A Baby.and a Battlesnske, A remarkable occurrence waa reported to this orn?e a few days since. One morning about ten daysago S&8. William Geddings, who lives in Privateer township, about two miles from Bethel Church, took her baby from the crib on account of its persistent fretting, and after a short time returned to place it m the crib. She was horrified to see a large rattle snake coiled up on the blanket jn3t where she had intended placing the baby. She called her little son to bring a stick and giving him the baby to hold, killed the snake. The snake was four feet in length, and had seven rattles, it is impossible tc say whether the snaka was in the crib before the baby was taken up or crawled into it aft?rwards, although it is probable that the snake was iu crib when the baby was taken up by lira. Geddings. - ta rs c'o^e the entrar.ee to the kitchen and to the jvilor? residence. In the kitchen door there ip an opening for the psseage ef food. The door to the main cell room ;s *o!id steel, with a protected observation bole, through which the jailer can inspect the in terior of the room before opening the door. In this room is a steel cage containing eight cells in two tiers, with a passage sir feet wide around it. The 9oor, ceiling und two sides of the cells are of roiid steel plates, .vbiie the remaioing ?ide? are m^de of steel bars. The cells open on a sis foot corridor es.teod:~? through the centre of the cage. The c??'i j doors nre leckei, ?rst with L^avy padlocks, and then by a lever from the outside of tba cage.

The following letter from the New York Herald referring to the offer of his residence for the use of the quarantined pssseriger? of the cholera ships in New York harbor by Mr. Aicslie Davis doe? cot speak too higbly of the nobility of the act. There are no words of praise that would not fail 2at by the side of the simple statement that he had oll'ered his home as a refuge and volunteered his ser vices as a uurse to the choiera infected pas sengers Mr. Davis i? a South Carolinian and Wfl! known in Sumter, hiving married Kiss Moses, daughter of the late Jackson Moses of this* place. To the Editorof the Herald: When the Gov ernor ofgthe State of New York was hamp ered by an injunction issued by a Justice of the Supreme Court of this State, which made it impossible for him to land the sevro hun dred passer-gers of the steamer Xormannia on Fire Island?innocent, ? say, because through i no fault of theirs they were in the position they were?and when the lawless clam diggers of the South Bay stuod ready with gun and club to prevent by violence their landing, and when the people of the villages that dot the bay were tacitly and otherwise giving their sanction to the lawlessness of the mob, one man and hie wife on thai shore, thank God, bad (he courage and fortitude to cerne to the rescue of tb3 Executive. The man called in person on the Governor at the Windsor Hotel, and offered to the State of New York the nee of one of the most bean tiful homes on ths Long Island Shore. Hi9 bouse is large, bis grape vines and hot houses are larger. All these, with tbe finest speci mens of tropical fruits probably in tbia sec tion of the country, were offered gratuitously and in the name of humanity to tbe poor, suffering people who were bring tossed in a sea of misery on the Cepbeus. What a contrast was the offer of one who is a man and a gentleman as compared to the actioDS of a miserable lot of land speculators who only jared for themselves and their pros pective profits, and not for the women and children whose lives they were willing to see endangered to satisfy their greed. This gentleman told Governor Fiower that iu order to make the Normannia people com fortable he would chop cut every vine and freit tree in his greco houses and make the living cargo of the Cepheue as comfortable as could be. He did not stop to consider the priceless value of tbe growth he was willing to destroy in the cause of humanity. But this was not all. He and his wife world remain as host and hostess, and as nurses should there be any need of their ser vices as snch. He did cot seek notoriety. On the contrary he did his best to keep his offer quiet, ne hs.s not at this moment the faintest idea that sny sne knows who he is, and he dees not even know the writer. Great deeds of generosity muet by their own force push themselves to the front. We hear every day of acts of charity, of generosity and of bravery, but rarely of an act such a3 this, that combines ail three of these virtues. Therefore all honor and praise to Ainslie S. Davis and his wife, of Massapequa, jL. I., for it is they of whom I write. x. y. z. New York, September 1392. Winthrop Scholarship Case. Office Scpseiktssdext o? Soccatiox, ) Columbia, 8.
