Cfc? llUtctom m? $$m? feront WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2. ITEMS. Geo. Melikoff, the famous Kassian officer, is dead. A Chicago telegram reports the fatal burning of two men aod a boy at Cb rb trna 8 festivities. A New York merchant returned from Europe and found his entire business squandered in riotous living by his derk. Gen. Boalanger has decided to contest for the vacant seat in the Department of the Seine. The Pension Bill as passed at the recent session of the Legislature allows thirty dollars a year to each pensioner, payable in April and July. The Bill Appropriating $15,000 for the building of a macadamized road from Florence to the National "Cemetery near that town passed its final read? ing in Congress and has become a law. Oliver Ditsou, the veteran music publisher, who was one of Boston's best known characters, and whose fame is world wide is dead. The Territory of Dakota is nearly as large as alt the New England States, Carolina, New Jersey, lntoBirka4 Legislature of Alabama to prevent the sale of tobacco, especially cigarettes, to boys under eighteen years of age. Congressman John J. Hemphili bas been promised a beautiful Georgia New YearVgift. Early in January he is tc marry Mrs. Jeffries a charming Augus? ta widow. The projectors of the Augusta Expo? sition are said to be thirty or forty thousand dollars behind, in addition to ? the original capital stock invested in improvements. It is proposed to keep the grounds and buildings for future shows. Marblehead, Mass., the great shoe manufacturing town, was almost en? tirely destroyed by fire Christmas night ; thirty-seven buildings were burned, causing a loss of $800,000 ; over one thousand persons are thrown out of em? ployment. The Mint Director states the amount of gold coin and bullion in the United States at $705,818,653, and silver $303,659,178, besides 6,545.554, trade dollars. So there is $402.159,000 more gold than silver, or 132 per cent, more. A negro woman, wife of a negro preacher in Philadelphia, was buried in ? thousand dollar coffin. The total ex? penses were $2.000. Such is the effect of bad examples among the whites She was a Southern slave and had made over $75,000. lother terrible disaster has occurred Mississippi river ; a steamer was Monday night, and of one h un? persons on board only fourteen are to be saved ; twenty-5ve hun? dred bales of cotton were also burned. .According to the election returns,' says the New York Herald, 'the Demo? cratic parw, which retires on the 4th of March next, represents about ninety thousand more American citizens than the Republican party, which enters tbe White- House on that date. As Sam Weller says, that's *wery cums.' A conference between committees from the Southern and Northern Gen? era! Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church, to secure perfect co-operation in view of union, which cannot be effected at present, was held in New York on la:-1 Friday. The discussions will be private, and will not be disclosed until the meeting of the General As? sembly in May next. The will of Mrs, Anna M. Locken, - who died io Philadelphia last week at Mts age of eighty, was recorded Monday. With the exception of a few trinkets, abe left her entire estate, amounting to bte.- nearly $100.000 to Dr. Ashton Talbott, who is tweenty-three years of age, and to whom she had been engaged to be married for over two years. The Supply Bill contains a provision ?Bowing the penitentiary directors to pu rei* ase a farm not to cost exceeding $25,000, the same to be paid for out of She net earniogs of the penitentiary. The Newberry Observer says it is thought the directors will buy the DeSaussure farm in Sumter County, containing 5,500 acres, which *is for sale at $25,000. Tbe Anderson Journal knows now why the State of Iowa is so intensely Republican. Niles G Parker, the in .JjajBjoaa State Treasurer of South Caro -S- lina during tHe Radical days of good stealing, is now the editor of a so-called Democratic paper in Iowa, and was a nominee of the party for Cleveland elector in the late election. Such as that is enough to make Texas go Re? publican. One of thc mest important scientific discoveries lately reported is the dis? covery of the germs of yellow fever by Dr. J. E Reeves, of Chattanooga Heretofore these germs have been searcbod for in vain, and if true that the microbes have been brought to light, it is hoped that it may lead to a better knowledge of the treatment of this dreadful disease and tbe best way to j combat it. Of the death of the notorious Jobo B Hubbard, the Ooonee Couriersaya: Mr John B. Hubbard, wbo was con? nected with the arrest and execution of Mrs. Surratt and others implicated in the assassination of President Liu co! rt, I and afterwards the special detective for