Mr. F. G. Jenkins, an old and prominent citizen of this County died at his home in Pro-ideoce township yesterday even? ing, after an illness of two months and a half. He WHS boro Nov. 9th, 1828, and most of his life he has been a successful planter. His remains will be interred this afternoon, at three o'cloik, at Bethel church. Mr. A. A. Solomons died a few min?tes be? fore four o'clock, on Sunday morning, at bis residence in this city. Mr Solomons ha? been ia very indifferent health for some time past, and his family in the hope that he might be -benefit ted by the change, prevailed upon him to visit the Sanitarium, at Danville, N. Y., about two months ago. Mr. Solomons was born in Sumteron the 12th January, ?829, and was therefore only a little over sixty-two \ears old at the time of his nth. He was reared here, and early in life entered the mercantile business. For many j ears before, and since the war, he was in business with his brother the late Mr. J. T. Solomons. Mr. Solomons went i. to bu? siness for himself in 1867, aod for many years his establishment was regarded as the best in Sumter. Failing health compelled bim to re? tire from business io 1890, and since then be bas directed his attention to the settlement of his personal business. Mr. Solomons was in many respects a remarkable man, and among tbe prominent points of his character was that ot indomitable energy ; bis activity and posh were felt in every department of his well ordered and admirably regulated business. It is due Mr. Solomons to say that no one eTer purchased a bill of gooda in his -store and left withont feeling that every article was exactly as it was represented. Those who knew him well, speak of his many kind and gener?os deeds, and the be? nevolence of bis nature. He loved bis home and made it beautiful, not on?y by the ex? penditure of money, but the affection and de? votion, which he possessed in an unusual de? gree for every member of his family. Air. Solomons married Miss Kate Cohen, of Sa? vannah, who predeceased him in 1876. Three daughters and a son survive their union. The funeral services were held at his residence, Monday afternoon, and were largely attended. Afterwards the remains were followed by a long procession of the family and friends of the deceased to their resting place in the cem? etery. All the stores in the city were closed from foar, until five o'clock, the funeral hour, in ?espectto the memory of Mr. Solomons. E. W. G. L. Delegates.

The meeting called for Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock by the Board of School Commis? sioners of the city schools is important. The Board has done the right thing in concluding to lay the matter before the people who placed them io charge of school matters. It is de? sired that the meeting shall be large and thoroughly representative, and inasmuch as it is a subject in which al! our people are direct? ly and immediately concerned, it is hoped that they will turn out. The difficulties will be fully and frankly presented to the meeting, and the Board will, of course abide by its decision. By all means let us have a full meeting and wisely deter? mine what is to be done. Emma Abbott Opera Company. Do not fail to attend the grand, fashionable event of the season at the Academy of Music on Friday night, March 27th, when all of the old time favorites of the Emma Abbott Opera Company will appear in Grand Opera.

The Sanford Girls Orchestra and Art Combination, of Boston, which has been delighting the people of Charleston and other cities latelv, h?s been engaged by Mr. Schwerin to play at the Academy of Music on April 6th, 7th, 8th. This is claimed to be the most wonderful attraction, and the greatest combination of music and art before the public. The following is from the Newt and Courier rf Ma';h 18th : The Sanio... Girls are phenomena in their way, and it's a very good way. Any four young girls-young and pretty-who can entertain an audience for over two hours, unassisted by any meretricious aids, must be phenomenal. To name the instruments upon which they play would be almost as endless a task as the ancient bard undertook in cata? loguing the fleet cf Agamemnon of old. Tbey are not only instrumentalists, however, but they sing and dance Highland flings and such things, and recite descriptive poetry, with violin and banjo obligato, and always look pretty. The Japanese Village, which is part of the show, is also an attractive feature. . One of tbe villagers, a lightuwg artist, assists the girls io the programme only long euough to enable them to change their costumes. The show is altogether unique and entertaining. The Circus is Coming. The first and only big show that will visit Sumter this 3eason will be T K.

