Letter Froai Wedgefield.
WiDGCiuuH February 6* 1894.
Our esteemedycsbg friend, Mr. W. T. Ay
. cock, left bornea few days ago for Columbia
College, New York City, where be enters upon
the study of law. Hr. Ayeock graduated at
the South Carolina University in 1889, and
took the degree of M. A., from Eastman Col?
lege, Poughkeepsie, IF. T., ia 1890, since
which time be bas lived continuously at home
ia ti? office of J: H. Ayeock k Sons. He
is an especially talented yoong mas, and bas
a bright future. May his whole life be as
bright aa yesterday's ann, (the day on
which be commenced the study of his well
chosen, lpns and highly honored profession.)
No yoong man ever stood higher in the com?
munity io which be lived. His morals are all
that even a mother coule wish. They ladies,
married and single, gave him quite a recep?
tion at the depot last' Friday afternoon when
he left..
A surprise party was given at the residence
of Slr. J^Qe Singleton, on last Wednesday,
music a?4pincin^ein^|me spacial orders of
the evening: Tbe%rmerwas particularly en?
joyable, being furnished by different ones on
piano-, violin, flute, guitar and, last bat oot
least, the month organ.
For the first time-that we know of-one of
Tillman's spies visited onr quiet, etralghont
and law-abiding little town. He showed bis
badge inadvertently, and after he did some
of oar people let him know they knew who
be was. The conductor was asked to take
good care of him as the 8.45 p. m. train
moved off. He was only in town for a few
boars, during which time he pretended to be
selling "soap," said to take grease oat of
clothes. Did sot see either the spy or bis
soap, bat suppose it was mostly soft soap.
However, have not heard of a single sale that
be effected.
Capt. W.^S. Wilson formerly of your city
has rented the brick resides ce of Dr. H. J.
McLaarin and moved his family here. Quite
an acquisition to oar neighborhood. Capt.
Wilson is trestle master ou W. C. k A. R. R.
Our merchants, all of them, must behold
. ing their own mighty well. A grocery
drummer said to your correspondent a few
days ago that be did not intend to let ns
starve if our merchants wonld bny from bim,
- for his business here was to sell to all of them.
His regular visits are once a mooth, bat often
be comes also between times.
. j? $
. Onr farmers harajlone an unusually large
amount of*;work for tina time of year. A
visitor herera 'few day s ago from tbe lower
part of the county remarked that the people
ap here seemed ready tor plant. Well, we are
* not ready Jtofplan? out are preparing oar
lauds thoroughly.
Oats are looking unusually fine, and a very
large crop is expected.
Mrs. J. J. Co ayers and little daughter, of
your city, spent several days last week with
her father, Capt. DuPont.
Representative K. I. Manning left last night
for the City by the Sea.
To-morrow being Ash-Wednesday, divine
service will be held at Statesbcrg io the morn?
ing and at Wedgefield in the afternoon by the
Rev. John Kershaw.
Mr. John Troablefield, oldest son of Mr. W
B. Tronblefield, was married on last Thurs?
day, 1st instant, to Miss Carrie Andrews, of
Sumter, Rev. C. C. Brown officiating.
Jimmie Richardson, colored, while at work
in a lamber yard io Charleston, one day last
week, was struck by a piece of falling timber,
which injured bim so seriously as to be fol?
lowed by death in a few bonrs. His body
was brought un on the train last Friday for
burial. *' *
Mr. W. A. James, jr.-, of Bisbopville, came
in on the train this a. m., and was met by
Mr. H. R. Thomas.