Geo. Sickles during the military gov ernment of the State, and who was Chief of the Constabulary force under Gov. Scott's administration, died at his borne, seven miles belo* Seneca ii this county, on Monday eveuiug, 17th in Mr. Hubbard was originally necticut and was related to ard of that State, and ilies, among them silk tnaoufac ri^ndship ging. These are as follows: 1. The bagging can be manufactured of almost any weight per yard. 2 It will not rot or stain cotton. S It can be manu? factured and sold at a less price than jute bagging, even if the jute should be put on the free list. The committee think that with new and improved machinery, the manufacture of pine straw bagging will become one of the most popular industries. The raw material costs nothing beyond gathering it from the ground and transportation to the mills. - \wm ? i mm Rev. Irl, R. Hicks on the Weather. The frigid weather following the December storms will scarcely have time to react, before we are again plunged into the active storm period reaching from January the 1st to 7th We calculate that equinoxes of both Venus and Valcan fall on the 2d. con? sequently their combined influences will be felt during this period. This com? bination often results in the widest extremes of phenomena. The same locality may have rain and thunder fol lowed io a few hours by heavy snow and deathly cold ; and these extremes often exist at the same moment in localities near to each o the*. Protect your live stock. The disturbing power of Venus will continue throogjj.^ne nexK?torm period -from the ?th to 18th-rh4s time with the direct combination of Vulcan ^afld Mercury, the latter falling on the 13th and the 14th. The presence of Mercury in the very center of this period is almost certain to bring heavy and destructive sleet. Telegraph lines will suffer. Blizzard regions should be on the lookout. About .the winding up of the storms of this period, the coldest days of the winter are probable-cer? tain. The next regular period will run from the 23d to the 29th. The extreme cold will most likely relax its grip as this period progresses, until culmina? tions of rain and snow appear, after which it will again turn very cold. Upon the whole we calculate that January will prove a bard winter month. There are two new moons in January on the 1st and 30th. Earthquake dis? turbance will most likely occur on "danger days" nearest to these dates. Earthquake warning for December was veri Sed. Ridiculous and Stupid. People who deny that the Sootheru elections are marked, by extensive frauds will do well to study these figures, and explaio how it happens that the Republican vote bas fallen off in every one of the eight Southern States, while the Democratic vote has increased largely in all except South Carolina - N. T. Tri?we. What would happen to the Republi? can vote in New York if that party shoal i abandon its organization for eight years, run no tickets, hold no meetings and put out no "boodle f ' This has been the policy and the con? dition of the Republican party in seve? ral of the Southern States since 1880. The practice of counting every absent voter as a "suppressed Republican" is getting to be ridiculous as well as stupid.-N. 7. World. The cotton tax, unjustly assessed upon the Southern people just after the civil war, one of the many cruelly con? ceived and oppressive measures of re? taliation by the leaders of the Repubii can party, ought to be refunded. Nearly $70,000,000 of this tax have been covered into the Federal Treas? ury under a decision of the Federal Supreme Court. This vast sum of money lies there doing noone any good. Why not return it to the States from whom it was collected in the sums set opposite their names on the rolls of the Treasury. Justice would say that this should be done, especially hince it is generally agreed that it would be im? possible to return it to the original taxpayers. The Supreme Court has said that the tax was unconstitutional and, therefore, wrong and unjust. Wilmington Messenger. The colored man is going out of fash? ion in New York, mach to his disgust, according to a speaker at the Checker? ing Hall meeting last week 'The col? ored coachman and the colored barber/ he said, 'have disappeared from New York ; the Englishman wears the waiter's apron in the hotel dining rooms, the Irishman has seized the whitewash brush, and the almond eyed Mongolian peeps over the washtub where once the darkey's face was seen.' The Colonel, who lives in the South was finding fault with Bill, and of his hands, for neglect of work, and saying that be wouldn't have any more preach? ers about the place-they had too many protracted meetings to atteud. "Bill ain't no preacher," savs Sam. "He's only a 'zorler " Well, what's the difference between a preacher and an exorter ?"
