The streets of the little village arc alive with the people commonly shut up in tho great mills out of sight It was only ono man dead, the world in which he moved crowded along, and if lie had come back even so soon, he would have had to make a plaeo for himself; os when he started first. Another man was born the minuto he died, mid the ranks were always kept full. There was a holiday at last, and the i>eopIe were the nearest they could get to holiday dress. Tl?1 husbands and fathers had but few changes to make. Their aprons, if they were fortunate enough to have them, were off, and their overalls; their sleeves were rolled down, too. revealing thc wear bf storm and sun on the cheat? stulT of which the clothes of the poor aro made. But the young men had. most of them, sonic flashy color about their neds, and won- some threadbare i black coat, with here and there a whole showy suit, bought regardless of the poverty that stared them in the face. The higher classes had taught them tho lesson that a poor man can expect no consideration or res] ?oct anywhere, and each human creature, whose spirit is not all broken, will save his scant pennies to disguise in thc livery of thc prosperous the poverty that the world mal?es at once his misfortune and his disgrace. Most of the girls, too, had gilt or rubber jew? elry in abundance, rich looking chains about their necks, and the most elaborate and massive earrings. They wore flashing rib? bons of tho most startling colors, and for dresses cheap flimsy imitations of the most costly stuffs. All had gathered near tho Breton mansion. The door was hung '..-iib black crape hi vol? uminous folds. A melancholy hearse, with plumes waving the insignia of woe, was at j the gate. But the faces of the multitude wore happy, even gay. and the murmur of j their voices had no cadence of sadness. Yet for one moment they were <'ui.-t. It was when eight bareheaded men, with awe in their faces, the awe of mortal*.in the pres? ence of the grand myst-, ry bf death, carno slowly out of the crape hung dcor fearing ! betw-een them the deposed lord of the house, j Then appeared at the door the face of tho j heir; young Philip, pal? and grief st riek?-r?, j and an involuntary hum of greeting met hun j from the people who lined the roadside and hustled the carriages i:i waiting. Bc was j their hop-', their trusted deliverer, their friend who liad Seen how hurd their lives were, and had once promise?! to help them. His words that night"! the fire had sunk deep into their hearts and l?een re? peated from mouth tv mouth, with many an addition of un eager imagination. To be sure, he had done out little to fulfill his promise. But there were the ?ire escupiis tb j l<-ar witness to his honesty, and his rather, 1 th" one they w-ereexpecte-l to iiiourn for, was ' a hard man to move. Had th-.- young man : not admitted in their meeting he was too '? weak to heir; them"? Now he was un train- j Ui'.-ied; thc unquestioned owner of the Brctjou Mills: his wish '.var, thc s*>!e authority her.cts- ! forth, and he wishe hel? . I them. Not & soul but Mic-ved ia;the (laira I of a vague day of general halpin--.-. Few had clear ideas cf il:-- clements ot th-.ir long wretchedness.

Np more I ?ng hours, ue more scant pay. no more favoritism'; all should have ?ilik'\ No more strikes or co-a flicts or complaints br bittern-*ss were dreamed of, Cir there would bo no hardships left. Philip thought of Bertha. At first is seemed a year since ho had lost lier, and he wondered wit)', a heart. It was her place, tliat empty s-at by Iiis si??e, ?J this supremo moment of hi> il?-solarion. She could eom fort him in his hmeiini-ss, the most terrible crushing loUel ?ness, that in the midst of ? multitude P" .ri ia ps he was weak, too weak for '\;>- stern r*:<:u:sit;ons of destiny.