Pisgah Items.
' PISGAH, S. C., Feb. 3, 1894.
Mr. Editor: When our Senators and Repre?
sentatives, with the exception of Brawley,
were fighting for silver last fall, it was argued
by those vrbo read through Mr. Cleveland's
spectacles, that as soon as the Sherman law
was repealed, the panic would end, cotton
would go np, confidence wonld be restored
and money would come out into the sun, and
be more sociable in visiting aroond. Some
of as who live so far from the centers of civi?
lization cannot see that these golden promises
are fulfilled. On the contrary there seems to
be a retrograde movement all along the line !
io finances since gold has got to be tbe j
monarch of tbe world. Is not notes, mort- j
gages and bills of sale and cotton to meet ;
them in the fail, tbe curreocy of the day? It
seems so to a countryman's vision, bat then
we fire supposed to be ignorant of such things ;
bat since we have got up to a gold" standard,
cotton baa gone down, money is harder to
get, credit is getting info the ditch, our peo?
ple are fast drifting apart, and Secretary Car?
lisle thinks we can pay a little more interest
by packing on us $50,000,000 or so. Tbe
writer bas talked with men of all religious
faiths and politics, and they cannot see any
hope for the future from this burden of 6oau- !
cia! depression. Some of us hope to see the !
Ocala platform carried out so the people can j
be relieved of the financial borden, but then '
the Ocalites are not Democrats, aud yet Mr. j
Cleveland can keep Gresham in his Cabinet !
and send Wayne McVeah as an ambassador to .
Italy, and keep other noted Republicans in
his employ and keep his political standing.
Whew ! But a truce. |
So the Governor of Florida got whipped at i
his bluffing, "Ben" ought to have been gover
nor over there a while.
Grippe is above par here. As yet no deaths. 1
Mr. William Deas, aged 90 years, died last
Saturday night from a second stroke of p*r- ?
alysia. He was well thought of.
Rev. T. W. Scru<rg3, the Pisgah pastor,
a fine preacher.
We are glad to hear of Rev. B. C. Lampley's
return.
Farm work is going forward as usual. ;
Guano is scarce as yet.
So "Guv" has turned over the fence into
the Tillman camp. We thought he was half '
over the last time we saw bim. Hurrah ! for
Tillmanite "Guv". J. E. D. ?

One of Sumter's merchants created quite a
sensation in our little villa one day last week
by hauling a large bovine ia a hay .rack on a
one-horse wagon with such celerity that tbe
animal could scarcely stand upon his feet.
At first we did not know wbetber he was a
Sheriff er some one making bis escape from a
Sheriff. We have tbe cariosity to know if he
arrived in Sumter safe or not.

THE DIVINE SARAH'S FOOT.
The Artist Sarony Says It Is Perfectly
Formed.
"How beautiful is the human foot
when properly formed-according to
God's own plan and not according fo
the shoemaker's!" the artist Sarony ex?
claimed the other day as he put in a
stroke or two about the feet of a maid?
en he was drawing in charcoal. "You
will remember," he said, "that in all
the great GrTeek and Roman sculptures
the most shapely feet are those hi which
the large toe is represented as being a
little apart from the other four.
"Daring Sarah Bernhardt's last visit
to New York she came to my studio to
have some photographs taken of herself
successively in three or four costumes
of different roles she was then billed
to impersonate. Among them was that
dejected character of Leah, the for?
saken. 1 noticed that she wore the con?
ventional stage footgear, in which the
big toe is given its own individual glov?
ing, so to speak, and the other toes are
mittened together. I suggested that she
remove the stockings, which, after a
French shrug, denoting curiosity and
doubt, she did. I never saw in my life,
considering Mme. Bernhardt's years,
more beautiful and shapely feet than
hers. I posed her in such a way as to
leave one foot in profile and the other
in nearly a full view. Just at that mo?
ment a happy thought occurred to me.
"Taking from my waistcoat pocket
a crisp bank note, I folded it into a
wad a third of an inch or more thick
and gently pressed it between her right
big toe and its immediate neighbor of
smaller growth, so as to separate them
according to the old established canon
to which I have alluded. Mme. Bern?
hardt laughed heartily at my profes?
sional temerity, but she was given a
capital picture all the same."-New
York Telegram.
Instruction by Illustration.
Brevity is credited with being the
"soul of wit." Sometimes, however,
there comes at the end of a lengthy dis?
course a genuine flash of humor which
more than compensates for the time pre?
viously consumed. The Bev. Dr. Broad?
na was giving the junior class at the
Baptist Theological seminary their first
lecture. The junior class began by
showing the white heat earnestness of
high resolutions. It wanted to make a
good impression en Dr. Broadna, and
so it leaned over with drawn brows
and drank in every word of the speaker,
allaying in some slight degree its con?
suming, unquenchable thirst for knowl?
edge. But the wind of the junior class
did not hold out. The steady, sluggish
flow of dry facts about word roots swept
away the noble resolve. The junior
class began to get neck weary as Dr.
Broadus talked of things 3,000 years
old. That was a little too remote for
the junior class, which was flabby and
out of training from a long vacation.
The junior class tried to suppress a
yawn, fought against it and then yawn?
ed under its hand.
1 * Seventhly, ' ? said Dr. Broadus. This
seventhly was broken up in sections,
and there were so many of them that
they consumed almost the entire alpha?
bet. "And lastly, ' ' the lecturer said.
The junior class could not hide its
relief, though it tried hard enough.
"And," with the smoothest utterance
the speaker concluded, "I expect you
are about as tired of me now as your
congregations will be of you some day. "