DnChaillo, the African ex plorer, discoverer of the gorilla, ?nd autho of the Viking Age and other works, ha? beei in the county for some time ou a visit to thi family of Mr J. C. Scott. While in the city last Friday, he eonsentec to deliver one of his interesting lectures be fore the members of the Sumter institute anr a few friends, who were kindly invited to bi present. At the hour appointed, the larg* commencement hall of the Institute was al ready full, and after a few minutes. Dr. N. \V Edmunds who occupied the rostrum with Mr. DuCbaillu. arose ai;d introduced him. Dr Edmunds alluded to the fact that Mr DuCbaillu was an adopted son of Dr. Leigh? ton Wilson, formerly of this county, aud as such, scarcely nteded an introduction toa Sumter audience. Mr. DuCbaillu had the difficult task ol adapting hisremarfcs to a rather mixed assem? bly-the "middle aged" as well as the young, in which he very successfully ac quitted him? self. He began by telling how he came to go to Africa, and his impressions of that strange country from the time he caught sight of the fringe of the vast forests on the roast of Guinea, until he left it. Perhaps bis visit to the village of the cannibals and the story of bis encounter with the gorilla, the king of the forest, formed the most interesting part of bis lecture. A part of the account given be? low is an extract from a similar lecture made in Philadelphia : When he sought to get recruits to go with him in search of a gorilla (of which they had given him accounts) they declined. But up? on his offering them as a bribe as many beads as each one could carry, three warriors con? sented to accompany him. Then, as usual, wheo they set out to accomplish any unusual feat of .daring, they commenced their super? stitious practices. They gashed their hands and wrists with the points of their knives, holding them over a dish into which the blood fell, with which they rubbed themselves. Th?n they scraped some of the booy dust from the surface of the skulls of the more heroic of their ancestors and mixed it with grass and some other thirgs in the war dish, and after swallowing this mixture affirmed that it would make the:c heroic. In describing the hunt, the speaker seemed to forget bis audi? ence. He was in the forest again and took us ail with him. Ke described the shadows of the enormous forests, with trees 400 feet high, thirty feet in diameterat the base. Some were 300 feet high and ower; some 250 and different sizes beneath them, standing tbinkly together, aud then the thickest of underbrush and tall grass, making tbe almost impenetra? ble jungle. The fallen leaves had formed a mould beneath them macy feet in depth. But amidst this pathlessness, there was a path -the only means of communication between the coast and the remote villages of the in? terior. If any one got out of this trail, even for a few rods they might spend the rest of life trying to find it again. As they left the settled region behind them, the traces o'f animal life became more and more scarce : for it is a singular fact that most birds prefer to live in the neighborhood of man. The vast shadowy forest became silent, even the songs of the birds (some hun? dred varieties which DuCbaillu learned to re? cognize) more beard no mere. Mile after mile he and the three tall cannibals strode one after another hearing no sound louder than their own almost noiseless foot falls. Mile after mile, day after day, the march con? tinued. Everywhere solitude, the gigantic columns of the trees, the overspreading foli? age far above, the seuse of remoteness, of sus? pense, of curiosity. But stout-hearted and unweariable, he enjoyed it all. He dreaded no human foes, for he had none ; the raan eateis were his friends, and would t?ot harm him. Onward they trudged along, the faint path through the interminable vistas. No gorillas as yet. But after several days there was an event. DuCbaillu was walking, a? was his custom, some distance in advance of his companions, ranged in single file, when his ears were sa? luted by a stiange, hitherto unheard sound. It riveted his atteution at once, could it be the noise of some cannibal tribe preparing for combat, or of an elephant disturbed by his approach? He cast himself down and with, ear pressed to the earth, listened breathlessly. Once more the oppressive silence was broken, this time by a sound of snapping timber, loud as a gun shot, and there came crashing to the ground a great branch of a tree-so big tiiat he said lo himself : "Goodness ! these must be giants!" Another bough was pitched down, and it wa3 plain, though he could not see the enemy, the enemy could see him. Then from somewhere aloft there is? sued a prolonged, guttural growl, full of mis cbief, a blood-curdling sound never to be forgotten. Gr-r-r-r-r-r 1 Gr-r-r-r-r-r. He slopped and made the native signal of danger, a peculiar clicking noise of the tongue agaiust the roof of his mouth. He got his rifle iu readiness. The bombardment of boughs had now ceased ; there was absolute silence-save for the thumping of his heart against his ribs. It thumped so loud he was afaid it migfit betray him to the unseen and unknown fee. "Wait a little, Paul I Wait a little he said to himself. You are not ready to fight yet. Peering into the twi? light around and above him, he was sudden ly aware of an object in his immediate neighborhood, a short, hairy, man-like creature, with a black, hideous vis? age, fierce, starring grey eyes under low shaggy brows, an enormous mouth with huge canine teeth. The head set on an euormous chest and paunch, mounted on short, crooked legs and furnished with a pair of arms, long and muscular enough to squeeze a lion to death. This was the being he had come so far to behold ; this was the creature that no white mau had ever seen. This was the gorilla. The brute was near him before he saw it, and now it thumped on its chest and emitted another long drawn, terrific yell, resembling the sound of thunder in the sky. U advanc? ed. Its black lips curled away from its long teeth in a savage snarl. It was not going to wait to be attacked. It was eager for the fray, and advancing, beat its breast with sounds as from a big drum. DuCbaillu was alone. He drew his rifle to his shoulder. Savage though it looked, i? must hare a vital par*. He waited until its hairy body was Jess than twice tbe length of his rifle from the rifle muz? zle. Then he pulled the trigger, aiming for a spot over the heart. It was a spot upon which a good deal depended for the explorer -not to mention the gorilla. The smoke hung in the still air : but he saw that he had succeeded. The animal lifted its long arms and bent forward, uttering groans that were human, but full of brutishness, lt stumbled forward and fell on it3 brutal face and was dead in a few minutes. "For," observed DuChaiiln "eet is lucky, though they are so strong they die easy." Such was the end of his first gorilla. He had killed "thirty-five of them" he said. They were some small like that-holding his hand about 3 feet above the rostrum, "some bigger, but the first one was the biggest."