Tho bouse was full of solemn faced guests, but he would see none of them. He had bowed Iiis bead on his fol-led anas and tried to com? mune with the dead; Ids dead. There were two. One Ids kind, tender father, whe-sa broad, florid face always brightened with a smile at the coining of Iiis son. The other of his dead was a woman. I Io saw her .-xs if she yet lived. What there was in th's woman of all others that should have cabed forth ?ich tender raptures cf love he had never paused to wonder. She was not brilliant as some women. Her lips, that he believed could have spoken so wonderfully if they had cared, were oftenest closed in society. Her eyes expressed to him the rarest of noble thoughts, and it ,was as if she deemed tho common world unworthy, but that by and by she would speak. He had thought her heart spotless white, and the texture of h>-r nat uro finer and sweeter than that of all other women. Every eye that saw her must ad? mire the threads of line spun gold she called her hair, her soft skin as delicate to the touch as u baby's lips, and the queen like perfection of her fenn, a system of bold curves and Hues of beauty meeting into each other at their he gianing and their end. But could there ho any one to whom she was so much beside lier beaury, for whom each phase of her thought or tone of her voice was just what -?cerned most titting: And she too was gone, dead* where no prayers or cries cf his could reach or t^jich her: dead, and yet forever alive for him. "Will yoi: s-'-e a lady, sir:" It was Mary, whose manner was subdued suitably to tue melancholy occasion Ail these trappings and pretenses provoked Philip strangely, a3 did the low v.dces of his guests and theil drawn down faces. He knew well enough they didn't care so much as all that. ".She is very particular, ?ir. Bin-: I mean Mr. Breton." Then he forgot his impatience in n strange, thrilling thought. Ho rose to Ids fee: and walked to Til- window without answering I'HQ girl. Could it be Bertha had felt his hunger for her sueh as no other creature could haye for her presenc:-; Was it too unlikely that such pain as ached in his heart might have t?ucheil her? I throb of electricity goes around the world; might not such longing as his hu'-'-' ri acned hsr a few short miles away! Th-- maid began again.

Terribie Railroad Accident. ? terrible accident happened to the fas? mail train from IVew York to Jack? sonville, last -Saturday uiorD?Dg, at Blacksbear, Ga., on the Aiaotic & Gulf Railroad : the entire train, except the eugine, went through a trestle at a point 75 miles south of Savannah. Twenty-three people are reported to Lave hecn killed and between thirty and ! forty injured, ten of whom are expected to die. The private car of President Wilbur of the Lehigh Valley road with Wilbur and George Gould and wife and others iu it, was part of the train. President Wilbur is reported to be seriously injured, George Gould unhurt and Mrs Gould slightly injured. The relief trains with physicians were sent for from both Savannah and Jackson? ville. The Charleston Sunday Xews con? tained the fullest account of thc acci? dent, and the following is taken there? from : The spot is one mile east of Black shear, Pierce County. Thc road there crosses Hurricane River, and beyond it is a long stretch of trestle work. The train left Savannah at 7.01, standard Ump, this morning; It was composed of an ;ngiae, a combination baggage and smoking car, one passenger coach, two Pullman sleeping cars and a private car of t ric Lehigh Tal ie j Railroad. The engine passed over safely, but the rest of the train broke through and fell fifteen .feet to the ground below. Before reaching the bridge the trains always slow up, and it is s!" osed that the speed at which the train vas run? ning uss too high- The combination coach is repcrt-jd to be the ?rst ene which struck the ground. On it fell the passenger coach, the sleepers and the special car, in which a private party was travo:ling. The scene at the moment after the wreck was heartrending beyond des? cription. The lower coaches were smashed well-nigh to pieces. Fortu? nate were these passengers to whom death came i us! au fly. Kvery coach was Siled, and scarcely a passenger es? caped without some injury. When the wreck was partly cleared away the dis? aster, serious as it was, was tess horri? ble than it was feared: It is supposed that immediately pc fore reaching the Hurricane River coe of the trucks of a passenger coach left the track. Upon reaching the bridge the entire train of five coaches crashed | through going to thc ground. i. AT:K it.