Brooklyn Policemen See Queer Lights and
Look In the Dictionary For a Reason.
The police of Prospect park, Brook?
lyn, are puzzled and some of them
have been scared by mysterious lights
that have been flitting about the
park walks and drives. The lights are
described as two red balls of fire of
phosphorescent brilliancy. Each is the
size of a man's head, round and with
a tail like a comet. Both lights travel
together at a distance of five or six feet
from the ground, going along side by
side. They are never seen apart It
is only on dark, drizzly nights, the
police say, that the lights are abroad.
The lights ?ave been the subject of
general discussion among the policemen
after the relief hour, and notes have
been compared on their appearance.
Those who have encountered them in
the stillness of the night hours say that
the lights do not deviate from a straight
line till a certain point is reached,
when they shoot over to the big lake
and cross it. The lights have been
seen to come in at gate 4 on the doney
Island road from tte Boulevard and
pass along the east drive to the flower
garden.
From there they have deliberately
shot oft to the left, and while keeping
a regular distance, from the earth, have
flitted over to the lake where they have
shot across the water like a flash.
Exciting times are recorded by those
who have tried to capture the rights.
The police compare them to the lan?
terns of bicycles or carriages. A few
nights ago Policeman McGowan saw
them on the drive near Lookout hill.
He ran up and made a grab, but the
lights eluded his grasp. McGowan
was mystified. He consulted Police?
man McGuire, On the next post. It was
too late, he said, for a bicycle rider to
be abroad, and he could hear no rattle
of carriage wheels. Policeman Mc?
Guire could suggest no explanation.
On .another occasion, Policeman En?
nis says, eight of his comrades chased
them over Lookout hill. Near this
point is the Quaker cemetery, with its
ancient gravestones green with moss.
The red lights entered the graveyard
and flitted among the tombstones, while
Policemen Stillwell, Boyle, Ennis,
Brown, McGuire, Peffer and others
made desperate efforts to catch them.
When all hands reported at the Man?
sion House the men excitedly compared
notes and agreed that they could not
understand it.
Sergeant Foster said that several po?
licemen had been badly frightened.
He sa.\d the origin of the lights had
never been satisfactorily explained.
"We were all interested to know
something about them," he went on,
"and we consulted a dictionary. The
information there is that the words
'Ignis fatuus' explain the origin of the
lights. I remember," concluded the
sergeant, "reading of a man who got
so near to the light that he could al?
most set fire to a piece of paper. "
Here is the definition that Sergeant
Foster referred to :
"A phosphorescent light that ap?
pears in the night over marshy ground,
supposed to be occasioned by the de?
composition of animal or vegetable sub?
stances or by noninflammable gas ; pop?
ularly called also Will-with-the-wisp
and Jack-with-a-lantern. "
Historic Houses.
Now that ' ' The Terrace' ' in Kensing?
ton is down or doomed, it seems every
house in it once sheltered a celebrity.
And yet scarcely any one knew any?
thing about it. It is always the way
with historic houses. The "link with
the past" paragraph is the first intima?
tion that the past was memorable.
When the interest is with us, we don't
know it. The Society of Arts has indeed
singled out and decorated certain
houses-Walpole's in Arlington street,
Dryden's in Gerrard street, Mrs. Sid?
dons' at the top of Bakers street, Louis
Napoleon's in King street, Thackeray's
in Palace Green, but we want many
more to be ascertained and notified.
The house where Thackeray wrote
"Vanity Fair" is said still to stand in
Young street. One of Dickens' last
residences is opposite the Marble arch ;
the house where Goldsmith lived and
died is in Brick court, Temple ; Charles
Wesley's house and William Blake's
house can yet be identified. While we
have these we don't value them; we
don't care to identify them. But when
the navvy comes with his basket and
his pickaxe, the "link with the past"
paragraph goes its round.
In other capitals the great man's
memory runs no risk. In Rome there
is a marble plaque on the house Sir
Walter Scott occupied, in Genoa on
O'Connell's hotel, in Florence on Mrs.
Browning's casa, in Frankfort on Mo?
zart's lodgings in the Zeil. And yet
these are the several recognitions of a !
foreign interest. We cannot even ap- I
preciate our own. The truth is, this
duty should devolve on a responsible
and continuing body, the board of
works or the county council, and not be
left to the voluntary effort of a private
association like the Society of Arts.

