corded in the office of the Clerk of the Court whereby J. M. Ivy & Co., of Rock Hill, make an assignment. Thc firm in fact is composed of Mr. Ivy alone, the other member being a sala? ried partner, which arrangement was adopied merely tb facilitate the transac? tion of business. The liabilities of the firm, as per schedule, amount to ?237, 135.77. The schedule of assets amount, in personal property, to ?80,600,. in? cluding three-fourths interest in the mercantile business of Ivy & Fe well. Besides the assets consisting of personal property there are several tracts of val ble land in York, Lancaster and Sumter counties, nearly all of which are under mortgage to Williams, Black & Co., of New York, who hold the bulk of the claims, amounting to about ?195,000. Mr. Francis W. Williams, ot' that firm, is named as the assignee. Wc record this suspension with re? gret. Col. Ivy has long been promi? nent as one of the most enterprising cit? izens in Upper Carolina, and we feel sure had he retained his health these misfortunes would never have overtaken him. In this calamity, while he is prostrated on a bcd of sickness, he has the sympathy of the entire people, and the hope is entertained by many that if his life is spared he will yet overcome the difficulties surrounding him. His home indebtedness is comparatively small, and thc assignment will affect no other business houses in Rock Hill, while, as we learn, the house of Ivy & Fowell will continue as heretofore.