Fartrttrs Friend. Judge Hudson was remarkably lenient ia passing sentence on the wrong doer?. Of the thirteen convicts before him but, one was sentenced to over nine months io the penitentiary. Fairfield Xezcs and IKaald It ha? been suggested by an exchange that the convicts in the penitentiary be employed to work the roads in the State. The suggestion seems to be a j good one. The present plan of calling cut the people to work the roads is very unsatisfactory if one may judge by tho condition of the roads in the State, and if any feasible plau of improving them by convict labor is devised we think it should be adopted. Coiuv&vi Rc'jiiUr Newspaper correspondents give utter? ance to rumors that Congressman Till? man, of this Slate, is hobnobbing with Kundat! and will soon make a remark? able speech, attacking Cleveland and his policy. We trust that this not true. Congressman Tillman would gain noth? ing by attacking the President, and we don't believe he would wish to iutroduce discord. Cleveland is going to be the nominee of the party anyhow, if he is not elected, nobody else can be, and therefore antagonism to him will be sn injury to the party. We have no idea that any good Democrat would do any? thing to defeat the ticket. The Kewspaper. OTangtbuTg Times and Democrat. ltecent events connected' with the perpetration of certain crimes in this State call attention to the value of the newspaper as an educator of the intel? lects aud morals of the people, -and we think it an opportune occasion to voice our sentiments on this subject. The newspaper is probably more widely cir? culated and read than other class of publications and does more tc shape public thought and morals than any other agent, the church alone excepted. Nowhere is this truth more thorough? ly appreciated than in this country, where every denomination, party and interest hods it necessary to have an or? gan for the dissemination of its par? ticular views and advantages. With this knowledge of its power slould come a sense of the grave responsibility devolved upon those who edit and publish newspapers. There is, however, another fact which should not be lest sight of in the consideration of this subject and that is, the newspaper is, as a rule, a private enterprise, for the purpose of making money, and must shape its course so as to win favor and patronage from those whom it would serve. Publishers are, therefore, frequently called upon to consult both their interest and their sense of responsibility when ; determining what is proper and what is improper for publication, and it may be said, right here, to the great credit of newspaper men, that the decision is more frequently made in favor of'the latter than of the former. Unfortunate? ly there are exceptions to this rule. The prurient desire for sensation, breaks down the better judgment and the public is treated to the minute details of social and moral crimes which shock the sensibilities of the pure and virtuous, and are rolled as a sweet morsel under the tongue of the vulgar and wicked. We protest against this pandering to a low and vitiated public taste. We call for a clean newspaper. The exposure of crime and the defence of the injured may be safely left in the hands of the ?aw. (Jar courts have been and are now equal to tue tasi: imposed cn them hythe Constitution, and inourjudg met it iii becomes the newspaper to usurp their functions by hunting down social sinners and pillorying them before the pu ll ic gaze. It is an unmitigated evil, it hinders the course of judgment, and corrupts oublie morals, at tho foun? tain. Hight minded people keow this and will not excuse nor justify thc newspa? per that persistently docs violence to their conceptions of truth, justice, and the proper functions of the press. There ls a demand for all legitimate news, and the ?ra?heriug and publication of this sin ula he the object of the true :?>. .v.0 paper. There is no demand for the histor}' of social intrigues and morai crimes and it is reprehensible in the 'nighest to attempt to create such a demand. Away wiih the newspaper; that has to bc read at thc Hresid: wiih hat'.d breath cr which thc prudent par? ent must either destroy or mutilate be? fore allowing his children to peruse its columns.

'Writing Vp- Towns. Grcer.vilh Keven. The Columbia .Board of Trade never did a wiser thing than when it declined the offer of the New York Star to 'write up' a paga puff of the city for ?500.. The money would have been wasted if it had bec:: spent for that parp?se. The 'writing up'" business is pl ay ed ' cut. Tberi has been too much of it. The public has learned to recognise the ear marks of the paid puff and skips it, preferring to read the home advertise-' ments cf beal interest. If any news-" paper advertising is tc be done fer a town the best plan is to be open and fraok about :t and put what is to be said in the advertising columns of the best newspapers at the regular rates.' This has an henestand business-like ap-" pearance which attracts attention and commands confidence. It represents* somebody, while the paid puff repre? sents nothiog but the readines of the newspapers to sell its news columns and* risk deceiving and betraying ita readers, for so many dellars. In any event, if money is to be paid by Southern towns' fer advertising of that kind in news? papers it had best be put in Southern newspapers cf large circulation and in? fluence. It will do more good there. ??IM fl ll ? ll - A Significant Suggestion. A gentleman in this city has received' a letter from a friend in Tipton, Indi? ana, telling him that if an option on 20,000 or 30,000 acres of land in this neighborhood can be obtained it can be all disposed of in and near Tipton at fair prices. The letter says the drift from that section is now a?l to the South ; that a few years ago ail who sold out to leave went West, but that the tide has turned and the people are looking to the South, scared by the' blizzard and extreme cold reported from" the new states. This letter eon arms the many other circumstances, reports and enquiries re? ceived here, ail indicating that there is' a tremendous tide of immigration set? tling this way and and that those com? munities which advertise their advanta I ges properly and treat strangers fairly 1 in encouragement and prices will'receive [ a magnifient harvest of active, thrifty, progressive farmers and business men from the Zsorth and West.-Greenville Se ivs. Tillman on the Tariff. Congressman Tillman cf this State was interviewed by .a Washington correspondent of the New York Trib? une the other day, about the new tariff bill, and here is what he said : 'The bill says nothing about the re? peal of the tobacco tar nor any modi? fication of the internal revenue laws.'