We have received from the Massachu- j

of the mechanical engineering course.
There aro to be lectures twice a week

A Misquotation.
Ono of the English papers is much
distressed at the constant misquoting
of Carlyle's famous definition of genius.
He did not say iu his history of "Fred- ?
erick tho Great" anything so simple as
"genius, which means infinite capacity
for taking pains." That was too ordi- 1
nary for the Chelsea sage. What he i
did say was "genius, which means
transcendent capacity of taking trouble,
first of all." That is more like Mm.
The sentence is so often quoted it may
as well be quoted straight.-Boston
Journal.
Big; British Steam Facht?.
Yachts of enormous size and of th J
most luxurious fittings have in recent
years become the order of the day, and
Mr. Cecil Leigh's White Heather, Mr.
Wythe's St. George and Lord Ashbur
ton's magnificent craft Venetia are not?
able examples of the floating palaces of
the period ; but it has been left to Mr.
Laycock to eclipse them all with his
Valhalla, the largest English yacht
afloat.
True, the American owners vie with
us in the size of their vessels and the
perfection of their arrangements and
Mr. Astor's new boat, the Valliant (sic),
fa even larger than the Valhalla, but
no yacht that flies the English flag can
approach the splendid steam craft now
fitting out at Southampton for a length?
ened cruise. In the early part of this
year she proved herself on her first voy?
age to be an admirable sea boat and
very fast under sail, and there is every
prospect that the large party soon to
leave England with Mr. Laycock on
an even longer voyage than that of last
spring will find that the splendid vessel
deserves the reputation she has already
earned.-London Telegraph.
living For Show.
We fix up our homes altogether too
much with the idea of either what the
outside world will say of them or to outdo
our neighbors. When we reach that
point where we shall dismiss a little of
that ostentation that is now so prevalent
in many of our homes, we shall not only
reach a happier state for ourselves, but
we will remove one-half of the nervous
ailments from which our women are now
suffering. It is all well enough to have
a pretty home, with rooms filled with
dainty bric-a-brac, mirrors, cushions and
ornaments of every sort, but some one
must take care of the things, and gener?
ally it is not the help we may employ.
So far as the ornamentation of our
houses is concerned, we are overdoing it
in the majority of cases anyway. A room
tasteful in its rich simplicity is the ex?
ception rather than the rule. The greater
part of our drawing rooms resemble mu?
seums more than anything else, and a
man is never so comfortable as when he
is out of them. Between kicking some
ting over or knocking something off, the
average man's mind is anything but a
tranquil one in the typical modern draw?
ing room.-New York Mail and Express,
A Gas Engine Dynamo.
A gas engine for dynamo service has
been in operation at the station of the
Waukesha (Wis. ) Electric Light company
for over a year. It is a 100 horsepower,
two cylinder Otto engine, with an elec?
tric igniter and an unusually heavy fly?
wheel and pulley, the regularity of mo?
tions being increased by the use of a
heavy balance wheel carried on a jack
shaft. Measurements of the consump?
tion of gas have been made several times
by the manager, George A. Farwell, who
reports that in a 10 hour run driving 53
arc lights of 2,000 candle power, on a 9*
mile circuit, 10,920 feet were burned,
equal to 20.6 cubic feet of gas per lamp
per hour. In another test 36 arc lights
and 300 incandescent lamps were run on
1,400 feet an hour, and in still another
test 36 arc lights and 425 incandescent
lamps were run on 1,600 feet an hour.
